When miscarriages become crimes 412 women faced criminal charges for pregnancy outcomes. This is what fetal personhood looks like.

Paramount Formally Hires Bari Weiss To Turn Whatโ€™s Left Of CBS News Into A Soggy Right Wing Propaganda And Troll Farm Itโ€™s super curious how the folks most vocal about being cancelled or having their โ€œConservative viewpoints silencedโ€ now own or control most major U.S. media companies. Almost as โ€ฆ

and โ€œa โ€œrelentless commitment to amplifying voices from all corners of the spectrumโ€ at the dying media giant, concepts Weiss historically knows nothing about"

Yes that's the reason. To flex on blue cities, often those run by Blacks, too. (Chicago, Memphis, probably others)

By the way, Bari Weiss says she's a centrist but nah. It's a ploy.

"CBS' new corporate owner, Skydance Media, is also acquiring The Free Press, Weiss' views-and-news site."

Skydance is owned by Larry Ellison's son.

Bari's media company was ... a Substack newsletter.

I'm not quite sure what you are saying in the context of my post. You must be saying that these peoples' delays to their marriages is important, but not sure how this "strikes at the core of" bit fits in. Are you saying this is intentional by the administration? Or that their actions have backfired?

Have you heard? Your President is assassinating people on the high seas and sent people to die in jail in El Salvador.

But sure, wedding planning is important too.

The Story About a Worm Eating RFK Jr.โ€™s Brain Is Not As Funny As It Sounds We can laugh; we must. But thereโ€™s some dark context here.

RFK Jr's story of having a brainworm was his way of avoiding paying his ex-wife support. She later committed suicide.

He argued that the brainworm had impacted his ability to work and earn.

Of course in 2024 he said he's fine with no after effects from the worm. Surprise

Russ Vought is Trumpโ€™s shutdown hero. His neighbors think his work is "abhorrent." The people living near Trump's "grim reaper" of government cuts have put up signs letting him know they stand with federal workers.

โ€œHe takes food and health care from the neediest and tries to, in his words, traumatize peopleโ€”then he calls himself a Christian,โ€ a neighbor told Mother Jones. โ€œPretty despicable.โ€

Ah, the Paramount deal sells everything to Larry Ellison's son.

"Fraenkelโ€™s work has seen a resurgence of interest in the United States in recent months because it provides a framework for a phenomenon we are increasingly experiencing under the second Trump administration: How a dictator can exercise unfettered power while life appears ordinary for most people.

The media is already right-leaning and they buy more of it. They just whine and cry when their racist statements are called out but they already own the media. This is just extending that ownership.
