Auspicious start for the new CBS News, laundering unattributed cop shit-talking through the incoming editor-in-chief’s blog and failing to correct a misspelling of the story subject’s name in the web headline for three days.

it is just a straightforward statement of fact to say that the trump administration sees any black student at an elite institution as one too many
So Much for Class-Based Affirmative Action
The Trump administration considers even race-blind admissions policies illegal if they’re intended to achieve diversity.

the fact that a sitting US president is talking about antifascism being terrorism should tell you a lot about what he thinks his own government represents

cancelling Disney+ and Hulu is well and good but it’s not a huge hit on an individual level

but Disney adults? people who spend real money at the parks? you guys can make a dent, call ‘em up and tell them your vacation is postponed until they pull their heads out of their asses

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama.

His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful.

Now he is tweeting in support of me.

This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*.

Or used to work.
Tweet From Obama mentioning my firing from the Washington post. Wirh a photo of me

I think this comparison is largely right.

Yes, it’s a replay of McCarthyism’s ugliest aspects but that was fueled by a widespread sense that the country faced dire external dangers while this is about a deeply unpopular president’s grudges.

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

i think that if the FCC threatened to revoke ABC’s license unless it replaced Jimmy Kimmel with Kevin Hart to diversify the network, Ilya Shapiro would be able to identify the issue here

This really is the final expression of "libertarianism" as it is practiced in the US today.
Tweet from Ilya Shapiro: "Wait, is it the government that makes hiring/firing decisions at ABC?"
responding to Chris Hayes saying: "This is the most straightforward attack on free speech from state actors I've ever seen in my life and it's not even close."

all of this makes me want to scream, but the part I'm going to be up all night rage-spiraling about is accusing her of "potentially endangering the physical safety of our staff"

just flippin' those narratives right around so the Black woman, a TARGET of violent hate speech, becomes the aggressor

Reporters talking with everyone who has ever met the shooter asking if the shooter knew any trans people. Healthy society we have here for sure.

Why isn’t every local news broadcast opening with, “What are the ‘Groypers’, and how do you know the signs of your son is part of the deadly gang?”

DC comics planting their flag on the moral high ground on the side of a white nationalist, transphobe while dutifully carrying on his rotten work in the firing of Gretchen Felker-Martin.
The characters of the DC universe would find this despicable.

So after two straight days of Republicans saying trans people and the Left did this, threatening full on violence, it turns out the suspect is a politically unaffiliated white dude who was trained to use guns by his Republican law enforcement dad? Do I have that right?

Nancy Mace acting on disinformation that the shooter was trans: goes off on tirade against "trannies"

Nancy Mace when the actual shooter is a Christian white man: "he's just a poor lost boy, let us pray for him."
A screenshot of a tweet from the Daily Caller, which has been reposted by Rep. Nancy Mace. The tweet reads: "'ENOUGH IS ENOUGH': Rep. Nancy Mace comments on reports of Charlie Kirk's killer allegedly being 'pro-tranny'". The tweet includes a video thumbnail showing Rep. Nancy Mace outdoors wearing sunglasses and speaking to reporters. The timestamp is 11:29 AM, September 11, 2025. A screenshot of a tweet from Rep. Nancy Mace (@RepNancyMace). The tweet, posted at 10:36 AM on September 12, 2025, reads: "We know Charlie Kirk would want us to pray for such an evil, and lost individual like Tyler Robinson to find Jesus Christ. We will try to do the same."

RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.
