New — I was fortunate to speak in front of students and faculty at Grinnell College in Iowa tonight about the business of independent journalism, the current state of media under Trump 2.0, and billionaire control.

I published my full speech because I thought it might resonate beyond campus:

Truth, morality and independence in journalism under the second Trump regime

My full remarks to students and faculty at Grennell College.

Look. I think you should head to @bloody-disgusting.com to read @thewolfman.bsky.social's report on his stay at the POLTERGEIST. At the very least, I implore you to watch this his tour video. It's so fun! 👇

When I saw @thatwitchmia.bsky.social yesterday after being on a plane for 12 hours, she said, “Dolly’s sister asked for prayers, but EVERYTHING IS OK.” I wish I could get all worrying news delivered this way.

“There are just a lot of rumors flying around. But I figured if you heard it from me, you’d know that I was okay,” Dolly Parton said in a new two-minute video posted on Instagram. “I’m not ready to die yet. I don’t think God is through with me. And I ain’t done working.” https://to.pbs.org/4hc1DXB

'I'm not dying': Dolly Parton responds to concerns about her health

Late last month Parton postponed her first Las Vegas residency in 32 years, citing “health challenges.”

My husband just said, “Baby, it’s your time to shine,” then waited a beat and added, “I need a bookmark.”
