Historian here:

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

Everything in the news is terrible. Without minimizing those events (they are terrible), it’s also important to zoom out: here’s why the world isn’t as bad as you think—and why the news aggregates every bad event while failing to cover positive trends.
Why the world isn't as bad as you think
News coverage is terrible at capturing the biggest good news stories: the long-term trends that show vast improvements in human living standards across long stretches of time. We need to fix that.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Public service announcement: when a rep or senator says something, they literally have the same info you do from the same sources.

We always pretended to have special knowledge, but rarely did.

Keep that in mind with the drone hysteria
