Bari Weiss’ two accomplishments so far are hosting an interview that she desperately wanted people to watch (but they didn’t) and trying to spike a news story that she desperately wanted nobody to watch (but they did)

Trump wants to cancel TV licenses because he doesn't like what late night TV hosts are saying about him.

What happened to "stop cancel culture" and buck up "snowflakes?" And what happened to the First Amendment?

I've now watched the censored 60 Minutes report on CECOT. If you watched it too—and if you have any decency at all—I'm sure you came to the same conclusion I did: winning elections won't be enough; people like Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem will need to be charged and imprisoned.

CBS is now state run media. Killing a story, then lying about the justification, is the death of integrity.

After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's.

Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1.

Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

An enraging trend right now, from CBS to the CDC, of people actively undermining institutions, then taking the reins of those institutions and claiming they need to rebuild the trust they helped destroy. (Also, people already trusted 60 Minutes.) bsky.app/profile/just...
Bari Weiss just sent this Christmas Eve email to the CBS News staff about "building trust," which includes her tripling down on spiking the CECOT piece "to make sure it's comprehensive and fair."

One CBS staffer tells me: "She really has no idea how insulting she comes across."

The basic truth is the University of Oklahoma fired an instructor because she had the audacity to do her job while trans. Media like CNN are complicit in simultaneously pushing the anti-trans narrative and covering up the brutal outcomes of this societal purge.

The reality for the other students is that they are no longer enrolled in a psychology class. It is a Psychology plus My Personal Christian Beliefs class.

Every class at OU is now a My Personal Christian Beliefs class.

Every time any student raises such beliefs, instructors have to accept them.

Reminder that Bari Weiss held the 60 Minutes piece on migrant gulags with the suggestion that Stephen Miller (whose number she has) should comment. Maybe if 60 Minutes could just post this video alongside the story, it would meet Weiss's vaunted editorial standards.
White House Senior Advisor Stephen Miller has spent years weaponizing hatred to become the mastermind of Trump’s crackdown on marginalized groups.

Zeteo traces his most hateful, strange, and downright cringey moments along the way.

It’s not enough to beat MAGA at the ballot box, these criminals need held accountable to ensure this will never happen again.

Anyone asking for our vote needs to commit to prosecuting Trump and his cadre of corrupt conspirators for their crimes.

Well, I've seen the 60 Minutes CECOT segment now. It's good, and it outlines the horrific conditions this administration sent people with no criminal record to

You'd only kill that segment if you were trying to protect the administration

Detainee they are interviewing was a college student in Columbia. Waited in Mexico until he had a 2024 immigration interview in CA - a scheduled appointment - where he was told he was a danger to society. Claims he has no criminal record, never even got a traffic ticket. Was immediately detained

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

Hard to express how much I love this.

Twitter is the Nazi site for Nazis. Delete it, ESPECIALLY if you're a famous person or political leader.

Abughazaleh does a great job explaining that it's also TRASH and doesn't even let you reach your audience.

Get the hell off.
This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all.

And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

There are plenty of obvious reasons to do this: Nobody under the age of 30 actually uses the site! You're rewarding Elon Musk!

But the most important thing is that some politicians and consultants are stewing in bot-driven, expensive Nazi propaganda, and it's giving them really bad, cruel ideas.
