Times pushed ahead to avoid being scooped on Mamdani Columbia story The paper reported that the New York City Democratic mayoral nominee marked himself as both “Asian” and “Black or African American” on an admissions form.

Tbh I can be a little more cold-blooded on sourcing questions than most, but the core journalistic issue here is the NYT story heavily suggested in its opening paragraphs Mamdani was doing some sort of Dolezal situation, which was unsupported by its own reporting.

Can Democrats Find Their Way on Immigration? At a primary debate in 2019, eight candidates raised their hands in favor of decriminalizing illegal border crossings. The party remains haunted by that tableau.

The party is haunted by the New York Times, which eschews its role in shaping public opinion and has played a crucial role in enacting the right’s wedge on this issue.

About 100 transgender inmates are missing after their section of the prison was flattened, and the authorities say they are presumed dead, said Reza Shafakhah, a prominent human rights lawyer, who added that the government often treats being transgender as a crime. The chief prosecutor of the prison, Ali Ghanaatkar, despised by government critics for his handling of political prisoners, and one of his deputies also were killed. Editor 20 Wil Right

My god - Around *100* trans prisoners who were in Iran’s Evin prison are missing after the Israeli strike flattened their section of the prison. 100.

The current death toll is 79. The 100 trans people are presumed dead, which would more than double the death toll.

Alex scrolls on her phone of a graphic that says "Get off your phone." She says "mental health tik-tok is really sorting me out." She stares at another graphic that says "get off your phone" as the sun begins to set. At twilight, with visible stubble she views another one that says "get off your phone." Nightfall, another helpful tik-tok reminding her to get off her phone."

The point here isn't to beat up on Jordan Lasker. It's to ask how the NYT called a white supremacist hack an "academic" when his only academic work of note was so awful that its ethical and scientific awfulness was a national scandal. No one even Googled. No one fact-checked this story AT ALL. 5/

@drericding.bsky.social

this is close to identical to the brand of torture pioneered by Portuguese dictator Antonio Salazar's regime, which from the '50s on had a partnership with the CIA whereby they trained Salazar's secret police and Portugal's political prisons were used as a laboratory for torture.

Dachau in the 30's vs Florida's concentration camp.

Here's the proof: Republicans are only looking out for their millionaire and billionaire friends – and they're willing to gamble with your lives to pay them off.

They’ll set a criminal free just to put a non-criminal away for political reasons. This is how Russia does “justice” folks.

Today, senator Ron Wyden will raise a point of order to remove the Medicaid and CHIP ban on gender affirming care. The Republicans need 60 votes to keep it in but they only have 53. Call your Dem senator today and urge them to vote to strip the ban from the bill. Senate switchboard 202-224-3121.

Zohran and Attorney General Tish James marching together in NYC Pride.

A joy to march in NYC Pride with the people's champ Tish James 🏳️‍🌈

Not the New York Times calling most of Brooklyn and Queens the Commie Corridor.

screenshot of a Facebook post by Corey Robin, which says: "By the way, did you all notice how Zohran made affordability a central issue of his campaign without selling out trans kids or shitting on immigrants? Might be some lessons there. Just a thought."

he's right and he's right to say it

The word "poll" appears 27 times in Sarah McBride's interview with NYT.

That’s such a cool field of study!

I can’t get over the irony of this being a perplexly link

Shouldn’t the NY Times headline note that this new policy breaks the law?

Why not use this bridge just as a bridge, why must we light it up with a rainbow flag? Humans are meant to create, with no limits on what counts as a canvas

Phil Weiser, Colorado Attorney General, quote about SCOTUS decision not changing gender-affirming care access in Colorado, featuring the official seal of the Colorado Attorney General.

Colorado law continues to protect access to gender-affirming care and bans conversion therapy. Today’s Supreme Court ruling does not change that. Everyone deserves to live safely, authentically, and without fear. For AG @philweiser.bsky.social’s full statement - bit.ly/4n8rcLG

It is 1979 and the New York Times is attacking healthcare for trans people.

It is 2025 and the New York Times is attacking healthcare for trans people.

It is.....

It's a truly jarring split screen that Kristi Noem's goons attacking Sen Padilla happened at almost the exact same time as 16 Dem senators crossed lines to vote with the GOP to invoke cloture on the crypto bill, forfeiting any leverage.

Dems need to act like an opposition.

Evan’s story recounts in eye-opening detail how the nyt manipulated a trans family who approached them in good faith. First, the nyt utterly twisted their account to fit its political bias. Now, the nyt is using audio against the family’s wishes

The New York Times has been misleading readers about the state of youth gender medicine and the evidence behind it for years now. Tomorrow they're releasing a podcast on the topic and there's no reason to believe it will be any better than their previous work.

Azeen Ghorayshi built a career and a reputation on writing about sexual misconduct in astronomy and used that to pivot into destroying the lives of trans people at the NYT

Came here to highlight this, the homophobic murder of Jonathan Joss, a gay indigenous American in Texas. Reading through his husband’s account is heartbreaking. Please don’t let the US media tell you this was anything but a heinous hate crime.
(thank you @pleasantlytwstd.bsky.social for alerting me)

This is what transphobia does to a person. They become a hollowed out shell of a person.
