The other reporter on my team covering race was also laid off as well as the editor in charge of race coverage across national. The team covering America beyond DC is now 90% white.

The Times was denounced by its own writers as well as pundits because it reported news that was deemed harmful to the Democrats, specifically Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani. It was a catastrophically triggering event for many on the left...

Y’all have made me come back to X just to make clear that those sharing this screenshot and pretending it’s about Mamdani are either intentionally engaging in misinformation or are inexcusably gullible. I haven’t worn my hair like this in three years. This tweet is five years
