As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it.

Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.

Far-right authoritarian tactics to socially marginalize, intimidate, and disenfranchise a group. The oppression of one group signals to others you could be next. This goes far beyond bigotry. The authoritarian playbook enabled and empowered by anti-trans and anti-woke actors.

Jesse Jackson appeared on Sesame Street in 1973.

During his appearance, he led a group of children in reciting his well-known poem โ€œI Am Somebody,โ€ a message focused on self-worth and empowerment

The segment became one of the most memorable celebrity appearances from the early seasons of the show.

Nick Fuentes: โ€œThe number one political enemy in America is women. โ€ฆ They have to be imprisoned.โ€

Fuentes, yesterday: โ€œOur #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.โ€

Sex and snacks, but no seat at the table: the role of women in Epsteinโ€™s sordid menโ€™s club Files reveal a world of flattery and fratboy tones, where rich men are cultivated and women provide services

'The Epstein files reveal a patriarchy in action. This is a world where the men are rich and powerful, and the women are not. The emails showcase the private behaviour of a male ruling class, as they network, joke and trade information.'

All 6 Palestine Action activists in the Elbit Systems break-in have been found not guilty on all charges. This action was one of the main 'reasons' the govt. proscribed PA as a terrorist organisation. Nearly 3000 people have been arrested for showing support. There must be pardons and compensation.
