  • Reuters, AP, NPR and all the other formerly credible news outlets went right starting last year and have continued to sanewash and mischaracterize trump’s actions. These news outlets aren’t grasping the harm they’re doing. I thought doing shit like cancelling my NPR membership might prove a point to them that now is not the time to buckle—we need truthful news. They’re too busy worried about engagement and their own careers to do the right thing. Journalism is dead, died this year officially. Fuck fascism—fuck orange hitler trump—fuck every single person who has ever voted for him.





  • Misleading title. The issue was that, in discrimination cases, lower courts started making majority groups (white people, straight people) provide extra evidence of discrimination than is usually required in order to win an employment discrimination case. All this decision did is clarified that, for discrimination cases, majority groups don’t need to provide extra evidence of discrimination—there isn’t a higher bar for majority groups. The ‘burden’ of evidence of discrimination is the same regardless of which group is claiming discrimination. The Supreme Court, in making this decision, didn’t decide any facts, they just instructed the lower court to look at the case again with this clarification in mind. The lower courts might still find she wasn’t subject to discrimination.



  • Not arguing against the substance of the article, but I can’t help but wonder if this is the best way to address this issue. Measles was eradicated from the US but is now back and has claimed lives purely due to vaccine skepticism. I just worry that yet another article criticizing the FDA for pushing drugs that aren’t safe/effective will do more harm than good at this point. Idk, I just sincerely question if now is the time to give americans more reasons not to trust medical professionals. (Again, not arguing with the substance of the article—very disappointing and disturbing that FDA is doing this—but just concerned about the time, manner, and place of this criticism.)
