Turns out the PAC was funded by a company with the same business address as three companies run by Alex Tavlian, a well-known Fresno-area political consultant who is also the treasurer of the Fresno Future Forward PAC.

twenty-nine (29!!!) nyt stories were cited to support the state in the u.s. v skrmetti decision (h/t @assignedmedia.org for reporting for @objectivejournos.bsky.social) to further limit access to trans healthcare. just horrid horrid stuff objectivejournalism.org/2025/06/new-...

not to mention they don't even log it as a correction or update,, where is the transparency with readers 😭😭

the folks at the nyt are genuinely so trigger happy 😭 not to mention the article doesn't grapple with what this actually means or its significance,, aka a nutgraf!

because the implication is that he co-opts Blackness! but as the article states, he doesn't actually do that? big sigh

media stories are boring, Ivy League admissions stories are even more boring, so I’ll leave it to others to determine whether Zohran allegedly gaming Columbia’s admissions is a bigger deal than NYT attributing a prolific scientific racist as an “opponent of affirmative action”

There are only seven counties in California with a majority of residents enrolled in Medicaid.

FIVE of them are in California's San Joaquin Valley.

Just on Sunday in downtown Fresno, I witnessed what appeared to be plainclothes federal authorities in masks and sunglasses taking two men into the back of a Ford Explorer outside an ICE contractor's office.

This is creating a lot of chaos for community members.
