my first reaction upon hearing that Homan was going there was to imagine that Trump hid another $50k cava bag somewhere in the twin cities and Homan is now tasked with finding it
CNN calling Tom Homan "well respected" and "not as hardline as Bovino" is an interesting choice. The dude took a $50,000 bribe in a fucking Cava bag and says all the same fascist shit as Bovino and Noem.

the other day I saw someone try to make a joke about OSHA violations but they spelled it “ocean violations” and I’ve just been thinking about potential ocean violations ever since

Journalists, please remember that repeating obviously false statements is not balance or fairness. It is actively participating in deception.

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

Something I want more people to bear in mind about Linda Tirado's injuries in 2020 is how few colleagues in journalism felt moved to aggressively support her in public after she was shot by police.
People need to learn from that now as journalists go into danger again, because that hurt her a lot.

If you’re outraged over ICE and you want to do one thing tonight where you don’t even have to leave your couch, subscribe to a local, independently owned newspaper.
Having reporters who can be relied on right now to ask questions and actually report the truth is essential.

It’s crucial that networks with Sunday morning shows not let Republicans lie about what happened today. Interrupt them, cut their mics, cut away. It’s reckless and inaccurate to let them spin a murder. The video is clear. I don’t expect this to happen, but the journalistic imperative is clear.

Hey you know that uncomfortable, existentially reorienting realization you might be having right now that America is harmful, has always been harmful, is built on harm — and you are in & of it, even as you might choose to rage against it?
