Framework supporting far-right racists?

It's been brought to my attention that Framework, a company whose laptops i've recommended in the past, is now flirting with far right types with a donation to Hyprland, then they tried to walk it back with "I'm just a little guy, big tent values uwu".

The nyt’s anti-trans coverage has always been Sulzberger’s political project. He and his lieutenants saw trans ppl as easy prey, a way to show the right wing the nyt was not a “liberal rag” and pay no price for their bigotry
But there is a price: the lives of trans ppl, especially young ppl.

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:
Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.
The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

Maria has been accused over the years of fabricating her story that she had gone to the FBI. After finding the document in the trove, I called her. She broke down in tears.
“I’ve waited 30 years. I can’t believe it. They can’t call me a liar anymore.”

How the nyt used the Cass report to restart its anti-trans propaganda campaign in the US:
Coverage of the report was initially assigned to a nyt UK correspondent, usual practice for a UK report. The story being prepared cited critics who called Cass a shoddy, political document that defied science

One reason the NYT has burned its credibility with trans people is that they still cite the discredited Cass report in reporting on trans healthcare. Never the German, Utah, or other systematic reviews supporting care. They also never provide the political context behind restrictions in care.

Cannot be stressed enough how quickly these fabricated “academic studies” will be used to promote the entire right-wing wishlist—hurting trans people, banning vaccines, inventing fetal brain activity, etc.—all only for it to be far too late when everyone points it out.
I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

The Trump administration is attempting to force a new term for gender affirming care to call it "sex rejecting procedures." This term was literally made up this year by the far right group Ethics and Public Policy Center in a comment submitted in April 2025. It is now being used widely by HHS.

It's incredible to me how the mainstream press will be incredulous and skeptical when RFK Jr and other HHS officials push they're quackery around vaccines but suddenly become credulous when they go attack trans healthcare. Anti vax and anti trans beliefs are all the same quack pseudoscience.
