As terrible as what is happening right now to journalism, we actually should dismantle the romantic myths we have of the press in America.
I teach in my class about colonial press censorship, and then how the independent press was a tool for the wealthy, white power holders to maintain dominance.

This is it.
And the founders also never really envisioned a system like industrial and post-industrial capitalism that would be *fundamentally at odds* with their vision of a democratic republic.
Which is why capitalism must be dismantled.

ICE at the polls! Bannon is basically yelling “fire” in a crowded theater here. His objective is to cause chaos (and suppress votes on the left). And it’s already working.
This threat works on multiple levels and doesn’t have to be “real” to serve its purpose.
Let me explain & offer some advice.

While the New Mexico Department of Health said it cannot pinpoint the baby's exact cause of death, officials believe it could have been linked to the mother drinking raw milk during pregnancy.

When a president calls on one political party to "nationalize" or "take over" voting, they are demanding consolidation of infrastructure to empower a one-party state.
Whatever you used to believe about U.S. elections being safe or secure, it's time to reassess those assumptions.

2.5 million Epstein documents are still unreleased with the DOJ saying no further prosecutions are likely to take place. That alongside the failure to redact the victims in this case is a complete and utter moral failure. Release all of them now.
