A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

My latest for Slate
You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.
What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

Journalisten moeten ‘radically truthfull‘ worden. Oók in NL. Een lezenswaardige lijst met ‘do’s’, zoals:
- Let no lie reach the audience unchallenged
- Get the fact check as close to the lie as possible.
- Interrupt aggressively.
- Boot people off the air if they repeatedly lie.
En nog veel meer.
My Stop the Presses newsletter calls for more aggressive action by the media to be "radically truthful" and defeat the liars:
/ Correct *every* lie uttered on your platform.
/ Put Trump's remarks on tape delay for proper fact checks.
/ Cut off liars in mid-interview and ban them from your airwaves.
How to build a radically truthful news outlet
The old ways don’t work. Time to declare war on the liars.

Pluribus fan who can't buy that Carole can have sex with Zosia without giving everybody on Earth an orgasm. Getting a phonecall from Laxmi that's just beyond livid

Someone sent me this video of Trump’s goons in action today in the Twin Cities. The audio is disturbing.

I mean, that’s a pretty good line
Frey on Noem: "That was some wild and crazy stuff. It sounds like she doesn't believe a single word she's saying right now. And I don't know if Donald Trump was drinking a glass of water if she'd actually be able to speak."

En ook nooit uit die hoek eens een ‘shit, ik heb eigenlijk helemaal niet gekeken’. En waarom werd mevrouw niet woest op WNL op Zondag? Die ook niets in de aankondiging had.

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.

Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”

Really listen to it.
