It's "speak truth to power" except for when that power has a direct influence on you.
I'm not a Maoist, but I firmly believe that "serve the people" should be the mantra for journalists. Too many reveal themselves as self-centered careerist narcissists who don't care about anything other than their own status.

Don't be fooled. Removal of masks in hospitals and other healthcare settings is... A) Eugenics B) A great way to "break" our healthcare system Healthcare workers and patients getting hospital-acquired infections is part of #WeWantThemInfected.
Seeing masks on Olympic and Tour de France athletes, to protect themselves and each other, while babies in the NICU are being coughed on by healthcare workers. Oh, you here for your chemo? Let me breathe on you, loser.

One factor is going largely unmentioned in the uniform Dem response to the attempt on Trump. Politicians are deathly afraid that any actual analysis of the factors behind it because if they acknowledge the fascist tilt of the GOP and its supporters then they make themselves similar targets.

Maybe some SWers I know can help me with this question but every once in a while I see a prominent porn star or online creator who's like... ride or die MAGA. Is it cognitive dissonance? They have to know their entire being is first to be thrown under the bus, right? Is it just economic selfishness?

MAGA boards are lighting up with declarations of civil war, with a NY-based Proud Boys channel calling for feds, Democrats and reporters to be “hung in the streets.”

Trump and MAGA will use this to purge insufficiently loyal Republicans btw.

A video filmed by a bystander and verified by The Post shows the body of a man lying on the roof of a building a little more than 400 feet from where Trump was speaking. The person who shot at the former president fired from that roof, according to a person familiar with preliminary information.

From an Axios reporter on Twitter. This will get worse before it gets better, if it gets better.
when I quit my career as a political reporter the day after Super Tuesday 2016 at the age of 29 people were very surprised and always wanted to know why and without fail my first response was “I didn’t want to die at a Donald Trump rally.”

The people saying not to give into the despair aren't dealing with reality. The left is in no position to resist a full fascist crackdown right now. We're at Defcon fucking 1. It's "not over" in that nothing is truly over but we are in store for a fucking nightmare and its okay to recognize that.
