Oh! I know this one! It's because NYT is actually a propaganda machine to control the left.
My evidence:
NYT has been controlled by the same family since 1896 and they're mega rich. That being said, NYT also has shareholders. The largest two are BlackRock and Vanguard.

Even in Paris we are doing our part to #boycottAmazon & other corporate enablers of the Trump régime.
We vote with our dollars; every purchase away from corporate oligarchs is another chip at their armor. Together we can collapse their power.
You matter. Your money matters.
Show them.

It’s the busiest shopping period of the year, so we’re hitting pause on buying from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=bluesky

Re: voting yes on CR + Clôture
At this point, you should just resign. You're spineless, weak, and ineffectual.
You're willing to rubber stamps their atrocious spending bill to maintain bipartisan appearance.

And I asked her like do you hate Serbians bc of Srebrenica ?
And she still said no. Serbians were the ones who helped her family not get murdered.
That not all of them were evil.
So she can't hate all of them.
I think about that a lot.

I'm really scared this is going to devolve Yugoslavia style into violence.
It's so tempting to hate MAGAts forever.
In this perilous time I'm just tryna remember the example my Bosnian friend set. Her family was gonna be ambushed & executed.
Some Serb friends of theirs warned them.
