“why don’t we already know about…”

live streaming and reporting are not the same thing.

interviews, fact checking, verification - those things take time. getting people and equipment into and out of war zones - those things take time.

California residents are noticing new license plate readers that appear to be operated by the Border Patrol. Some have had confusing encounters with agents. bit.ly/3ON0YBI

I am simply begging people to put information about their events, programs, projects etc in more places than just Instagram. It's fine to post on Instagram (obviously) but when that is the ONLY place that one can find info about what you're doing and hosting, that sucks! For so many reasons!!

“I Have Been Here Too Long”: Read Letters from the Children Detained at ICE’s Dilley Facility Hundreds of children are currently being held with their parents at an immigration detention center in Dilley, Texas. In letters and drawings, eight kids convey the pain of feeling trapped with no end...

Since the start of Trump’s second term, the number of children in ICE detention has increased sixfold.

In their letters, kids held at the Dilley center told us about missing their friends, being unable to go to school and feeling trapped.

NEW: “CBS Evening News” producer Alicia Hastey sends a bombshell farewell note:

Stories are “evaluated not just on their journalistic merit but on whether they conform to a shifting set of ideological expectations.”

“jamelle bouie, very angry black man” is funny though

Soyjack cows pointing at Veronika the cow scratching herself with a broom. Bad line drawing of two anthropomorphic cows, as if hastily traced in a paint app. Both cows are close to the camera looking directly to the viewer and making excited "OOHH" face as one of them points backwards away from the camera towards two photographs of a brown cow using a broom held in her mouth to scratch her hip and undercarriage.

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

Was talking to my friend about how around the GFC, American cultural production just entered an enforced nose-dive that we've never pulled out of. Life these days just feels so atomized and meaningless because we lack people laboring to give us a collective sense of things.

U. of I. Republicans club faces backlash for post supporting ICE: ‘Only traitors help invaders’ The Illini Republicans club at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is facing backlash after posting an illustration on social media of a masked gunman holding a weapon to a kneeling man’…

Reminder that the University of Illinois collaborated with local police and prosecutors to pursue trumped up felony charges against several students who participated in a Gaza solidarity encampment in the spring of 2024.

Guess we’ll see if they do anything about this.

Over 3,400 journalists were laid off in 2025

Georgia Fort's is chilling, and it's being overshadowed by the equally chilling arrest of Don Lemon.

A GoFundMe is being set up for Fort. In the meantime, you can support her work directly – without paying massive fundraising platform fees – through her website:

Don Lemon has been arrested for covering an anti-ICE protest Feds alleged that the former CNN anchor, as well as a local independent journalist, were part of a “coordinated attack.”

Huge respect to Georgia Fort for continuing to report what was happening and why it was unconstitutional while the Feds were literally at her door.
