This week, American Eagle, which brought us baby tees and low-rise denim in the aughts, debuted an advertisement campaign starring actor Sydney Sweeney. Sweeney, 27, is featured doing all sorts of Americana things in her American Eagle denim — like leaning over the hood of a white Mustang or lying on the floor holding a long-haired German shepherd puppy. At the end of each video, an off-screen voice speaks over blocky letters declaring that Sweeney — blonde, blue-eyed and white — “has great jeans.” The wordplay was made even more explicit when American Eagle posted a video of Sweeney standing...

Actual social media comments made by a sitting member of Cincinnati City Council …

The Irish government is reportedly set to reject demands from the European Union to implement hate speech legislation after Dublin abandoned plans to do so last year. In September of last year, the Irish government scrapped plans to criminalize so-called hate speech in its Criminal Justice Bill, which would have allowed the state to send someone to prison for up to five years for “incitement to hatred against persons on account of their protected characteristics”. The move to abandon the controversial section of the bill came as Justice Minister Helen McEntee admitted that it did “not have a consensus” among...

ESPN star Stephen A. Smith suggested on Wednesday that Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark was responsible for some of the resentment toward her in the WNBA. Smith and "First Take" panelists Monica McNutt and Christopher "Mad Dog" Russo broke down the skirmishes between Fever and Connecticut Sun players. Clark was on the receiving end of an eye poke from Sun guard Jacy Sheldon and was then bumped to the floor by Marina Mabrey. Clark and Sun players were talking trash throughout the game as tensions began to rise early and eventually boil over. Fever guard Sophie Cunningham also got into...

Co-hosts of ABC’s "The View" on Friday feuded over how the Democratic Party should change its game plan after losing male voters. After their decisive defeat in November, Democrats are still figuring out how they should change their strategy and move forward as a party. The New York Times recently published a report claiming that Democrats are spending $20 million on a study called "Speaking with American Men: A Strategic Plan." The study is a project to "study the syntax, language and content that gains attention and virality in these spaces" of male voters. Co-host Joy Behar scoffed at the...

He cannot 'guarantee' what will happen in the future, the EFF leader said in a recent interview Julius Malema says he has not called for the murder of white people, "at least for now." In an interview with TRT World, published on Monday, Malema said he could not guarantee what would happen in the future, and warned that a revolution would happen if things continued as they are now. "I'm saying to you, we've not called for the killing of white people, at least for now. I can't guarantee the future." Asked by the presenter if he understood that to...

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, said Democrats were eyeing the "safest White boy" in the 2028 presidential race, hinting at "one specific candidate" being floated by the party's donors, during a podcast conversation this week. "It is this fear that the people within the party, within the primary system, will have about voting for a woman because every time we voted for a woman, we’ve lost, so far," she said in a clip posted to Instagram. "And I think that that’s a natural fear because we just want to win." SiriusXM host Clay Cane posted the clip to Instagram on Friday,...

A black DJ and TikTok influencer with over a million followers has threatened to stab white people in the heart like Karmelo Anthony did to Austin Metcalf. The shocking threat was posted by Patrick Jeanty Jr., who uses the TikTok handle “KingJeanty1989.” In a viral video responding to the murder, Jeanty asserted he will also kill white people who “bully,” “harass,” or “approach” him.

Daniel Wakin, the New York Times Deputy International Editor of Opinion, had an "Opinion Today" item in the paper's April 14th edition promoting a guest essay on the Op-Ed page entitled, "The U.S. Must Now Reckon With a Hegemon in the Mideast: Israel." The beginning of Wakin's item [emphasis added] reads: "Ancient Rome in the Mediterranean. The Soviet Union in Eastern Europe. The United States in the Western Hemisphere, for that matter. History is rife with nations and empires seeking to become dominant in a region or larger swath of the world. It is called hegemony. Aaron David Miller and...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s latest public blunder — inviting right wing troll Charlie Kirk to be the first guest on his new podcast — is merely the latest pairing of two mediocre white men who think their conversations are interesting enough to be recorded.

Washington Post columnist Karen Attiah said Monday that she has no regrets about retweeting a post supporting Hamas's October 7, 2023, terrorist attack on Israel and blamed racism for the backlash to her pro-Hamas sympathies."I make no apologies for standing on the side of Palestinian liberation, at all," Attiah said after a woman confronted her over the pro-Hamas post at a book signing, according to footage recorded by Algemeiner's Corey Walker.The post, which Attiah retweeted soon after it was posted on the day of Hamas's massacre, read, "What did y'all think decolonization meant? vibes? papers? essays? losers."Attiah said at the...

MSNBC is pulling the plug on Joy Reid’s show, “The ReidOut,” as part of a major shakeup, Fox News Digital has learned—and I can’t stop laughing. Honestly, there’s no one more deserving of cancellation. Well, maybe Rachel Maddow… and pretty much everyone else at MSNBC. According to the report, “The ReidOut” has been struggling to hold viewers, averaging just 973,000 in February 2025—a sharp 28% drop from the 1.3 million it pulled in during the same month last year. Reid has become notorious for her relentless anti-Trump rhetoric and a string of controversial moments. After the November election, Reid claimed...

The University of California San Francisco School of Medicine is hosting a continuing education course for doctors run by a left-wing activist who said that “white people are psychopaths” because of their “evolutionary history.”

U. Iowa Paid MSNBC Host Joy Reid $55K to Speak on Campus “An Afternoon with Joy Reid” .. I think I can speak for everyone when I ask… Why? ... A contract signed by Reid and the University of Iowa outlines the financial terms of the agreement which includes the flat rate fee of $55,000, as well as deems the university liable for various other non-essential accommodations. “In addition the Fee, [the University of Iowa] shall provide ground transportation via University Car Service and pay for first-class hotel accommodations, meals, and incidentals for Speaker and one other person.” Reid is...

Coming off an outstanding rookie season in the WNBA, Caitin Clark has been named "Athlete of the Year" by TIME. Washington Mystics co-owner Sheila Johnson took exception to that decision, saying it's unfair to give Clark all the credit for the WNBA's rise in popularity. In an interview with CNN, Johnson said that all the focus on Clark has taken the spotlight away from other elite players across the league. "We have so much talent out there that has been unrecognized, and I don't think we can just pin it on one player," Johnson said. When asked why Clark was...

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres encouraged world governments on Tuesday to “rein in hate speech and disinformation spreading online” through a global censorship framework. Guterres suggested that “unchecked digital platforms” were amplifying the “worst impulses of humanity” and threatening global stability and peace, requiring world governments to buy into U.N. programs such as the “Global Digital Compact” to silence speech the world body considers threatening. He made his remarks on the same day that the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) declared global intervention to “educate” online social influencers in how to avoid “misinformation” was an “urgent” priority. UNESCO...

In the world of science fiction, this culture war has been evident in online forums, publications, and awards campaigning. The fight is for ownership of the genre. In the mid-2010s, the Hugo awards served as the primary battlefield for this front of the culture war. A group of right-wing science fiction fans and creators calling themselves the Sad Puppies formed a voting bloc to advocate the return to the genre’s supposed roots: pulpy outer-space hero stories. The Sad Puppies’ campaign was a populist one: they argued that elites, disparagingly referred to as “literati,” were pushing a political agenda and were...
