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."

My 16-year-old Chilean nephew was curious about what’s happening with ICE.
In Chile, the word “conservative” is associated with capitalism, and “liberal” is associated with communism. He observed that Trump says he’s a capitalist but doesn’t act like one.

Great to talk with Dahlia about the warehousification of immigrant detention and how it intersects with concentration camp history. I've now had a chance to listen to the Linus Chan segment, too, and it's so helpful how he lays out the maximalist approach unfolding now on the ground.

The people who are telling you they are withdrawing ICE from Minnesota are the same people who told you a year ago they would release the Epstein Files in full.
They are not to be trusted. They are allergic to truth and incapable of decency.

Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ “new restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.
