remember when centrists would call you an insane person if you said jeff bezos ownership is going to run the washington post into the ground
For those of you keeping score at home, the actual cut to the Post newsroom was 45%, not the widely reported one third. Remaining journalists are a bit over 400, down from around 1100 four years ago and 580 when Bezos bought the place.

The trans 'debate' is the only global crisis involving hundreds of thousands of imagined victims where the evidence is like four child athletes who just want to play sports and Chloe Cole
This entire 'debate' is so maddening. We have been promised that a groundswell of rushed, dissatisfied detransitioners was about to emerge for nearly a decade.
Not only have they never materialized, but academic research continues to show small numbers, long assessments and miniscule regret rates.

It will never cease to amaze me how normalised it is for the government to take this much of an intrusive, personal interest in the fertility of teenage girls. Like, this is so weird and creepy but normie society is just like, yeah I guess this is how things are.
DID YOU KNOW
that if an AFAB person (including teen) goes on Accutane for acne, they must join a federal program called iPLEDGE (because the meds are "potentially harmful to fetuses")
wherein they must get bloodwork & a pregnancy test
each month
& fill out forms re: what birth control they're on

During the 12-Day War, many of the Israeli “bombings” in Iran weren’t carried out by high-tech stealth fighters weaving around Iranian air defenses, but by hired thugs already inside the country.

In history today, radical labor activist Mother Jones is arrested after participating in a miner’s strike in 1913.
The noir of the day is 1955’s THE BIG COMBO, directed by Joseph H. Lewis for Allied Artists and starring Richard Conte, Jean Wallace, and Cornel Wilde.

"Epstein Class" is a label for an upper tier of billionaires who are associated with a pedophile. They may have self-selected for Judaism. No one on the "left-wing" has made this association.

Yeah, I don't think the right needs to hear the left refer to the 'Epstein Class" to be antisemitic. That transcript of Fox being antisemitic never even mentions "Epstein class."

Implicit in your post is that we should care what right wing nazis think, and I would like you to consider not doing that anymore if you would actually like to defeat them instead of 'work with them' (ie let their white supremacy project continue)

Considering Labour is having several paedophile crisis I find it interesting to think that Keir Starmer is "the Labour Party in human form", considering the Labour Party is awash with paedos for as far as the eye can see
It is amazing really that Starmer's last line of defence re: his connection to paedophiles is refuting this.
Though in fairness to the piece Starmer absolutely is "the Labour Party in human form" [derogatory].

I think this probably overstates a) how much attention the right pays to intra-left factional fighting, and b) whether anything we say will influence their relentless spin of anything and everything into an antisemitic conspiracy
There’s a section of the populist left that wants to win internal Democratic Party fights by calling their factional opponents the “Epstein class,” and it just seems really obvious that the populist right is going to hear that as “the Jews” with some very bad results.
Current state of things: One Fox News host casually declares that Epstein’s money comes from “Jewish billionaires” and a “Jewish banking family,” another responds that he was a “sex rabbi.” www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/jes...
