This is some of the worst journalism I can ever recall seeing in a high profile format

Christian Zionism is blatantly antisemitism. There is no excuse for Jews legitimizing it
Will never understand the obsession of journalists to ask far-right figures why they aren’t more polite with their bigotry, as if the issue is tonality instead of rhetoric.

The dignity harm of abortion bans can be hard for people to see, in part because in a sexist culture, we’re not always used to thinking of women as dignified. But the degradation of abortion bans isn’t a mere embarrassment or inconvenience; it’s an erosion of women’s citizenship.

nothing makes my blood boil like seeing local corporate media erase the Black and indigenous leaders of the movement to stop Cop City. it is so incredibly demeaning and insulting and straight out of the southern segregationist playbook. DON'T BE FOOLED BY IT.

It is so infuriating to watch the country's biggest paper bow to the rich and powerful while they ignore legitimate and earned criticism

My Super Bowl observation is that this year we literally thought a player died in front of us and yet somehow allowed the NFL/media to transform that reality into a triumphalist celebration instead of an indictment of the inherent harm produced by this morally indefensible sport.
The level of secrecy Army’s athletic department operated under while I was covering the team never seemed to be in the best interest of the student-athletes.
NEWS 🧵: I've filed a federal lawsuit against @WestPoint_USMA over its (and the other service academies') policy of denying FOIA requests related to Army's athletic department.
I explain more in @Sportico today:

I’m done with Tony Dungy and the way the NFL and NBC coddle his right wing extremism. So I wrote about it. thenation.com/article/societ…
It makes me sick to my stomach to read this story and realize how nearly every prominent NFL media figure decided that serious, deeply reported allegations of serial sexual assault and harassment were less important than a football game.
When Deshaun Watson’s suspension ended, the N.F.L.’s broadcast partners focused mainly on his return to the field, not on the behavior a hearing officer had deemed “predatory,” or on the women who accused him: nytimes.com/2022/12/07/sport…

Hope it's stated plainly whenever and wherever possible that the Republican Party's red line is not antisemitism; it's Republican antisemites confidently cheering Hitler with statements like "I looove Hitler" that betray the GOP's more furtive and pervasive antisemitism

Reminder: Antisemitism, white supremacy, racism and Holocaust denial are not symptoms of mental illness.
