Important update: I have received word from insiders that Crunchyroll executives have deemed the user backlash to be small enough that their subtitle enshittification & OOONA plans will NOT be cancelled, only delayed.

I have added an update to the article. There's a summary at the top now too.

How right-wing superstar Riley Gaines built an anti-trans empire The swimmer tied a trans woman for fifth. The MAGA industrial complex took care of the rest.

Riley Gaines is a leading face of the anti-trans movement, appearing at Trump’s signing of an executive order to ban trans girls from girls’ school sports.

But her teammate remembers a different Gaines, who expressly did not support Trump.
What happened?

If the roles were reversed, outraged pro-Israel pundits would be spewing so much spittle as to be meteorologically significant.

Sarah Hurwitz Profanes the Holocaust Holocaust education has worked too well for the Obama speechwriter, since when she rationalizes Israel's genocide, "I sound obscene." Maybe sit with that, Sarah

I felt like I was losing my mind watching this person's remarks and had to write about how disgusting they are.

A handful of strategically placed hot socialists could destroy MAGA from within.

An American elected official with courage enough to say this in the Oval Office is quietly the biggest news out of the meeting

Israeli press is irate that Trump didn't push back on Mamdani saying the US funds genocide against Palestinians

Lawmakers are considering a $375,000 amendment to an existing contract with Evident Change that would bring the total authorized amount above $4.2 million, according to legislative documents. The money would pay for additions to Evident Change's scope of work and performance indicators. The work in question includes screening calls to the state Child Abuse Hotline, calibrating the hotline's structured decision-making tool and coaching child abuse investigators, Wright said in response to questions from Rep. Ryan Rose, R- Van Buren.

West Virginia contracted with Evident Change last year to utilize the structured decision-making tool for its own child welfare system. Rose asked Wright if she was aware that Evident Change "publicly posted articles and argued that in Texas, gender transition surgeries, hormone therapies, et cetera for minors should not be treated or investigated as child abuse."

Clifford “Buzz” Grambo patrols the streets of Baltimore to keep his neighbors safe. His goal is straightforward: He wants to make ICE agents uncomfortable.

“I want their morale as low as possible,” he said, “because a team with low morale is ineffective.”

MTG has been in Congress since 2020 & is resigning Jan 5, 2026. I just want to point out one thing.

She spent 5 years attacking the left & never feared for her life.

She spent 5 weeks mildly critiquing MAGA & the backlash is so severe she is resigning.

5 years vs 5 weeks. That says it all.

How embarrassing for Chuck Schumer, Kirstin Gillibrand, Cory Booker, & NY Reps Grace Meng, Dan Goldman, Ritchie Torres, Greg Meeks, Tom Suozzi, & Laura Gillen, that even Donald Trump endorsed Zohran Mamdani before they did.😐

Corporate Democrats just love snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

To fix a problem that doesn't exist, British businesses now have to decide between getting sued by a local bigot funded by JK Rowling, or getting sued by a trans or GNC person and possibly ending up in front of the European Court of Human Rights. They must really love the Labour goverment right now.
