Jesus fuck why are we reposting the NYT at this point?
The sane washing/ pretending they are doing anything legitimate needs to stop.
Sir, this is the NYT gift articles community
Yeah fuck the nyt but its easy to block this community so i dont see the issue.
this article is sanewashing?
The headline is. The items they’re decrying as corruption are generally not; they just happened to include a keyword that the Musk and his captive hate group doesn’t like.
I am having trouble parsing what you mean
Basically: Musk and others are doing searches to look for words like “women” or “climate” in federal grants, and if they see them, they declare it to be “fraud” and freeze funding that’s already been signed off on.
This is like asking the mafia to do something about the mafia
They’re not hunting corruption. They’re targeting things they don’t like and calling it fraud. Stop letting them frame their crimes as legitimate
