But what historical scholarship shows is that modern journalistic norms, especially around balance and objectivity, actually arose as a defensive measure by powerful, private owners of media to stop increased public oversight and public alternatives to for-profit media.

I'm sure it's just coincidence that Marisa keeps breaking these stories and then when the major outlets cover it hours or days later they don't link to her.

My hope is that there’s no conditions to people’s opposition to a war on Venezuela. Your “I don’t like Maduro, but” statement helps our Nazi government’s imperialist aims in Latin America. Full Solidarity with the resistance or shut up.

Moments ago: tenants of the South Shore apartment building that federal immigration agents raided at the end of September held a presser to announce they're forming a tenants union.

They're demanding, among other things, sewage removal and heat and electricity restroration.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

We’re about to invade Venezuela because trump wants their oil. No other reason. The airspace has been cleared. Embassies are being evacuated. Flights are being canceled.

He’s going to kill people for oil.

this is picking up steam so by all means watch and judge for yourself. what i see here is a lot of focus on fighting in the national arena with a lot of lukewarm answers to very pressing issues. “prepare kids for the ai economy”? we need to be talking about breaking tech companies up dude.

Genius

Elon Musk donated $277 million to Trump so he could steal the federal government’s data, dismantle the nation’s infrastructure, and stop foreign aid from going to nonwhite people. It’s a quid pro quo breathtaking in scope, corruption, and damage, & completely unprecedented in American history.

Black women are down 297,000, but men’s gains have surged to +621,000. That’s a 324,000 widening of the gender gap in two months—a 34% jump. Since February, the swing between black women’s losses and men’s gains approaches 1 million jobs.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

How Volunteer Patrols Are Working to Protect San Diego Immigrant Communities From ICE In response to mass deportation threats and mixed messages from county leaders on federal cooperation, San Diego organizers are taking action to inform residents of ICE activity.

A group in San Diego is patrolling neighborhoods to identify potential ICE presence. They keep watch for vehicles that may belong to federal agencies, and use livestreams, radios, and social media to keep communities informed.

JUST IN: A federal judge in New York (appointed by Trump) has ordered the Trump administation resume a deferred action program for young undocumented immigrants who faced abuse/neglect in their home country. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

VICTORY: Hundreds showed up in Oakland last night to oppose expanding the city's surveillance network.

Don't forget about LA. The feds never left (& won't be leaving until at least 2028). The people will continue to fight.

Thank you. I think a lack of media coverage of ICE's current violence in LA is like how so many people just assumed Flint's water was fixed.

Because if there's a deadly crisis still going on, the media would report it, right?

Just like how the media reminds people to wear respirators for Covid! 🙃

I have been arguing via email about this with city councilman and his arguments for are just. Not good. It basically boils down to "an alternative might take more time" which. Ok??? That's all you've got???

Anyway if you live in Oakland please feel free to yell about this. It sucks.

This is a wonderful and right-on-time conversation. I especially loved the recognition that fear clarifies what we value that we don't want taken away, and the invitation to connect with our fear, without shame, to let it show us what we love, and then to "think about possibility from that space."

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

Rough day to be any sort of survivor of sexual violence. Solidarity to all of you, please be kind to yourselves
