Articles about Brigitte Bardot after her death on Sunday have referred to her far right sympathies, which supposedly emerged later in the film star's life. Here she is, though, in 1958 with Jean-Marie Le Pen and Pierre Lagaillarde, future founder of the extremist OAS terror group

Brigitte Bardot has been fined for racism multiple times, she called muslim immigrants "filthy", she openly supported the far right like few other celebrities in Europe. She was not "controversial," she was a hateful homophobe, racist and bigot.

In 1909 Matthew Henson became the first man to reach the North Pole. He arrived 45 minutes before Robert Peary, but he was denied the honor because he was an African American.

100 years later, they finally admitted that Henson came in first. He was posthumously awarded all the same honors.

You guys caught this too, right?

“Donald J. Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.” ███████ noted some girl with a funny name “took me into a fancy hotel or building, that’s how it happened.”

Also this: she was advised to call the police. But she replied, “I can’t, they will kill me.”

When British journalist Marozzi was covering the 2011 uprising in Libya, at a meeting in Tripoli, Libya, with a group of rebels, one turned to a Black comrade and said, “Hey, slave! Go and get me a coffee!”

The Gaza genocide has almost disappeared from the news, even though it's still ongoing. If you live in Europe or the US (and many other places), your govt is complicit.

Write about it, post about it, speak about it. Demonstrate, donate, organise.

The people who profited most from the cancel culture/free speech panic were less interested in actual freedom of speech than establishing their own control over public discourse. You don't even have to take my word for it. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...
Every society that has ever existed has had views that are mainstream and views that are fringe. The free-speech frauds who captured the discourse over the past decade understood this, but their true objection was that they did not unilaterally have the power to define which was which. For example, in a 2018 Times column, Weiss complained that “leftists” were engaged in a “concerted attempt to significantly redraw the bounds of acceptable thought and speech.” This was meant to sound sinister, menacing. In fact, this is politics. Every faction is always trying to “redraw the bounds of acceptable thought and speech.” In a free society, the government allows people to have those arguments. Such disputes are not a threat to free speech; they are free speech. When I say that CBS News’s Bari Weiss understood this, you needn’t take my word for it. In November, shortly after being given the reins to one of the oldest broadcast-news organizations in the country, Weiss used identical language to describe her own project: “I think it’s about redrawing the lines of what falls in the 40-yard lines of acceptable debate and acceptable American politics and culture,” Weiss said at the Jewish Leadership Conference. “And I don’t mean that in, like, a censorious, gatekeeping way.” What’s the difference between her “redrawing the lines” of acceptable speech and other people doing it? What makes one “censorious” and “gatekeeping” and the other not? Well, because she gets to decide. That’s what so much of the free-speech panic was ever about: making sure the right people were in charge of what you see, hear, and read. Notably, this has very little to do with reporting the news, which is supposed to be what CBS News does. But if the point of installing Weiss was to ensure that she would gatekeep on behalf of right-wing interests, that is precisely what she appears to be doing.

WHO Chief: More than 100,000 children and 37,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women in Gaza are projected to suffer acute malnutrition by April next year.
Post See new posts Conversation Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros The latest @theIPCinfo analysis for #Gaza confirms that no areas of the Strip are currently classified as being in famine following the recent October ceasefire and improved humanitarian and commercial access. But this welcome progress remains extremely fragile as the population continues to struggle with massive infrastructure destruction, collapsed livelihoods and local food production, and restrictions to humanitarian operations. Over 100,000 children and 37,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women are still projected to suffer acute malnutrition through April next year. At the same time, only 50% of Gaza's health facilities are partially functional and they face shortages of essential supplies and equipment, which are often subject to complex entry procedures and restrictions with many classified as potentially dual-use. To scale up life-saving services and expand access to care, @WHO calls for the urgent and expedited approval and entry of essential medical supplies, equipment and prefabricated hospital structures.

Just as media experts and pretty much everyone with a sane mind warned of right from the start:

Corporate censorship in journalism is now taking hold in US media.

European, esp. German media need to watch closely - and prepare upfront for how this strategy will show itself not abroad, but at home.

it's not that you have to be stupid to be an effective regime mouthpiece, but it certainly helps bari weiss that she has a wind tunnel between her ears www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...
Ms. Weiss had raised numerous concerns to “60 Minutes” producers about Ms. Alfonsi’s segment on Friday and Saturday, and she asked for a significant amount of new material to be added, according to three people familiar with the internal discussions. One of Ms. Weiss’s suggestions was to include an interview with Stephen Miller, a White House deputy chief of staff and the architect of Mr. Trump’s immigration crackdown, or a similarly high-ranking Trump administration official, two of the people said. Ms. Weiss provided contact information for Mr. Miller to the “60 Minutes” staff. Ms. Weiss also questioned the use of the term “migrants” to describe the Venezuelan men who were deported, noting that they were in the United States illegally, two of the people said.

this is not complicated, but Ben Shapiro and Bethany Mandel and yes David Frum have invested practically their entire sense of self in the dream of ethnonationalist superiority, in Israel over Palestinians, but also in the US over nonwhite people.

Please also cc all any and all of your complaints to Yale Law School. This is the America their graduates have built.
"I kept shouting at them that she was from here, but they wouldn't listen to me," the younger sister recalled. Shirley said the stop and her sister's arrest seemed like racial discrimination: "I showed them our identifications, and they didn't pay me any attention, they went straight to my sister because she's darker than me." From there, Diaz Morales was sent to a holding room at Baltimore's ICE office. And while attorneys worked to file a petition for writ of habeas corpus on Diaz Morales' behalf, at some point ICE transferred her to Louisiana — a troubling move given both the ongoing legal effort to keep her in Maryland and the state's reputation as a deportation hub. "The thing that's been the most difficult so far is that, in all of our interactions with the government, they're denying that any of her birth certificates, which are from Laurel, Maryland, her records of immunization, medical records — they're denying the authenticity of them," Perez said.
