Important context: this was for native ads only, does not include spend for events, or traditional ad placements (e.g. the ubiquitous oil ads in The Daily).
when we did the most *conservative* accounting of this (using advertising data, because of course they're also not transparent about it), the NYT alone had taken in $20 million from oil and gas companies in just THREE years. it's absolutely wild drilled.media/news/drilled...

Kinda like paying for the harms from air pollution and greenhouse gases would kill the fossil fuel industry. Wait...isn't that how the invisible hand of the market economy is supposed to makes our lives better and better?

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

The Oregonian editorial board linked this post in their Trump editorial today because they know it’s true and that they are partially responsible for promoting the idea that Portland is a crime ridden hellscape.

They want to pretend it never happened when confronted with their own complicity.
I don’t want to hear anymore “Portland is dying” narrative or vague complaints about “ANTIFA” as the clarion call for action in the city. All of that led to Trump targeting us. Groups like People for Portland, associated right-wing media ecosystem, and political opportunists own this.

Hours after a federal judge paused the Trump administration’s plans to deploy 200 members of the Oregon National Guard to Portland, federal law enforcement officers escalated the tactics used on protesters in the city.

Read our statement responding to reports that the president is sending California National Guard troops to Oregon.

We are quickly assessing our options and preparing to take legal action.

We’ll continue to share updates as we have them.

Councilor Green and fellow Portland veterans leading a protest against the unlawful deployment of the national guard, the attack on our immigrant neighbors, and the rise of fascism.

To those in the armed forces, it’s not simply that you have a right to disobey an unlawful order. You have a duty.

Apparently inspired by yesterday's embarrassing loss in court, Trump has ordered California Gov. Gavin Newsom to send 300 of that state's National Guard members to Portland. Oregon Gov. Kotek says 100 have already arrived, while at the ICE facility, federal agents are growing more violent.

The corporate coup is global.

Trump's mad tariffs do not mark the end of neoliberalism or free trade or whatever you want to call it.

They mark the end game of what we have been fighting for decades: corporate rule.

They do not believe in the public. They believe in their wealth.
