Greta Thunberg after being released #FreedomFlotilla

Why does it feel like the only thing genuinely safe in America is the Epstein files?

Greta Thunberg speaks to the press after being released from illegal detainment in Israel: "I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me, but that is not the story.”

I'd like to congratulate @cbsnews.com on hiring as editor-in-chief, the dumbest person in America, Bari Weiss

You should sell all the stations, equipment, and furniture. There is no recovery from this. Murrow, Cronkite and even Katie Couric would now deny they ever worked there

Ex-Justice officials: 'It's our duty to sound the alarm' Scores of officials who have resigned or been forced out of the Justice Department this year are speaking out against its "destruction."

“We believe it’s our duty to sound the alarm about this administration’s degradation of DoJ’s vital work, and its assault on the public servants who do it,” according to an open letter signed by 282 former officials.

It will take years to rebuild our Justice Dept.

“No one man can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices.” -Edward R. Murrow

Stephen Miller is against antifascists. So that makes him a #FASCIST. A Jewish fascist to boot, which is interesting.

This is an Epstein shutdown

Congrats to everyone who voted for a pardon for child rapist Ghislaine Maxwell.

John Oliver: "If ICE can bother some guys at a roofing job, bystanders can bother ICE at their state-sanctioned kidnapping job."

Another effort to track ICE raids was just taken offline People over Papers was removed by Padlet, the platform it was built on, yesterday.

Identifying public officials isn't "doxing." People have the right to know who is working for their government. Nor, for that matter, is it "radical left-wing terrorism." So it's frustrating to see platforms caving to these bad faith characterizations. www.technologyreview.com/2025/10/06/1...

C.I.A. Deputy Director Has Replaced Agency’s Top Legal Official With Himself

"“If the deputy director wants to do something and needs a legal opinion about whether or not he can do it, he can’t advise himself...”

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

NEW: For the last several months, I have written and spoken regularly about the rise of authoritarianism in the United States. This is not something I ever envisioned for myself — and it is certainly not something my ancestors envisioned for their great grandchildren.

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims officer said 'Do something b-----' before shooting Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.

Either you're against fascism, or you're foolish enough to believe it won't come for you.

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.

Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.

And yet, for all that this country gets right, Australia is a bit like the hottest girl in your freshman class. She looks fantastic in her crop top but suffers from crippling self-doubt.

I think often about the time NYT was finally shamed so hard about Bari Weiss that they exiled her to Australia, and she immediately offended the whole country by describing it like this

Guys, I did an antisemitism by reporting that CBS News staffers don't think Bari Weiss is qualified to run a broadcast news network.

How Have Your News Habits Changed? A Saturday Prompt

I'm talking to media expert Merrill Brown on Substack Live at 6:30 PM ET today about Bari Weiss of The Free Press taking over as editor-in-chief at CBS News and what it says about the state of broadcast news. I hope you’ll join us!

On changing news habits:

Things are bad. Bari Weiss—a minor opinion editor at the Wall St. Journal, then a minor opinion editor at the New York Times who canceled herself because no one else thought she was important enough to cancel, then the founder of a fake college and a fake media company—has just been handed the job of editor in chief at CBS News. According to an obsequious New York Times tongue bath by Jessica Testa, Weiss “ascended the mountain of journalism on a slingshot” which I guess is one way to describe failing upward for a decade by charming a series of influential conservative men at cocktail parties while never producing a single worthwhile piece of work. Peter Shamshiri wrote the short version of why this is a black joke on all of American media:

A useful summary of why Bari Weiss overseeing CBS News is bad news, courtesy of @rusty.todayintabs.com.

Bari Weiss becoming head of the news division at CBS does not just tarnish the legacy of Murrow and Cronkite, it tarnishes the legacy of fucking Hee Haw.

Bari Weiss demonstrating right out of the gate what an absolutely lazy hack she is

Remember this name. #CANDONDEANDAHLE. Another #GOPPedo who gets a slap on the wrist for SAing a little girl for FIVE YEARS! His plea deal doesn’t even make him register as a s*x offender. WTAF?
