Today the @nytimes.com sought to whitewash its central role in laundering anti-trans falsehoods and turbocharging anti-trans attacks nationwide. My reporting showed that editorial leadership was aware of this depravity which is why this disingenuous piece can’t erase the scale of what they’ve done.

Most red states in the South are states with majority black populations. I reject the idea that blue states should punish (or mock) the people living in red states to prove a political point, as if it would even be feasible.
This kind of rhetoric solidifies the idea that liberals are out of touch.

People feared the computer glitch would mean "the end of the world as we know it." Thankfully, Y2K didn't live up to the hype after years and billions of dollars were spent on painstaking preparation.
Y2K seems like a joke now, but in 1999 people were really freaking out

This post from @parkermolloy.com is very important. I’m terrified of Trump stacking the courts for another four years. We already will be dealing with the fallout from his earlier appointments for decades. More would be tragic. And folks from marginalized groups would get the worst of it.
