As someone who went to journalism school, and was trained specifically in running a newsroom, US media conglomerates have enabled the erosion of our civil rights, the circulation of intolerance, and the normalization of oppressive ideologies. We have a moral responsibility to point this out.

As a semi-former journalist who went to journalism school and is friends with lots of journalists and defended US journalism for a very long time: US big-media political journalism absolutely HAS gone down a shameful, disgusting road, and saying that isn’t an illiberal act.

So, while everyone is returning to their corners preparing for the next round of very important Biden discourse, Trump is meeting with Orban who is coming directly from a meeting with Putin. Cool, guys. Very cool.

Didn't it turn out recently that almost all of the WaPo's cost overruns came from their massively expensive new content management system?

Me, I’ve been dropping relevant Project 2025 rundowns in any story I can (there’s a lot). My analysis, reading across sections of the “Mandate” document, of Project 2025’s vision of straight white patriarchal power was pub’d in February: newrepublic.com/article/1788...

There are many things that infuriate me about the pundit class right now, but probably one of the top on my list: Project 2025 has posted their plans for every single federal department on their website. They have a training academy for prospective appointees. Where are the hard hitting op-eds?

The MAGA people are bathed in the language of violence, promising it to millions of their fellow citizens, and the east coast media outlets can’t stop talking about Biden flubbing a debate. Regardless of intent, it reads like an endorsement of violence as legitimate and age as illegitimate.

NEWS --> Mark Robinson, the MAGA extremist GOP nominee for governor in North Carolina, appeared to endorse political violence against unnamed foes in a recent speech. "Some folks need killing!" he shouted. "It's a matter of necessity!" Video and story here: newrepublic.com/article/1834...

I’ve been skeptical about the idea that there is an actual rightward turn underway at the NYT, and assumed their recent baffling editorial decisions were a result of the usual tepid liberal both sides-ism. Today I’m canceling my subscription.

If you hear next week that the RNC has "moderated" on abortion by dropping a 20-week-ban from the platform or somesuch, here's me telling you now that it doesn't mean anything close to "moderation" when it's these guys running the show.

Listen Closely to the Men Crafting the GOP’s Anti-Abortion Policynewrepublic.com The main dispute within Trump’s Republican Party is not about how severely to punish women for having abortions, but merely how to “frame the argument.”

the fact that we can look at most major problems with our lives and guess "this is the fault of private equity" - and have that actually be correct a shockingly large percentage of the time - is an excellent reason to regulate the industry into the ground

"Veterinary prices have soared more than 60% over the past decade, according to federal stats. Private equity firms and large corps have bought 100s of facilities around the country, an acquisition spree reminiscent of the corporate roll-ups of doctors’ offices." www.nytimes.com/2024/06/23/h...

You don’t have to care about or even understand decentralization to use Bluesky, and that's on purpose. Keeping things simple on the surface creates a good user experience. But if you want to customize your experience, there are endless options under the hood because we built an open system.

Trump doesn't lie to be believed or because he believes his lies. He lies to be repeated.

This is important to note, but it's also important to note that he has been told this *repeatedly*. He made this mistake in 2016, and was corrected. He made it in office, and was corrected. Milley corrected him when he made this mistake in private. He's made it again and again and it doesn't sink in

Bluesky has always worked on desktop! The official app is at bsky.app, and there's also a popular third-party TweetDeck-style app at deck.blue. (I think there may be a couple of other options as well.) Lots to experiment with!
