Does The New York Times Want to Eradicate Trans People? — Assigned An analysis of its coverage reveals a pattern of misrepresentations, deceptions, distortions, the exclusion of trans voices, and the endorsement of contempt.

The New York Times coverage of trans issues has repeatedly resulted in experts and others complaining that their words were twisted and misrepresented... but only those quoted from on trans supportive side have that complaint.

Coincidence or eliminationism? @billiejsweeney.bsky.social dives in.

AOC’s Munich Stumble Is a Warning to the Left It’s time for progressives to get more sophisticated about national security and foreign policy.

Saying "um, ah, well..." for thirty seconds and then changing the subject has been the literal policy of the united states as regards the defense of Taiwan for decades. The whole point is to avoid giving a straight answer. If you want to critique on FP at least read a Wikipedia first.

blaming the crisis of capitalism on "rent seekers" because you're trying to avoid antagonizing "productive" business owners is how you get fascism btw

Was about to mock this, but then I realized that when the Key Food down the street from me cuts the price on unsold rotisserie chickens by 75% after 8pm, that's where I want to be seen

“Today, New York City’s rental market is defined by two colliding forces: tenants’ need for affordable rents, and landlords’ need to repay their creditors. Only public ownership offers an escape from the mounting pressure.”

Stop Blaming DoorDash for the Affordability Crisis One DoorDash Discourse to rule them all: Food away from home is down. Groceries are up. This is especially true for young people. Affordability is a real problem.

DoorDash Discourse is entirely wrong.

Since the pandemic, percent spending on groceries are up, food away from home is down, and this is especially true for young people. Trends point to food affordability being a real problem.

This feels like the mirror world at work, except this time it’s the left/progressives mirrorin'g the right's going deep down a conspiracy rabbit hole. I’m open to being convinced otherwise, but a coincidental overlap in timing is not proof of directed orchestration.

Pretty simple story. The Post was primed to get a massive influx of subscribers and interest in the Trump 2 era — and they've produced major scoops consistently in this period — and then something very obvious stopped it all from happening.
