"In an authoritarian context, all journalism will tend toward propaganda unless it is explicitly formulated as anti-authoritarian. Unless an institution is explicitly designed to counter authoritarianism, it will end up aiding the authoritarians."

The Washington Post and CBS News are dying. The Bulwark is the future.

We drink their milkshake.

Sending strength to Joe Biden as he begins radiation and hormone therapy for prostate cancer. Few people have given more of themselves in service to this country. Wishing him comfort and healing surrounded by family and love.

If the wealth of the USA were distributed equally, each person would receive approximately $471,465. Full communism when?

Zohran Mamdani on the weaponization of the DOJ against Letitia James. Pam Bondi is going to have to answer to all of these fake indictments. She is going to lose everything in life because of this alliance with Trump.

OUR tax dollars are being used to bail out Argentina, OUR troops are being put on the ground in Israel & OUR soil is being used by Qatar for a military base of their own.
While OUR government is shutdown.
Anyone who believes OUR so-called “president” when he says he is “America first”, is an idiot.

🕯️Farewell to the incomparable Diane Keaton — an icon of wit, warmth, and originality, she redefined what it meant to be a leading lady: fearless, funny, and utterly herself. Her spirit, style, and humanity will continue to inspire generations of artists and dreamers. Thank you for the magic, Diane

Great news! 24,000 donors have raised over $567,000 within 24 hrs of Letitia James’ indictment. Mamdani also summoned what is known as the sisterhood of Black elected officials in NYC to lend their support. I look forward to her victory. ❤️‍🔥 #Pinks #SheShed

NO PAY for House of Representatives during the shutdown. 👎👎👎⛈️⛈️⛈️

NPR @npr.org · 23h

On Capitol Hill, there has been almost no sign of progress toward ending the shutdown. Senators say they aren't even formally negotiating, which begs the question: what are they actually doing?

'Make it stop.' For lawmakers, the shutdown feels like purgatory (but with Thai food)

I'm late to this masterpiece by @lopatto.bsky.social but it's a series of darts sticking Bari Weiss to the bullseye. A totally different viewpoint on why she's been put in charge of CBS News and why she will regret that forever👏👏👏👏👏 www.theverge.com/business/793...

Memo to Bari Weiss Re: CBS News: You’re doomed

Bari Weiss has sold her company, The Free Press, to manage the decline of broadcast news at CBS. How many ways can it go wrong?

When Republicans are pre-butting a pro-democracy rally like No Kings and making shit up left and right to scare people, you know they're losing and in panic mode.

They are building a Propaganda State.

They are cooking the books on job creation.

Now they are rigging death numbers so no one knows how many people die because of their attacks on vaccines and science.

October 18: No Kings Day 👑✊ Because I want my 4 pillars back—rule of law, inclusion, diversity, and that old-school promise of America. Funny how demanding democracy feels rebellious now. #NoKingsDay #RestoreThePillars #Resist #SnarkTok
