Journalism coops seem utopian. What’s it like working in one? "If I was less self-directed, I'd probably be freaking out."

“Being worker-owned and -operated is not a silver bullet for saving journalism or righting the wrongs of American capitalism, but it is one of many pathways that could use real funding, so we can see how big a part of the solution it could potentially be.” www.niemanlab.org/2026/02/jour...

AND! We'll ignore them, of course. Folks, like tRump, I think, honestly, believe the world began when they were born.

Trump just made Hunter Hess's case. With a President like that, who needs enemies?

Anne Applebaum on Trump's betrayal of Europe "They’re bewildered we’ve allowed this to happen."

"The American media makes things that are abnormal seem normal. The European press doesn’t do that. So you’ll see when they report on Trump’s rambling Davos speech, they will say it made no sense.
