Lived through this at a small paper. Every consultant pitch seemed like what someone would recommend if they didn't want any more newspapers.

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.

Tens of millions of people have died from Covid.

Every country should have responded with record investments in public health infrastructure.

Instead the US government is putting us all at greater risk of more catastrophes by firing hundreds of top scientists whose job is to prevent outbreaks.

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

Estonia has closed off a road/border passing through Russia after larger than usual groups of troops have been spotted.

Comment: I am hard pressed to find any insignia on those filmed and SE news claims "little green men".

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

Are there ANY principled Republicans left in government? Why aren’t they speaking up? Combover Caligula has completely taken over the Republican Party in less than half the time it took Hitler to seize full control of the NAZIs.

Thank you @annettebeebe.bsky.social

I'm calling this the Trumpsteinizm supremacy. Authoritarianism to keep the secrets secret! To maintain the power to seduce and have your way without worrying about money trails!

Truth always wins. Humans are all humans....none are superior!
