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.

If Democrats weren't absolutely shit at messaging, we'd be seeing "Trump Destroyed Christmas" ads everywhere 24/7.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

Levar Burton as Jeordi LaForge on Star Trek: the Next Generation in two frames. Making a “no thanks” motion toward “ANTIFA” in the first, and a pointing “right on” motion toward “ANTI-FASCIST” in the second.

Border Patrol & ICE operating under Trump regime directives have repeatedly attacked and detained US citizens violating their civil rights and human rights. Regime agents have also been caught falsifying reports, destroying evidence to cover up their actions. #3E 🧵

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

I think this is a good time to remind everyone:

AND

she is currently the top law enforcement official in the United States.

Let that sink in.

The Speaker of the House is telling the Fox News audience that a peaceful demonstration by Americans on the National Mall will actually be a gathering of organizations the administration has designated as violent terrorists.

Seems bad?

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

When ICE agents use excessive force and flout state laws, why are they not being arrested on the spot? Why are the state and cities not telling their troopers and police to watch what is happening and intervene when necessary to protect their citizens.

Mike Johnson, one of the great cowards in American history, has cancelled votes again.

A reminder that by law a budget was supposed to have been passed and in place on September 30. There is no Republican budget; no process to create one; and Johnson is preventing Congress from working on one.
