60 minutes CECOT segment. Recorded through my browser. HD quality. Not phone. Spread it around. If you're press, it's yours. Go nuts.
It's streaming on a Canadian website, but there is no telling for how long.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

An Anti-Defamation League that actually believed in its stated mission would savage Trump for his comments about Rob Reiner and his wife, but they are too busy trying to find out whether an Oberlin student said something critical of Israel.

Every journalist of color I know would be punished or fired for being repeatedly late on deadline and filing "provocative" expense reports. We are also constantly concerned about layoffs or had direct experience with them. I hate this.
The breathtaking, audacious confidence of this passage…
You’re telling me you came up in political journalism of the 2010s and 20s and *never once* worried about job security? Really???
That’s… diagnosable.

Moral rot in elite journalism is killing the whole field
