If you think you know why US newspapers died, this feature documentary now streaming for free on PBS might surprise you. It wasn't the Internet. Newspapers were specifically targeted by vulture capitalists.

I composed the score for the film, which features electric cello & Crowfoot guitars.

Stripped for Parts: American Journalism on the Brink

A handful of journalists rebel against a hedge fund that is gutting newspapers nationwide.

Hey, what was happening in Germany in the 1930s? I forget.

James Woods
@RealJamesWoods
For those who actually respect history, the origin story of Antifa is well documented. Antifa is an organization that emerged with the “German Communist Antifaschistische Aktion” movement in the 1930’s.
German Communists smeared anyone to their right as "fascists,” a common ploy used by the ignorant hysterical activists of the Democrat Party today. Like today’s leftist loonies, the German Antifa of the Weimar years even labeled the leftwing SDP as "social fascists." Today’s Antifa are a paramilitary mob used by the usual suspects to foment fake “mass protests” and burn down cities. The same puppet masters of the Democrat activist judges ruining America today also fund these “useful idiots” of Antifa to impede the mandate given to the current President in his landslide last election victory.

The fact that white nationalists feel a need to make a halftime show just for them communicates clearly that they understand safe spaces. They just don’t want anyone they deem “other” to have one.

Safety for me, not for thee. In that regard, they sure got the “All-American” part right.

Autism isn’t a flaw it’s a different way
of seeing the world. I don’t apologize for
how my brain works. I’m proud of my
perspective, my strengths, and yes,
even my struggles. Because every shade
of autism is important and beautiful.

It always looks silly from these guys but this basic logic where the most marginalized people are actually elites representing “the machine” is also the shared understanding people running newsrooms and universities believe as well.

derek guy @dieworkwear.bsky.social · 7h

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.

She posted about Charlie Kirk's death. Within eight hours, she was fired

Alexandra is one of many people who lost their jobs for posting about the conservative influencer's death. She described the online mob that got her fired as "state-sponsored censorship."
