This is just false. Trump hasn’t tempered his language one bit. Here’s a snippet of CSPAN’s closed captioning from his speech in NC on Saturday—less than 48h ago.

much as I understand the instinct to instinctively dunk on the NYT's Southern coverage, this is an attentive feature on an attentive book by a Southern photojournalist on the food that local (not corporate) gas stations make and sell. Kate is the best in the biz : )

I used to ride Greyhound all the time, and what they put low income people through at these terminals is unbelievable. One of the worst companies in America.
Greyhound bus terminals are rapidly closing around the U.S as the company sells its valuable terminals to investors like hedge fund Alden Global Capital.
60 million people depend on intercity buses, primarily minorities and people with disabilities

Our concerns about UVA interfering with the city’s efforts to address its affordable housing crisis continue to escalate. Now a member of the Board of Visitors is suggesting the city’s efforts are in opposition to UVA & spreading inaccurate information.🧵

this is now the third time i’ve come across the claim that “free palestine” is a threatening statement. not “from the river to the sea” not “globalize the intifada” just “free palestine.” giving the game away

Height is OK.
Charlottesville is land-constrained and needs housing, people are ready for apartment complexes.
Size and design and grace are independent factors. Limited size and setbacks do not make beautiful architecture, freedom to design does.

"His designs are profoundly unpatriotic. They are the sadistic fantasies of a petty tyrant who genuinely believes that people who oppose him are vermin and need to be rooted out."

The playbook they ran on abortion is being used on trans people's health care now and will come for your birth control next. It's extraordinarily easy to imagine how the same media game being played with puberty blockers or HRT will be done to contraception.
The president of the most powerful conservative legal group in the country says banning birth control is at the top of his wishlist:
“We are on a winning trajectory...It may be that the day will come when people say the birth-control pill was a mistake.”
