I honestly cannot believe you’ve willingly decided to go into the worst kind of job that exists: management at a dying company."
Memo to Bari Weiss Re: CBS News: You’re doomed
Bari Weiss has sold her company, The Free Press, to manage the decline of broadcast news at CBS. How many ways can it go wrong?

Doing politics the right way is when the far-right regime in power memorializes a fallen influencer by terrorizing an academic that the influencer's McCarthyist organization once baselessly singled out for abuse.

That was amazing fantastic interview and discussion!!

And as an OTM supporter I’m deeply embarrassed that Mr. Loewinger didn’t get the Dune quote. 😂

June 11: GOP Sen. Marsha Blackburn introduces a bill to defund NPR and PBS because of their "left-wing propaganda" and "radical leftist gender ideology."

October 7: The news industry's main trade group gives Blackburn its "Support Journalism Champion Award."

Just shameless.

Another week, another excellent @onthemedia.bsky.social episode. John J. Lennon is a vital voice that I wish I'd been familiar with years ago, and I look forward to reading The Tragedy of True Crime. Continuously in awe of how Brooke Gladstone combines compassion and incisiveness in her interviews

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.

But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.

Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

An appropriate day to read @msjpauly.bsky.social's piece on conversion therapy, which first came for gay people before it was trained on trans folk. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
First they tried to "cure" gayness. Now they're fixated on "healing" trans people.
