Arrived? Was the journalist in a coma since 9/11? Just slept through Snowden? Ignored all the police brutality protests?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

The same journalist wrote a piece last summer titled “The seeds of this political disaster were sown decades ago”. I can’t read it due to the paywall, but judging from the title, they may not have been completely complacent.
NYTrash: [Endlessly promotes fascism, genocide, imperialism, etc.]
...
NYTrash: We have fascism now.
Crazy how they lost a century of reputation in just a few years. Now they're a rag listed with the post.
Welcome to the 21st century NYT dipshits!
Protect your neighbours. Organize people, ORGANIZE
Glad to hear the mainstream outlets are finally saying it.
After decades of supporting and enabling it...
I have to focus on the positives when I can or I’m going to lose it. A lot of leftists have been talking about this for years but we aren’t numerous enough to stop it alone. The NYT can reach a lot of people we can’t, and maybe start to raise their level of consciousness.
We just need more police reform right?
Hey liberals who joined in against the chorus of condescension in response to Black Lives Matter and Defund The Police, how are you feeling right now?
Do you regret gleefully helping dig your graves while laughing at us with your republican friends who definitely won't betray you?
Nah we had the chance to fight and liberals already happily helped crushed that opportunity, fascism and police state is what we get.
If you ever said "we just need better training and more funding for police", this is what you ordered and specifically I want to tell you, fuck you for throwing away my countries last remaining civil liberties to the wolves and then daring to lecture leftists about it.
I understand your feelings and I fight the urge to post something on every palastinian article. Still blows my mind that no one seemed to see how much was accomplished under biden in a very overall adversarial one term. All the same the leopards are eating everyones face, not just theirs.
Still blows my mind that no one seemed to see how [infuriating bullshit omitted]
Tell it to Tyre Nichols family
It's been here...
For decades.
It's good people are realizing it, but it sucks how many act like trump and assume since it took themselves this long to realize it, no one else has.
Just republican tier low empathy where they can't understand others know something they don't.
All they're doing is telling on themselves it took till this point till they realized it.
It was here long time ago , it just took of the mask of civility
