If youโ€™re not horrified, youโ€™re not paying attention!

Listen to a MN resident, โ€œIโ€™m immediately concerned for other states. If 700 agents leave here, theyโ€™ll go somewhere else. One kid pulled off a bus or out of school is too many. Everyone is afraid & is hiding.

The Washington Post and the Limits of Mourning It is time to move from grief to revival.

Bezos gutted the staff of the Washington Post within days of the theatrical premiere of his $75 million bribe to the Trump Family. Samuel Freedman argues that it's time to spin up a nonprofit news organization in DC on the model of the Baltimore Banner www.liberalcurrents.com/the-washingt...

When DHS operates without oversight, democracy itself is at risk. - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington ICE and CBP are increasingly operating outside of established legal constraints without meaningful oversight.

NEW: When the DHS resists transparency and accountability, the damage does not stop with the communities they targetโ€”democracy itself is at risk.

And if oversight fails here, it will fail elsewhere.

NEW: Statement from NAACP president

"Donald Trumpโ€™s racist video is disgusting and utterly despicable. Trump is obviously desperate to distract us from the Epstein files and his rapidly failing economy. You know who isnโ€™t in the Epstein files? Barack Obama"

The White House taken down the racist post about the Obamas with this short explanation: "A White House staffer erroneously made the post. It has been taken down."

A staffer posted it. From Trump's account. At 11pm.

Sure.

He's racist, we been knew that. That's what the conniptions over "woke" and "DEI" and immigrants and everything else has always been about.

You wanna be useful? Rebuke this shit with deeds and hire us. Stand with us. Respect us and our leadership.

I don't need pity or condolences. I need a job.

Columbia cancelled my 2024 class on Race and Media, so I decided to teach it independently anyway.

I made a conscious decision to include whiteness in discussions about race.

What we learned is how much white people have been kept in the dark about white martyrs for civil rights.

This is today in America: trump is ripping apart families & communities and regular folks are stepping up to help. Sorry to bust the MAGA bubble, but thereโ€™s no secret funding behind the protests or the neighborhood group chats, itโ€™s millions of people furious doing what they can to help.

even the younger, more aggressive progressive wing of the party doesn't really focus on media reform much; it's just kind of a peripheral issue despite the obvious impact of letting Republicans replace journalism with propaganda across AM radio, broadcast TV, cable TV, and now the internet
