The [Tuesday] Papers
Just coined a term for all the bullshit Rahm legacy building the media has been doing: Rahmaganda.

Not just buying it, but hiring it.
RELATED: Columnist Curtis Black critiqued Rahm Emanuel's most recent pieces in The Atlantic and The New York Times last week as misrepresenting his record on police reform and school policy as mayor of Chicago. https://t.co/9ucJ2uzg82

The description used to say the media was "buying it," hence the comment.

Honest question: Has #RahmEmanuel damaged or improved more lives in his career? @TheAtlantic @NewYorker @nytopinion @Suntimes @CrainsChicago

That sweater should go in a Chicago Politics Hall of Fame, no?
#RahmEmanuel was so unpopular after his first term he had to don a sweater in an apology ad - and spend an overwhelming amount of money - to get re-elected. He was so unpopular after his second term he did not run for re-election. @TheAtlantic

To journalists evaluating the job performances of pols, officeholders, corporate executives or anyone else: "Mixed" is as much a subjective opinion as "successful" or "failed." (It's also just as lacking in nuance.)

Still a lot of Rahm legacy stories I haven't gotten to, but this strikes me as an unusually good - in this environment - appraisal of #RahmEmanuel in a particular subject area. https://t.co/QOEtkfTVWJ

Some might say, well, doesn't this show a "mixed" record? No. First, everybody has a mixed record by any definition, but this piece has a thruline (and not a lazy he-said, she-said): While Rahm has done some things that have protected immigrants, he has not been the leader he portrays himself as, but a follower - and one who seems to have acted in various ways on the issue throughout his career as determined by his reading of the political winds, not any particular humanitarian conviction. That's probably true of Rahm on every front. A political opportunist who has helped people along the way only by accident, i.e., when it's been good for him to do so. (Some might call a person like that a supremely cynical fuck.)

Terms Of Service Gone Awry
Black women get flagged for posting hate speech when they share experiences of racism. Sex educators' content is removed because it was deemed too risqué. And soon, you may not even have to agree to the terms to have agreed to the terms. They agree for you! Self-agreeing terms!
