In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system.

Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.
Agree with your overall point, but where do you get 5 pizzas for $5?

Shutdown Day 33: 900k federal workers furloughed. That’s nearly the population of Austin, TX without paychecks.

Our school's readers love the DORK DIARIES & DIARY OF A WIMPY KID books so much that many of our copies are a disaster & need to be replaced.

This #DonorsChoose project will put fresh copies of these reader favorites on our library shelves.

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

I know this is obvious. And I know we all know this.
But if the President can raise taxes because an advert annoyed him, without even consulting Congress, then the US constitution is simply not functioning as intended.

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

ANY ARRESTS? Among the millions upon millions of "violent leftist radicals" that took to the streets today I cannot find word of a single arrest. Even when everything is peaceful there is usually an overzealous cop or something. This is unheard of. We need to beat the media over the head with it.

This is a blatant attempt to silence and isolate us. He’s stopping the trains, closing the freeways and firing live rounds into California. We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced. #NoKings

This is truly grotesque. Teachers should not be using this stuff. If a school was pushing it on teachers who work with kids I care about, I'd make a big effing stink until they stopped. We have to not give into this.

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

“Cycling in the buff is a Portland specialty, and one organization has announced a naked ride ‘in response to the militarization of our city,’” our columnist @nickkristof.bsky.social writes. “Such is the war zone here.”
Opinion | Troops Could Help Portland if They Rented Office Space
Trump’s dispatch of National Guard troops to Portland is another dangerous step toward politicizing America’s military forces.

"Fuck ICE" is a patriotic sentiment. Perhaps the most patriotic in this moment.

When a president sends troops into American cities to “restore order,” what he’s really doing is testing obedience. Portland and Chicago aren’t war zones…they’re warning shots. Authoritarians don’t announce takeovers. They practice them. One city at a time. However, each practice destroys families.
