That was Pamela Paul. She was brought on as they left Jennifer Finney Boylan go. They replaced the most visible trans voice with one completely hostile to trans rights.

It wasn't just framing. It was who got to speak. As coverage turned, trans voices in the stories dropped sharply while opponents of trans rights rose. By 2026, opponents were quoted more often than trans people themselves. Trans people were spoken about, not to.

In January 2015, the New York Times' only trans columnist wrote about the suicide of a trans teen, Leelah Alcorn, whose last words were "Fix society. Please." By 2022 the Times had let that columnist go and begun treating trans existence as a debate. So I measured the shift.

Unpatriotic? I can’t think of anything more unpatriotic than a sitting president trying to subvert the Constitution and attempting to destroy the rule of law.

Google's place in the platform world has always been its emphasis on the open internet. Search is definitionally that. Their approach to the ad business the same. Took me a while to get that their approach to incorporating AI in search has been a decisive move away from open Int towrd walled garden.

Soooo, is the current “administration” trying to re-enact part of the story line from White House Down? Remember Jimmy Woods asserting that “Iran is the LAST war.” ? Does Hegseth think he’s Jimmy Woods? Is JD Vance Richard Jenkins?

This is a new low in the use of the shadow docket. The Court blocked a lower court ruling on the so called "interim docket" (as conservatives call it). Then, quietly issued a final judgement without allowing us to even brief the merits appeal. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Shots fired, the Secret Service rushes in, and they let Trump continue to sit there? And now they’re going to resume the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, and Trump still plans to deliver a speech? I’m not saying this was staged to boost Trump’s tanking approval numbers, but it looks odd.

Just hours after Warner Bros shareholders approved Paramount's takeover, Trump was the guest of honor at David Ellison's pre-Correspondents Dinner event. Trump must also approve the deal. The irony of honoring someone who attacks the media would be rich — if the whole situation weren't so corrupt.

Journalists who are still attending the WHCD this year don't seem to get just how much things have changed. It isn't 1998. You're not going to pose for cute photos with the West Wing stars at "nerd prom." You're enabling a regime who's assaulting your own profession & you're torching your career.
