Black father kills a man who tried to rape his daughter & media posts his solo mug shot.

White father murders his wife, shoots step child, kills himself, & media posts his smiling picture with family.

Make no mistake, this is how media normalizes white supremacy & extremism. We must reject it.

At the best of times, life hides substantial complexity, so a few simple rules are needed to balance the burden. For example, anyone who buys a Tesla is a Nazi, even if "moron" is a better descriptor.

It might be my incomplete sampling of news sources, but I have no sense that Americans are redirecting their spending from the major fascist players/oligarchs/red states. We get a lot of news about Canada's impact on tourism and some products (e.g., booze), yet little about internal (US) dynamics.

Any Venezuelan invasion is about regional influence, including the more accessible oil off the coast of Guyana.

This is an abstract landscape in mahogany that started life as a set of waveforms. The visible striations are natural with a strong copper tint.

This CNC relief carving is inspired by the 17th-century (perhaps 16th-century) Portrait of an Old Man by Abraham Bloemaert.

While the "No Kings" protests are great, Americans have waited too long, and it seems the numbers are far too low to have any impact. The corrupt psychopaths in DC will spend the evening planning Sunday brunch.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

We need to be building up alternate media networks.
The pundits/talking heads on the main networks and in Canada's American owned newspaper chain continue to miss the urgency of the moment.

Stelter: I also think the rise of MeidasTouch this year, which has been noticed by many Democratic politicians—figures like Gavin Newsom—it also speaks to the energy in the country.

This is the tribute Gabbard must offer to keep her job after contradicting Trump on Iran’s nuclear progress. The DNI effectively said there was no evidence to support Trump’s rationale for bombing Iran - and he was pissed.

Her transgression required a show of unhinged loyalty. And here we are.
BARTIROMO: Do you expect indictments and prosecutions?

GABBARD: In my view, yes, we have evidence to be able to move forward to prosecute and indict those responsible

BARTIROMO: I want to put a spotlight on those responsible -- Barack Obama, John Brennan, James Clapper ...
