To repeat a point worth bearing in mind, the Times pretends it can’t crusade, insisting that it must never do so — but that’s balderdash. The paper is more than capable of winding itself up — but the health of the republic isn’t what does that. Trans people and campus leftist: that’s the stuff.

It’s not that the institution of the Times _can’t_ crusade, as the paper’s former executive editor implied during the Trump years. Rather, democracy just isn’t what winds up present-day Times leadership. The defense of a certain social order is.

Rebecca Solnit on the ridiculous frenzy about Biden’s age: “[The media is] doing exactly what they did in the 2016 presidential race — providing wildly asymmetrical and inflammatory coverage of the one candidate running against Donald J Trump.” [kottke.org]

Appalling vs. a Whole Other Level of Appallingkottke.org Rebecca Solnit: Why is the pundit class so desperate to push Biden out of the race? I am not usually one to offer diagnoses of people I’ve never met, but it does seem like the pundit class of the American media is suffe

The media need to stop using the word “conservative” to describe fascists. MAGA isn’t trying to “conserve” American values. It’s attempting to trash bedrock democratic principles and create an America that has never existed before. My newsletter. www.stopthepresses.news/p/stop-sayin...

Stop saying “conservative” when you mean fascistwww.stopthepresses.news Media must emphasize that Republicans have trashed bedrock principles

University presidencies and governing boards increasingly select for all the worst possible qualities. Good at quashing dissent, securing defense funding, upping sports rankings, enhancing exclusivity, attracting strings-attached dirty-money-laundering donations from alums? You're in!

In 2004 I interviewed leaders from every party I could abt the election for my college paper. I was surprised the cpusa guy said he was voting for Kerry, then he said couldn't imagine putting his vanity above the lives of every vulnerable person he was trying to help. I still think abt it.

This is the America we need to fight for

just watched 74 people speaking at least a dozen different languages become american citizens in a ceremony at monticello, where the speakers were themselves children of immigrants. inspiring stuff and a vivid illustration of what reactionaries want to snuff out
