Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

and Times columnist Jamelle Bouie posted, “i think you should tell readers if your source is a nazi.” He then deleted the post. But later posted, “NYT & many of its elite white readers are still obsessed with race-conscious college admissions,” according to Semafor.

Scratch a Liberal and a Fascist bleeds. Again it shows that the white liberal way of dealing with ethnicity is performative at best and geared towards instrumentalization. When someone defies the box they want to put them in, the Racism comes out. We saw the same when liberals attacked ethnic minorities for not voting for Harris. The privileged were enraged that their subservients did not obey the implicit order.

But no one should buy the premise here, because it is so ugly. That premise is that people have fixed racial identities, and these categories are strict. The most disturbing line in the article is this righteous bit—“asked if any of his family had intermarried while in East Africa, he said in the interview on Thursday, ‘They’re all of Indian origin, from Gujarat.’”

Just a damn good point that race is not set in stone but dynamic. Haven't seen this point until now.

No, it's not "out of touch" with progressives or Palestine; it's actively hostile to them, and uses it's influence to fight them.

Honestly, liberals have spent the last decade worrying about misinformation and fake news, while giving a complete pass to some of the worst offenders, like the NYT.

The New York Times is complicit in genocide.

You shouldn't pick a news source based on the fact that it agrees with you.

You should pick it because it actually gives you information.
