LOL you're so lazy you didn't even check that there was already a racist organization called FAIR
They tacked on Andrew Sullivan after taking that screenshot I guess Image
Check out our new group, Voices Directed Against Racism Everywhere
It really is phenomenal trollcraft to put Megyn Kelly on a group purporting to fight racism—the move from “liberals are the real racists” to “I’m the real antiracist” isn’t a pivot so much as picking up the ball and taking 10 steps toward the other basket

Undercover officer frantically waving his badge in a shootout
Maybe Michael Powell could have avoided the confusion by describing his beat as "exposing left-wing excess" rather than "Free Speech & Intellectual Debate"
Anyway right-wingers interested in decoding what Michael Powell was or wasn't trying to do with the story should look at who among the central characters get to have their class status considered throughout the piece and who gets their class set aside in favor of their race

Genuinely bleak that Tucker Carlson, whose mother abandoned him and his family as a child because she wasn’t into it, is choosing this particular angle for his Two Minutes Hate
Look we all know what’s really going on here with this decrepit powerful man and his cynical, loveless family relations, says Rupert Murdoch’s prime-time TV host
Incredibly, taken on its own terms, Tucker's argument here is that longtime spouses could not be genuinely loving and tender with one another if one of them were in mental decline

Facebook's new, sophisticated appeals system for content-removal decisions is telling people in Myanmar which ways of dehumanizing Muslims are acceptable, which should be helpful in the next round of Facebook-facilitated genocide there oversightboard.com/decision/FB-I2…
Don't see any genocidal red flags here, just a healthy Facebook user discussion about how the death of a toddler of a particular religious identity probably made the world a better place
Puttin' the "oversight" in "Oversight Board"

Can't think of anything bad that happened to a Washington Post journalist in the past four years, certainly not like getting chopped to pieces on the orders of a dictator intimately allied with the president and his family
