Amplify the good stuff. Bring attention to topics in danger of falling off the radar. Focus on legit news in need of amplification. Remember: Carl Bernstein says, "Truth is not neutral." Christiane Amanpour, says be "truthful, not neutral."

Right now, we have a tax code that forces firefighters and teachers to pay a higher share of their income than many billionaires and major corporations.
We need to change that - because our economy requires it, and because it is simply the right thing to do.

ICE has forfeited that claim thanks to its own behavior and leadership. It’s not a “legitimate law enforcement agency.” Defund ICE.
