In the last decade, the Atlantic has not platformed a single trans person to speak about issues affecting them or the broader trans community. Not a single one. Yet, they have monthly screeds by Helen Lewis and endless money to pay random transphobic grifters to pump stuff like this out.
“The war continues working, day and night.
It inspires tyrants
to deliver long speeches
awards medals to generals
and themes to poets
it contributes to the industry
of artificial limbs
provides food for flies
adds pages to the history books
achieves equality
between killer and killed”

Brendan O'Neill Hannah Spencer combines the spirit of CBeebies with the politics of Gaza The new Green MP campaigned in Urdu and appealed to the communal fury of Muslim voters
Brendan O'Neill Published 28 February 2026 8:00am GMT If Queers for Palestine were a person, it would be Hannah Spencer. No one better sums up the dimness and sheer vacuity of the modern Left than the new MP for Gorton and Denton. There she is in her blue jeans and trendy trainers dancing awkwardly as Muslim men who dream of wrapping her sinful body in a black cloak look on with restrained fury
If we’re ever going to get out of this, the British media class must be destroyed
Thanks to @rheinze.myatproto.social for reskeeting my question yesterday: I can now confirm that the TIME image of Miriam Makeba is authentic!
UPDATE: it's legit! TIME Magazine did a kind of retrospective "Women of the Year" in 2020, and this is in fact an official image from the magazine, though Makeba did not appear on the cover. It seems to have been a strategy to make up for their historical failures? time.com/5793625/zenz...
But this isn’t just a regular account. Johnny MAGA appears to actually be a White House staffer named Garrett Wade who works for the Trump administration as a rapid response manager, helping to run the very same White House account his anonymous MAGA account amplifies. A phone number associated with Wade is linked to Johnny MAGA, according to a WIRED review of publicly available records, and the connection was confirmed by a source close to the White House. Wade and the White House did not respond to requests for comment.
The Johnny MAGA account was created in September 2021, according to its X profile. (It originally used a different handle, which referenced Wade’s birth year, according to records reviewed by WIRED.) While the account’s earliest available posts focused on NFTs, it has been a consistent pro-Trump presence since at least 2022. The operator of the Johnny MAGA account has not disclosed an official relationship with the White House while operating the Johnny MAGA X account. Multiple media outlets, including Mother Jones, TownHall, and the New York Post, have all linked out to posts on the Johnny MAGA account seemingly as organic reflections of public sentiment on political issues.
This is very good reporting that sheds light on just how small the extremely pro-Trump online right really is. The online right is totally astroturfed. The White House's own staffers are running meme accounts to make them look more popular than they are. www.wired.com/story/a-whit...
South African/ists and African/ists: does anybody know where this (fake?) Time cover comes from? I can't find much online, but it seems odd that it is missing the price and the date at the top, and instead has the year 1967 under the subhead. It is however all over the Internet.
1. The New York Times, unsurprisingly, has released yet another hit piece on transgender people.
This time, it comes from Jesse Singal.
I fact check it in my latest piece.

The Fine Dining and Restaurant industry is a dead format now that canned dog food exists. Food prep and service are unnecessary. Home cooking and baking are inessential. Restaurant and food reviewers are no longer needed. Dog food delivery services will make grocery stores obsolete in months.

AAUP Purdue is calling for the resignation of the University's provost.
“Provost Wolfe’s conduct has negatively impacted the careers of faculty and staff who are here to serve the student population, with devastating consequences for student learning and campus governance."

"It's not accurate to say that Puerto Rico has no value to us. It actually has negative value. We support it with our tax dollars. It does basically nothing for us in return. A total parasitic relationship."
The US extracted the wealth from Puerto Rico through sugar/tobacco plantations for decades while paying farm laborers almost nothing. The Jones act has taxed Puerto Ricans to prop up a US shipping cartel for a century. The only parasites are the wealthy Americans extracting wealth from the island.
You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

There was a particularly annoying episode of What’s Left of Philosophy where one of the Chibber bros was like “citing Arendt is a reason for me to not take someone seriously” and for me that statement had a boomerang effect
"That all men are created equal is not self-evident nor can it be proved. We hold this opinion because freedom is possible only among equals, and we believe that the joys and gratifications of free company are to be preferred to the doubtful pleasures of holding dominion."

I know these numbers are bad for Trump and bad for MAGA but some part of me is still flabbergasted that 1 in 3 18-29 year olds think he’s doing a good job. And 1 in 3 women! Imagine these people!!!
The piece, which doesn't mention Rowling's toxic politics at all, is by a conservative anti-trans opinion writer, because who else would the NYT tap to write about Potter?
While this shift from calling Good and Pretti “domestic terrorists” to lamenting their death is a win for brave Minnesotans, notice that they do not include undocumented immigrants who have been killed both on the streets and in concentration camps. We must reject this continued dehumanization.
dont let a few ICE agents leaving mn fool you. nothing on the ground has changed yet. this is a way for them to distract and give a scapegoat so the rest of the world will turn a blind eye.
ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.”
it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.
