Still no shame?

John Hendel continues sane washing Carr "The notice marks new territory for Carr, who has championed conservative causes across a range of agency issues"

Lol. Carr is a fascist and Trump *ss kisser, but he's a Hendel source so...

Cf. the Bezos Post, "Republicans gerrymandering in Texas is fine, actually" b/w "Democrats gerrymandering in Virginia is a threat to democracy"

DOJ charges Southern Poverty Law Center with fraud over secret funding of extremist groups The Southern Poverty Law Center said it is "outraged" by what it called the "false allegations" by the Department of Justice.

I really wish more people had paid attention when several observers tried to warn about the technofascist and eugenicist tendencies of thiel and karp and that group, for rolling up on two decades, now.

And i *Really* wish the media & political actors would take the threat of them seriously, today 😕

Jesus, you are a fucking idiot

You are just as bad as him

This report brought to you by the folks who should have fired Carolyn Ryan for helping to elect Trump in 2016 but instead elevated her to managing editor

The shenanigans that ensue when a publication hates its readers.

The "reporting" will continue until readers accept HRC was awful, Trump is normal, Mamdani is Satan, and trans folks should be grateful for the tiniest crumbs of acceptance

“mfs have forgotten that ICE was called by a slumlord in Chicago to raid a Black and Latino complex, destroyed and tossed units and property, put children in handcuffs, and threw everybody out in the Chicago fall weather.”

I'm old enough to remember when the Washington Post Op-Ed page platformed that racist bullshit from Michael Anton without fact-checking the quotes
