The media has barely covered this. Imagine if it was a conservative judge who had ruled in favor of Trump. We'd never hear the end of it.

Why haven't we heard more about South Carolina Judge Diane Goodstein's house being set on fire, after ruling against Trump. Arson is suspected. Her husband and family is hospitalized. MEDIA: Do your f**king job. @BraddrofliT

yeah okay

Here’s what we at Local 476 have to say about the White House memo:

👉🏾 Go f* yourself.

The Government Employee Fair Treatment Act of 2019
guarantees back pay — period.

No memo, no spin, no “reinterpretation” from OMB can override federal law.

Whenever I see something talking about "The West," I mentally substitute "The White Nations" or "Christendom".

You do not in fact have to praise the guy who said homeless people should be murdered with lethal injections and then apologized four days later to save his job. Let's get a grip here.

Well if they would like to denounce political violence....

Reading this, one has to wonder if the Trib editorial board wasn't a bit excited to see the holiday weekend's bloodshed. God forbid they try to lift the city up.

And the call for measured cooperation with the Trump White House is, to put it nicely, completely detached from reality.

Stranding millions worth of assets under construction is definitely good for the American investment climate.

Reminder: The actual language of the “golden share” deal with US Steel seems only to apply to Trump, which is not how it was reported by the financial press.

The financial press to needs to scrutinize the actual language of this Intel deal rather than repeating the Trump’s characterization of it.

A key point we try to get at here: Media is covering Trump's militarization of cities AS IF IT'S ACTUALLY ABOUT CRIME.

But it isn't. It's about the CONSOLIDATION OF AUTHORITARIAN POWER. Yet many headlines and analyses are all about whether it's true that crime is as bad as Trump says it is.

New euphemism for "corrupt authoritarian abuses of power" just dropped

Where D.C. Crime Is Bad, Residents Question Trump’s Motives

look what happens when you actually speak to the people living in these neighborhoods instead of ventriloquizing them to make an ideological point: you get a good story www.nytimes.com/2025/08/16/u...

That’s over 1/4 of the population.

Yes. Please!

A sales tax hike isn’t the way to save Bay Area’s public transportation. Here’s what should be done OPINION: “There’s a better solution for funding transit that actually works for working people, not one that adds to their daily burden.”

A gross receipts tax, structured to be progressive, is not only more equitable but polls better: It's likelier to pass than a sales tax. The legislature should allow the flexibility to pursue a GRT for transit.

American gestapo.

reform for NYC’s deeply irrational property tax system is definitely overdue. And @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social appears to be on it!

Hmm, I wonder why Donald Trump just happened to list those specific cities, all of which actually do have declining crime.
