“I think one of the reasons why people are not trusting the party is because we sound so academic,” ... “We sound focus group tested, we sound poll tested because we’re worried about saying the wrong thing or doing the wrong thing and not just like, just stand on business, like take a position.”

Democrats disagree over abolishing or reforming ICE at DNC meeting
Democrats have approved dueling messages on immigration enforcement, disagreeing on whether U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement should be abolished or reformed.

They see compassion for Black people as “deification” because they are ghouls. If they are incapable or unwilling to humanize Black subjects (especially when deciding what coverage to give a story at all) they shouldn’t be working in writing or journalism in any capacity.
BREAKING: the Democratic National Committee just unanimously approved a resolution calling for the abolition of ICE! After terrorizing our friends, families, and neighbors, ICE has no place in our nation. I'm grateful @democrats.org agreed. Now we're onto the hard work to make that happen!

My heart has been with Black British academics all day. It's my friend's story to tell, but one of the most horrific stories I know about a Black doctorate's journey was over in the UK. The United States is its own "rough beast." But they, they're dealing with the beast's mother. My God.
When a Black person fails it satisfies the societal preconceived notion that allowing Blackfolk to exist in shared space at all is an act of charity they should have been too grateful for to exhibit poor judgment or make mistakes in the first place. It justifies your collective beliefs about us all.
The only conversation worth having is how Black people are overpoliced & over-punished & held to different standards in all aspects of life. That there is an outrage when Black people transgress that isn’t there when their non-Black counterparts do.
I’m not trying to hear about plagiarism from people who can’t get anything done without AI. You’re disqualified on this one. That plagiarism is bad is supposed to be a settled social belief. AI use muddies the whole thing.

This is, bar none, the stupidest fuckung thing I’ve ever heard. And the idea that there’s nobody in the chain of command - civilian or military - with enough courage to say so is a disgrace.
Navy weighs major warship redesign to match Trump’s preferences
The president wants the new fleet of aircraft carriers to more resemble those from World War II. Such a change could cost billions.

I don’t know why this is not a banner headline. The Iranians do not fear or respect Trump. They believe he is a paper tiger who can be ignored without consequence.
The Editorial Board@editorialboard.bsky.social · 2d ago6. In a PBS interview, an adviser to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was asked if the plan is to drag out the war and wait until Trump is gone. Yes, Mohammad Reza Naqdi said.

NEW, from the NYT: "The U.S. attorney’s office in Chicago has spent the past year investigating a Democratic fund-raising firm once co-owned by the daughter of the judge in Trump’s hush-money trial in New York."
Prosecutors Examined Firm With Tie to Judge in Trump Hush Money Trial (Gift Article)
The U.S. attorney in Chicago subpoenaed a fund-raising firm that had been co-owned by the daughter of Judge Juan Merchan, who conducted the trial that led to Donald Trump’s felony conviction.
nytimes.com
Today the NYTimes published a story about prosecutors pursuing a criminal investigation against a judge's daughter as possible retaliation for that judge presiding over Trump's criminal trial. It had a single byline. The article on race and hiring at Cambridge, a UK university, had 5.
LOL, white people writing articles about how we need to examine minority hiring when THEY ELECTED A RACIST PEDOPHILE WITH NO QUALIFICATIONS TO RUN A COUNTRY BECAUSE HE SAID HE'S GOING TO HURT BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE. TWICE. Get the fuck outta my face with that bullshit.
I’m at my egbe’s baby shower and all of her friends have kids already and they have this adorable little kids table. They still wearing barrettes 🥺
They want a RIGGED system. The "meritocracy" talk is rubbish.
All this shit so we don't point out that WM are in charge and everything is fucked up. They have two modes: either be artificially propped up by a system, or destroy it.
It's what all the "finally we can say what we want to say" was all about. They are angry that they can't come out and say "I am a WM and therefore *everyone should treat me* as if I'm inherently superior regardless of what I actually know and do."
That is exactly what all that unspoken but still palpable anger is about. All that contempt seething underneath whatever dog whistles they're using. Their anger directed at ppl who haven't *really* done anything to them.
mtsw@mtsw.bsky.social · 10h agomany "centrists" agree with Cofnas and when they complain about "wokeness" and "political correctness" they often mean that they are not allowed to express this stupid idea — that black people in smart-guy jobs shouldn't be there and should be like, sprinters and jazz musicians instead — explicitly

So charge him with accessory to murder since he wants to claim responsibility
Gregory Kohn@kohngregory.bsky.social · yesterdayIn the wake of Arday's death, Nathan Cofnas (who led the X mob against him) states his motivation. Beyond whistleblowing, he states that after a 'revolution' removes professors like Arday, it will open opportunities for him to become 'head of the department of eugenics and race science at Harvard'.
I’m not saying Norman’s call for a coup should've been mentioned in all of NYT’s last 92 stories that cited him. But not once? Even in a recent “5 Things” story about Norman, NYT ignored the traitorous text while saying he “has been a real estate developer for 4 decades.” That's normalization. 7/7🧵
5 Things to Know About Ralph Norman, Republican Senate Candidate in South Carolina (Gift Article)
The longtime lawmaker, a member of an ultraconservative group of House members, came in third place in the Republican primary for governor this year.
nytimes.com
The NY Times’ first mention of Ralph Norman’s call for a military-backed coup was on Dec. 14, 2022, in a roundup of late-night comedians’ quips, noting that Jimmy Kimmel had joked about the text. NYT also mentioned it in the 7th paragraph of a Jan. 3, 2023, story about House GOP politics. 4/7🧵
Stephen Colbert Doesn’t Want to Editorialize, but He Will (Published 2022)
Colbert was shocked by a report that 34 lawmakers texted Mark Meadows about subverting the 2020 election. “That is unbelievable — 34 people wanted to talk to Mark Meadows!” he said.
nytimes.com
Norman’s text to Meadows wasn’t revealed until late 2022, and the New York Times’ coverage of it has been pitiful, perhaps because the story was first reported outside of mainstream media, by Talking Points Memo (@talkingpointsmemo.com ) 3/7🧵

Three days before Joe Biden was to be sworn in as president in 2021, Ralph Norman texted Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows: “Our LAST HOPE is invoking Marshall Law!! PLEASE URGE TO PRESIDENT TO DO SO!!” Norman didn’t know how to spell “martial law,” but he was urging a military-backed coup. 2/7🧵

Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social · 2d agoRep. Ralph Norman, who’s in a Senate runoff with Lindsey Graham’s sister Darline, secretly urged a military-backed coup in 2021 to keep Trump in power. But the NY Times thinks it’s no big deal. In its last 92 stories mentioning Norman over 3 years and 7 months, it hasn’t stated that fact once. 1/7🧵
