I was going to act with integrity regardless. If you need the threat, it’s not integrity.

UNWELCOME. The president is targeting Democratic-led cities. This is alarming!

The media have been, are, and will continue to be complicit in everything the Trump administration does

Maybe beginning to feel news coverage that either ignores this sort of blather or balances it with a polite “Some experts disagree with the assessment that Portland is a burned-out hellscape under the rule of Antifa warlords” doesn’t really cut it.

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

I don’t begrudge anyone who still has trouble seeing and stating the obvious. The media is and has been for a very long time complicit in everything Trump is doing. They want this. To search for other reasons is a defense mechanism. Because reality is incredibly fucking scary right now.

The Greek myth ending of this story is the Trump gang's invention of leftist bogeymen accidentally provokes the advent of actual militant leftism, because it becomes the only realistic way of resisting his abuses

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.
