We’re pretty sure New York Times reporter Maggie Astor is on strike today, as it was her tweet we featured Wednesday night in her plea that people join the “digital picket line” and not visit any New York Times sites Thursday.
Christina Pushaw was given until the end of the day Thursday to provide comment on a hit piece mentioning her written by Astor, who’s supposedly among those who walked out.
Astor is writing a piece on increasing violence and threats of violence against trans people, and wondered if Pushaw had any comment, since she was using one of her tweets as an example of “the type of rhetoric that extremism experts told me can increase the likelihood of violence against trans people.”
Christina Pushaw (@ChristinaPushaw) ~ This is one of the New York Times activists going “on strike” tomorrow. Do you think anyone will notice?
Christina Pushaw (@ChristinaPushaw) ~ Also, it’s hilarious to me that @MaggieAstor isn’t working tomorrow due to the New York Times strike, but she still gave me a deadline to respond to her tomorrow. 😂
It's Only Words (@itsonlywords) ~ {Replying to @ChristinaPushaw and @MaggieAstor} I'd be interested in seeing that dangerous tweet.
Christina Pushaw (@ChristinaPushaw) ~ {Replying to @itsonlywords and @MaggieAstor} It’s from March, I called the parental rights bill the anti-grooming bill. Didn’t say anything about any specific group of people, so it’s odd that the New York Times would assume “grooming” is specific to a certain group?
The “groomer” tag really stung, and after some spin, libs and the media decided that it was a homophobic slur in order to keep conservatives from using it against them.
Blame Big Government (@BlameBigGovt) ~ "extremism experts" 🤔
Solvang (@Solvang84) ~ “Extremism expert,” yet another made-up professional title used to push for mass censorship.
Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) ~ This demented media meltdown has dragged into the light one of the newest media scams: they invent fake credentials ("disinformation researcher," "online safety expert") and then bestow them on their friends to masquerade their politicized agenda as scientific and data-driven.

Yep, “experts say ...”
Kyle Smith (@rkylesmith) ~ C’mon “extremism experts” know all.
Noah Pollak (@NoahPollak) ~ Seriously. She mentioned Extremism Experts, that is a case closed kind of situation.
Matt Smith (@MattSmithCFB) ~ “Extremism experts told me.”
We’re looking forward to the piece so we can see who the “extremism expert” is the Times chose to consult on the issue.
#CMFL (@seeemmeffell) ~ This is a lot of words saying nothing.
Christina Pushaw (@ChristinaPushaw) ~ It’s a lot of words for @MaggieAstor to baselessly accuse me of conspiring to commit a violent crime. We need to reform defamation laws in this country.
Salty_Davie504 (@FagerBjorn) ~ Sounds like Maggie's the one equating trans people with groomers to me ...
Caleb Close (@CalebClose5) ~ Hi! We are basically accusing you of domestic terrorism! You have until tomorrow to comment. Thank you! 🤡
Disaffected Scientist (@DisaffectedSci) ~ eXpErTs sAy
"Experts say" has become meaningless drivel. Everyone understands it means "propagandists we're quoting to push our agenda."
Vidmantas Murauskas (@VMurauskas) ~ I was looking for average salary of an extremism expert but couldn’t find. Anyone know how much these extremism experts make? I think I can call things extreme for a living too.
Yes, I am an "Extremism Expert," myself. For instance, these are EXTREME ...
You can take my word for it ... I'm an expert.
Steven Law (@LawAmericanX) ~ Always with the phony, unrevealed, self-certifying “experts”—the most common giveaway that Fake News is about to be committed.
AidanKearneyTB (@DoctorTurtleboy) ~ “Extremism experts” told her.
Zaid Jilani (@ZaidJilani) ~ The vast majority of violence in America is interpersonal and has nothing to do with what people read on Twitter, this is a ridiculous way for them to frame a story about a real issue which is homicide and assault.
USA Watch (@theUSAwatch) ~ It’s so maddening to hide behind the veil of “experts.”
It’s obviously someone from an activist group or a university professor; it’s always one of those two.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
