My hometown absolutely floored me this past week. FLOORED.

For safety reasons, I haven’t said much about it. But I’m so damn proud of my family and friends. So proud.

Thrilled to sit down with @elisewho.bsky.social on @akidsco's #RaisingUsPodcast!

Inside ABC's Shock Kimmel Decision At Disney, emergency meetings were convened after the FCC chair’s Jimmy Kimmel threat, with the late-night host ready to respond on-air—but Disney brass ultimately decided to bench the marquee talent ...

"The message is chilling: in Trump’s America, even the most powerful media companies will silence their own talent if it keeps them in the administration’s good graces. It is a remarkable, and deeply alarming, moment for free speech."

"The CDC, once our nation's most powerful bastion against disease, injury, and disability, appears to be burning to the ground. This will be a prolonged, excruciating immolation, and people will die as a result."

Love a Foucault reference

Just saw some clips of Summer I Turned Pretty and um, neither Conrad v Jeremiah come close to the hotness of Ben vs Noel back in my day

This is a "systematic erasure of those who bear witness."

--Al Jazeera managing editor Mohamed Moawad

"Israel is murdering the messengers...Israel wiped out an entire news crew. It has made no claims that any of the other journalists were terrorists. That's murder. Plain and simple."

Senate Republicans vote to take up Trump’s tax bill, overcoming resistance in their ranks Lawmakers pushed through the president’s massive tax and immigration bill in a crucial procedural vote Saturday night.

"The Congressional Budget Office said Saturday that the Senate version would result in $930 billion in cuts to Medicaid, more than the roughly $800 billion that the House version proposes."

it would be really helpful for a journalist to be in the signal chat right now

budget question. If homeland security has used up its budget already (per that congressional hearing where Kristi Noem had to answer for running out of $), how does the agency afford more raids/higher quotas for raids?

Police Erupt in Violence Nationwide From New York to Los Angeles, police officers escalated the national unrest.

A vital conversation rn, esp given what we know about the carelessness of our tech overlords

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

John Bolton on why Trump 2.0 is going nowhere, fast Fascism, Bolton told Vox, is “too far above Trump’s capabilities.”

"To be a fascist, you have to think at some conceptual level, which Trump never does." —John Bolton, speaking with @vox.com

Trump’s new tariff math looks a lot like ChatGPT’s ChatGPT may be the White House’s latest economic advisor.

"Where did these numbers come from? Apparently, an oversimplified calculation that several major AI chatbots happen to recommend."

"You have given up..."

Apartheid Clyde a petty, dangerous, incompetent man but what always amuses me is how no one likes him and he can’t even buy his way into getting people to like him. He can’t buy a good sense of humor or good looks or good reputation.

One of the defining feelings in American life, for decades now, is elites doing plainly criminal shit and nothing at all happening as a result. It is deranging in a way that virtually nothing else is. Media fixates on perceived street lawlessness but shit like this matters much more in my opinion.

seems bad

(also, good for them)
