A lot of people think editorial leadership and senior editors are instructed to chase traffic leading to wildly poor frameworks for analysis and journalism. But there are plenty of editorial leaders who just have an instinct for using bad frameworks like this to chase attention

I respectfully disagree. Pageless messes with my mind and my small screen!!

Both of my flights in the last few days have been delayed - thanks to the #shutdown. I don’t blame the workers for this. I’m looking squarely at Congress and the administration. And this isn’t even the worst part about the shutdown.

There’s a whole word for this that I love: defenestration. How often did that have to happen for people to create a word that means that?

Air traffic controllers are working 60-hour weeks with no pay—conditions that led to a breaking point during the last shutdown.

Broadview Police Chief Thomas Mills said ICE agents are draining the resources of his department and the community by making false 911 calls. He has demanded ICE turn over the names of all federal officers involved in each incident, and said he is ready to take ICE to court.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

I have watched the whole thing, and it is obvious from the beginning that Ezra is lost and can’t think outside of his narrow political view. He lacks an understanding of what PEOPLE need, not just the political machine. Completely ahistorical in his approach.

I learn a lot by looking at the work of our @tinynewscollective.bsky.social members. This story from @ottawanewsnetwork.bsky.social is the first I've seen anywhere that talked about the shuttering of the Blue Ribbon Schools program by this administration. www.ottawanewsnetwork.org/ottawa-count...

if the state of journalism and its capture by the right wing also has you in despair, a real, tangible thing you can do to push back is support/subscribe to worker-owned indie news media!!

I might DM you. Or could text with you about it.

Yikes!

When and where is the conference? I might have an idea to share with you that is part of an approach I'd like to take into a few conferences/spaces.

Quite the dilemma! Either way, I like your superstitious thinking.

The only way to see the US as a historically white country is if you pretend Indigenous Americans don't exist and you ignore the fact that African Americans have been in this country longer than most of its white people.

The way US history is taught from k-12 affirms the lie of white supremacy.

That's why it's great that Estes Valley Voice came into being last year: estesvalleyvoice.com

Mario Guevara faces imminent deportation after being detained by ICE for over 100 days.

His crime? Livestreaming a “No Kings” protest.

If you were outraged about Jimmy Kimmel, you should be more outraged about Guevara.

It’s time to #FreeMario now!

FACTS. Plus, I’d really like to put my hand into a dog’s slobbering mouth and risk getting bitten!
