We recommend avoiding general and often dehumanizing "the" labels such as the poor, the mentally ill, the French, the disabled, the college-educated. Instead, use wording such as people with mental illnesses. And use these descriptions only when clearly relevant.

The use of "the French" in this tweet by @AP was inappropriate and has caused unintended offense. An updated tweet is upcoming.

Hard-right is still a meaningless term, but this is still better than the BBC labeling him an academic.

Sharron Davies ranting against 15 minute cities, because of course she is.
Suzanne Moore in the Telegraph saying she wants to... kill all dogs??
Julie Burchill asking "does it matter if Grok undresses us all?" in The Spectator
Graham Linehan in the midst of his now four-day-long double down on Alex Pretti's murder being justified and fine.
Calling transphobia a 'gateway drug' to the far right undersells it. It's pure accelerant. Grimly fascinating to guess what crankery becomes any famous transphobe's secondary obsession, cos they all have one: 15 minute cities are fascism! Grok noncing is cool! ICE are good! We should kill all dogs!

Getting fired by Trump 2 is crazy. In Trump 1 we were getting people fired every other week for like mildly embarrassing him. In Trump 2 youβve got official government accounts tweeting out βIβm da Nazi pedo baybee πβ and nobody gets canned. Bovino really fucked it crazy style

None of these Republicans and most of these Democrats are not all of a sudden βseeing the light on ICE.β They simply understand the worm turning on public opinion and saving face. They will ALL go back to voting for minority brutalization as soon as they can. You canβt keep falling for this.
