Läget i Georgien blir allt mer akut. Polisen slår till hårt mot oppositionen och de journalister som bevakar utvecklingen riskerar att råka illa ut. För en månad släppte vi den här kortpodden (5 min) om utvecklingen i landet.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

That’s exactly what the people who made this decision and the people who benefit from this decision want, even if they won’t admit it (even if they don’t truly realize it). That has been the trend for the industry and they’re quadrupling down on it. Journalism doesn’t actually benefit them, it hurts

Installing someone like Bari Weiss as the head of a major news organization isn’t even about profit or longevity. In effect it’s about continuing to shrink the traditional news industry smaller and smaller and weaker and weaker and less and less journalism based until it ceases to exist

Fascism in America will not stop unless we stop it and that means coming together in collective action to shift the paradigm and begin answering the material conditions that created this crisis.

Seeing how this system works make it obvious. It will continue until we stop it.

Again, Trump is a symptom of a larger disease.

Whether it's him or someone else, conditions right now necessitate the wealth class embracing a fascist project. You have to look beyond him and see it's not an aberration but an evolution that we must stop.

And yes, some of the media conglomerations are capitulating, but what is being revealed, day by day, is that the wealth class isn't just afraid of Trump, they're on board with the ongoing fascist escalation that we've been watching for decades. It helps to see this clearly and not living in denial.

Weiss's ascendance represents the need for the wealth class to continue moving rightward as capitalism requires fascism. Individuals like Klein are there to help moderate white liberals begin to accept that "necessity." That's how this whole thing works and has always worked.

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

Hovrätten mildrar Rasmus Paludans dom Det tidigare utdömda fängelsestraffet mot Rasmus Paludan tas bort av hovrätten som dömer honom till villkorlig dom för ett fall av hets mot folkgrupp.

We really need to retire "contrarian" as a descriptor for Weiss immediately.

The reason she is getting this job right now is because of her *non-contrarian* sensibilities.

She espouses views that the US's current power structure likes.

Yeah, the woman who holds standard conservative positions on every single issue and tells the powerful exactly what they want to hear is absolutely a "contrarian"

CBS' next top editor to be Bari Weiss of The Free Press CBS' parent company will buy The Free Press and install Bari Weiss, its contrarian founder, as editor in chief of CBS News.

The French government lasted 13 hours and 47 minutes. We are ruled by children and we probably deserve it. I am disgusted.

Macron has no other path but to call a general election and open the door wide for the Rassemblement National, which he had promised to destroy.
Silver lining: if they’re in government in 2026, they may have already worn out their welcome by the 2027 presidential election.

"It’s a canopy. A f***ing canopy. That everyone thinks is a perfectly reasonable thing. And it’s taken five years, three planning applications, god knows how much expense, and now hundreds of pages of forms and three separate consultancies just to install something to stop the rain."
