“I didn’t mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious … She’s been a little under the weather and I simply asked for prayers bc I believe so strongly in the power of prayer. It was nothing more than a little sister asking for prayers for her big sister. Thank you all for lifting her up.”

AOC mocked Stephen Miller's height, and Fox News primetime lineup spent the whole night defending Miller's manhood. It got them completely off message on the government shutdown. We're right not to fear these losers.

This is wild.

A video posted to social media by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) portrayed the raid at 7500 S. South Shore as a military-style operation to capture young brown men. In reality, federal agents detained nearly every resident of the 130-unit building—including children and babies—placing them in zip ties and separating them by race into vans for more than two hours early Tuesday morning.

May we hold everyone's humanity today, tomorrow and everyday forward.

Picture of Dr. King from behind giving a speach to a room of people. With a quote on the side "The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."

I worked for @freepress.bsky.social for a short time. Really important work. And I love reclaiming the name from Bari Weiss' sham organization. If you do not like billionaires owning all the ways we get news, Free Press is fighting media consolidation.

Because I cannot stand even one more pandering LinkedIn message mistaking @freepress.bsky.social for THE Free Press and/or me for CBS sellout Bari Weiss, please read this piece by @timkarr.bsky.social explaining what our Free Press stands for - and against. www.freepress.net/blog/this-fr...

What's in a Name: This Free Press Isn't 'The' Free Press

While Bari Weiss borrowed our name, our two organizations could not be more different. Here’s why.

David Ellison's first major hires at CBS News have been right-wing ombudsman Kenneth Weinstein and right-wing editor-in-chief Bari Weiss. But his true political views remain a mystery.

Remember when the media and TV consultants who don't run winning campaigns pushed that fighting Trump putting troops in US cities was a loser for Democrats and that fighting it was bad politics. Lol.

Any retrospective from the media on that advice?

If you'd like to delight in a side-by-side comparison, here's Bari Weiss' reported note to CBS staffers (left) and the one I cooked up on ChatGPT with a quickly dashed-off prompt (right). Looking forward to hearing from you in the days and weeks ahead!

Warning Suicide discussed: I don't know what happened today at the Worcester Courthouse that led to a person jumping from the 3rd floor, but the 3rd floor is where I saw the least amount humanity as a foster parent. It's where the state robbed parents of their children. The system is so inhumane.
