A new editorial from a cisgender person at The New York Times has attacked the trans community, again. Read it here, but be warned that it is transphobic. 

            
                “.@NYTimes is excellent at conveying the anti-trans perspective. Thanks to The NY Times, I feel fairly up on it. But what about the perspective of people who are trans? It’s completely invisible to me from this newspaper. Is that intentional? Because it’s odd.”
            
            
        1670190124

            
                “Exactly this! As the Right is escalating its demonization of one of society’s most vulnerable groups, much of the mainstream elite punditry treats trans people like a sinister cabal with hegemonic influence in desperate need of critical scrutiny. Frankly, it’s disgusting.”
            
            
        1670193773

            
                “This suggests NYT writers and editorial staff are either completely ignorant of the conditions faced by the people they're covering or willingly complicit in erasing our experience and treating us like a danger to others. An utter lack of trans voices in the NYT suggests both.”
            
            
        1670180869

            
                “I see Pamela Paul is once again using her NYT platform to complain about trans people. "Whaah! Trans people reinforce stereotypes! Let's just reject their existence and celebrate tomboys instead."

What unoriginal nonsense. https://t.co/D6WsvWUR39”

Former Donald Trump aide Kellyanne Conway, now a cohost on Fox News Channel’s The Five, says those who hate Trump need someone to love them. “You need a hug or a husband or a hobby or a dog,” she said on the show’s Tuesday broadcast.

New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani clapped back at Elon Musk after he slandered his nominee for FDNY chief.

New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani isn't letting Elon Musk slander his nominee for chief of the Fire Department of New York as she makes history. 
Mamdani announced Tuesday at a press conference that he has appointed Lillian Bonsignore, a 56-year-old out lesbian and decorated first responder, to lead the FDNY once he is inaugurated on January 1. In response to the news, the billionaire and Tesla CEO took to social media over the weekend to attack Bonsignore, fallaciously claiming that "people will die because of this."

If you thought Project 2025 was bad, wait, there’s more: It’s continuing into 2026.
The Heritage Foundation, the far-right think tank that created Project 2025, has posted its priorities for 2026, and while it’s not calling this Project 2026, that’s basically what it is.

On Friday afternoon at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., the 2025 Walter Cronkite Awards for Excellence in Political Journalism unfolded less like a media victory lap than a reckoning. The journalists honored — Rachel Maddow, Jon Stewart, Scott Pelley, Peter Alexander, John Dickerson, Julio Vaqueiro, and a range of local and investigative reporters — gathered amid an unspoken understanding: The work being celebrated is also the work now under the greatest strain.
