The only thing they’re never offended by is Republican officials’ criminal negligence that gets kids killed.

Lol, the sister of the Times’ Nazi source posts on Blue Sky and is dropping family lore: These are the types of people Times political editors and reporters think are sophisticated intellectuals. That’s the type of people the Times, WaPo, and other mainstream media institutions hire now to cover politics because their executives think the left went insane in 2020 with the BLM marches.

Man, if after everything that has happened here the past ten years you're still not concerned about the most prestigious newspapers in our country lending mainstream legitimacy to fascist propaganda, I don't know what to tell you.

I'd guess there's like an 80%+ chance Mandani's parents and/or school counselor encouraged him to check the box for African American. But I think the much bigger deal is how this story got to the New York Times in the first place, how they reported it, and what that reveals about how they operate. It's not that long ago that the Times refused to published hacked and leaked materials that were much more newsworthy: the Trump campaign's oppo research file on Vance. But here, a freelance medical reporter (whose main beat appears to be anti-trans shit) was given hacked college student application records by Jordan Lasker, who is friends with Richard Hanania, is a fairly well known white supremacist, eugenicist, and peddler of racist pseudoscience, and is grad school dropout who committed academic misconduct so severe he got a tenured co-author of a paper he worked on fired. In short, he's a fucking nazi. Also, this isn't as big of a deal, but his twitter handle "cremieux" is a cum joke and his reddit handle is trannyporn0. Now, depending on the information and the story, maybe the fact that the source is a nazi doesn't keep you from reporting it. But a real journalistic outfit would be pretty fucking careful. They'd want to make sure they weren't being used to advance the nazi's agenda and they would want to be honest with their audience about who their source was. Did the Times do any of that? No. They were happy to tell exactly the story the nazi wanted them to tell, they gave the nazi anonymity, and even described him as an "academic" so their audience would think the source was something other than a dipshit, gutter racist little nazi freak. And published this on the same day SCOTUS just gave the OK for Trump to illegally render people to third-world torture prisons and the GOP passed their bill destroying Medicaid and giving ICE a bigger budget than all but two militaries on the planet get. The Times' ownership has reduced it to a shitty nazi propaganda rag. And the real cherry on top of this story? They did all this so their source could try to make some money gambling on the effect he thought the story would have on the prediction markets, but it had none.

Mamdani is both Asian and was literally born in Uganda. Checking two accurate boxes on a college application isn’t doing anything wrong and it’s not fucking newsworthy. The fact that the Times is taking assignments from Nazis and giving the Nazis anonymity should be a much bigger story.

Jamelle Bouie posted on Blue Sky that he thought a reporter should reveal when their source is a Nazi and was made to delete it by the Times brass.

Oh no, SCOTUS won’t let Obama run.

Maybe he can't help himself, but he doesn't need the army now that ICE has more funding than any military outside of us and China. They're his own private army.

The absolute minimum we must do if we manage to retake power and want to fix anything is arrest and send Roberts, Kavanaugh, Barrett, Scalia, Gorsuch, and Thomas to fucking CECOT or South Sudan while they await trial.

I do feel like we've avoided the absolute worst case scenario, which would've been all the ICE shit being popular enough for long enough that they were able to go full nazi without really facing much organized resistance. I know it doesn't seem like it, but there has been at least some degree of effective organized resistance (though mostly not from Democratic officials, which would be fucking nice to have) and we've had some small wins here and there. And ICE's kidnappings are incredibly unpopular. But now, what is probably realistically our best chance basically looks like this: 1. Super-ICE keeps doing the shit ICE has been doing and turning more and more people against them. Thousands die in their concentration camps while Trump hires millions out as slave labor. 2. Dems take the House (and Senate, maybe) in 2026 and stop the bleeding, but probably won't be able to actually substantially reduce ICE's funding or restrain their criminality in any substantive way. 3. Trump runs again (and gets the GOP's nomination) and SCOTUS doesn't object. 4. This pisses off enough people that a Dem wins like 55/45 in 2028 and we have to hope the military's leadership acknowledges the Dem as the new President. At the end of all of this, we've still got to deal with whatever the fuck ICE has become by 2028, which will likely be an insurrectionary military force that we'll need the army to put down. Then we're going to have to actually prosecute tens of thousands of fascists to the fullest fucking extent of the law, not some piddly one year or time served bullshit, to ensure that they're too scared to come out of their mom's basements for another 100 years.

Schumer shouldn’t have caved on the continuing resolution earlier this year. Jeffries isn’t good enough at public messaging and really should’ve known better from the jump that the right approach was full obstruction and zero bipartisanship, but he’s not nearly as shitty as Schumer.
-
That's fair. Personally I want to see Gillibrand and others like her loaded up into a Space X rocket, both for being bigots and just for their pure stupidity.

I think Fantana is somewhat conflating New York Democrats with “liberals.” Yeah, a lot of liberals have some degree of anti-Muslim bias just because for most it’s still an “other” that they don’t have much experience with, but there’s nothing that your ordinary liberal loves more than to think they’re multicultural and tolerant so that limits it quite a bit. But a lot of New York Dems aren’t even liberal, they’re conservatives who happen to be Dems because in New York that’s the only real game in town. That leads to some confusion with New York liberal politicians as well who cater for those conservatives’ votes (I’m thinking Gillibrand here), but the real anti Muslim shit in New York isn’t coming from liberals.

I was just joking about the time Ana did a “maybe Trump will pass Medicare for all!”

When did Ana hack Stassney’s account?
