🚨NEW: This is what all networks should do!

MSNBC fact checks Trump live during his press conference.

The REAL crime stats are put on screen as he reads out his made up figures.

It's profoundly saddening to read that AP will no longer be assigning or running book reviews because readers don't engage with them enough and they take too much effort to plan and assign. People complain about critics as gatekeepers; wait until all that's left is marketing.

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

We will be publishing cultural criticism every day at The Rumpus. We hope to fill some of this egregious void being created by the mainstream media. Relaunch is in October but we are also publishing between now and then.

Anas al-Sharif among five Al Jazeera journalists killed by Israel in Gaza Al Jazeera staff killed in targeted Israeli attack on a tent housing journalists near al-Shifa Hospital, Gaza City.

Four Al Jazeera staff, including reporter Anas Al Sharif, were killed in an Israeli attack on a tent for journalists outside the main gate of Gaza's al-Shifa hospital aje.io/onll19

The other journalists killed: reporter Mohammed Qreiqeh, videographers Moamen Aliwa and Ibrahim Zaher and operator Mohammed Noufal.
The Israeli murder of Palestinian journalists is always intentional, always met with silence. And that's why it keeps happening. don't look away

Thank you!

Meta helped itself to my two books too…😡

Opinion | Trump Promised Retribution. Turns Out He Had a Very Big Target in Mind. It is hard to describe the president’s first month and a half in office as something other than a retribution campaign against the American people.

i am going to keep coming back to this piece i think. trump is fighting a retribution campaign against the entire american people. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/05/o...

An image of Jackie Robinson's face with a headline above it: "Defense Department webpage on Jackie Robinson's military service suddenly missing amid DEI purge"

Just the most morally brokeass pathetic cowards. Don't hesitate to stand up to them. They're afraid of the ghost of Jackie Robinson.

West Ada teacher stands firm after she’s told to remove ‘Everyone is welcome here’ signs Sarah Inama said she was told by administrators that her signs “don’t allow people to express differing opinions.”

A teacher in Idaho has been told to remove posters reading "Everyone is welcome here" - specifically because it features different skin tones. As I wrote last week, this is a global political movement that has explicitly set the goal of eradicating the very concept of equality.

Elon Musk Shared, Then Removed a Post Absolving Dictators for Genocide The post falsely claimed that Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler and Mao Zedong were not responsible for the murders of millions of people, but rather public sector workers were.

Not sure when the penny is going to drop that this dude means what he tweets, does and sig heils www.nytimes.com/2025/03/14/t...

DOGE's savings page fixed old mistakes — and added new ones An NPR review of new data added to DOGE's "wall of receipts" finds the group quietly changed previous errors, added new ones and still has little verified savings to show for its work.

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people.

Be strong, be brave, be fearless.
You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy.

We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

That Sinking Feeling "The thread of family history has always intrigued me. It’s probably the most complex, layered narrative we can tell." -- Elizabeth Rynecki

I recently did a Q&A with @paigebowers.bsky.social She asked me about storytellers, storytelling in different media, and thread of family history found throughout my work. Read it here: www.paigebowers.com/that-sinking...

Project 2025 was the absolute baseline the Democratic leadership should have been preparing for. Instead they're somehow surprised? And the lack of objection to Musk's role ahead of time leaves our coffers wide open and the public only hazily aware.

The administration didn’t backtrack because of a single thing our representatives did. They backtracked because the public revolted. Get loud. Stay loud. The disobedience is the point.

People are seeking books to teach their kids about diversity & belonging. What I hear: They're looking for books from a plethora of perspectives! Here are a few books, you & your kids may already be reading them ☺️

I did too.
