- In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Across the world, we’ve seen democracy in retreat,” writes A.G. Sulzberger, the publisher of The New York Times. “This anti-press playbook is now being used here in this country — and it could not come at a more difficult time for the American press.”

This review was cited over 100 times by the HHS report. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.
- Reposted by Jesseven if we accept "a lot of the left holds a true belief because of groupthink rather than careful examination of the evidence" for the sake of argument, "the left should be more open to demonstrably false belief" is not a correct counterbalance!

You can't make this up. ICE left a 12-year-old completely abandoned on the street after abducting the adult he was with. www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/... - Reposted by JessSee, there's a big dial that candidates can turn from "left" to "moderate," and when they do so they will be richly rewarded by the 0.00001% of voters, all in blue states, who are professional centrist pundits. Actual swing voters will shrug at the loser energy then vote to make their lives worse.
- my kingdom for anyone on the “dems should take culturally moderate positions” to explain what this actually means in practice? www.thebulwark.com/p/hard-calls...

- Reposted by JessThe reason people constantly suggest that Dems "adopt moderate social positions" (which... end up not being "moderate" at all) is because they think that Dems won't lose votes by moving to the right. They are wrong in thinking this.
- Reposted by Jessit’s wild how the democratic party is not going to change and will continue embracing the tired centrists after a decade of losing power on all levels

- Reposted by JessAnd who wrote this? "Editorial Board" - too cowardly to put their names to it, either. In my 13 years of open transgender life in the US - in press, on CNN, testifying at my friend's court martial - I have never failed to put my name on everything I stand for.
- WashPo [10 May 25] -- Shocking endorsement by WashPo Editorial Board of 400-page anti-trans HHS attack on pediatric care: "careful and thorough... makes a legitimate case...clear and careful language... greater emphasis on psychotherapy in treating gender dysphoric youth." @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

- This may be the vilest editorial ever written by the Washington Post editorial board. Anyone associated with that board should hang their head in shame. The report in question was a crock. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

- Reposted by JessA swath of media acts like the biggest victims of COVID were people who speculated that it leaked from a lab and received replies on social media like “no evidence, conspiracy theorist, stop it” instead of “I doubt it, the epidemiological evidence indicates otherwise, but can’t totally rule it out.”
- Reposted by JessIt's hard to see this as anything other than a Washington Post columnist willingly laundering the Trump administration's conspiratorial talking points into the mainstream with no evidence. www.technologyreview.com/2022/02/09/1...
- Reposted by JessGood thing the Washington Post has already completely torched its credibility. It's a right wing rag running cover for this administration. No one is otherwise taking this seriously.
