Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.
This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

100% this!!!
Thoughts from today: when you're sharing news stories, are you framing your presentation of said story in a way that promotes your ultimate goal of restoring democracy? Are you motivating people to take action? Or scaring the shit out of them? Is your framing aiding the fascists or fighting them?

Apparently, we can do an end run around Mike Johnson, who refuses to swear in recently (and duly) elected AZ Rep #AdelitaGrijalva.
Use www.pleasegrowaspine.org to contact EVERYONE and demand that Grijalva be sworn into allow her to represent her constituents.

This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.
