There are "GenZ" protests in Kenya, Bangladesh, Nepal and now Morocco.

These deliberately leaderless youth movements share the same message: Stop stealing our future! Start respecting our human rights!

Authoritarianism is on the rise, but it seems, so are the youth!

Does anyone know of grants for travel & accommodations for people from the Global South to be able to attend policy forums?

Working with some folks on a great opportunity to host a panel, but it's unfunded and my colleagues are current and former displaced people. Any help is appreciated.

There's the People's World Cup and then there's FIFA's World Cup.

I wonder how the sponsors feels about the emerging backlash, presumably coming from the very customers they want to reach with their sponsor dollars... Coca-Cola, Adidas, Hyundai, Visa, how you feeling?

Excellent news.

Love this. We need to act in community to FEEL and know we are not alone.

To do it with joy watching Trinity Rodman and Gift Monday tearing it up on the field seems like the a really good way to remind yourself that you are part of much larger community who believes in human dignity and rule of law

"The roving patrols and impromptu interrogations have been a striking departure from the understanding that the Constitution allows citizens to remain silent and places limits on who officers can question, hold and detain."

Jean-Luc Godard's Band A Part logo

if we're doing Band of Outsiders, the logo would be a pretty badass crest

Actress Anna Karina smokes a cigarette as she makes eye contact with the camera.

If not for EU health regulations, the crest would include an image of Anna Karina looking you dead in the eye while smoking a cigarette.

This is the disgusting cruelty we are able to witness. The cruelty they hide in the detention centers is even more vile than this assault that was captured on camera.

All of it under the color of law.

At the same time, mergers among media companies exploded in frequency. Disney purchased ABC and ESPN. Westinghouse merged with Viacom, combining CBS with UPN, MTV and Nickelodeon. Comcast merged with NBCUniversal (MSNBC’s parent company). In 1983, 90% of American media was owned by 50 media companies. By 2012, that number was 6. Today, after the Paramount-Viacom merger in 2019, that number is just 5. Consolidation in the technology sector means that most of the major digital media platforms are also in the hands of a few major corporations, from Youtube (owned by Google) to Twitch (Amazon) to X (Elon Musk). “When the government has allowed for decades of consolidation of media and technology companies,” says Gigi Sohn, former nominee to the FCC during the Biden administration, “it becomes a lot easier for authoritarian government to exercise control because there are just fewer entities to pressure.”

This consolidation is only getting worse. Earlier this year, Paramount, the owner of CBS, was purchased by Skydance Media, whose founder and CEO David Ellison is the son of pro-Trump billionaire Larry Ellison. Now, CNBC reports, the younger Ellison is planning a bid for one of the other four remaining media titans, Warner Brothers Discovery, which owns CNN and HBO Max. And the Wall Street Journal, citing “people familiar with the matter,” reports that the elder Ellison, through his company Oracle, would be a lead investor in a consortium that will receive an 80% share in TikTok’s new U.S. business. If these moves come to fruition, pro-Trump (or at least Trump-friendly) billionaires will control TikTok, X, Facebook, CBS, CNN, Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post.

In 1983, 90% of U.S. media was owned by 50 companies. By 2012, that number was 6. Today, it's just 5.

Decades of media consolidation made it "a lot easier for authoritarian government to exercise control," consumer advocate Gigi Sohn says.

Exactly. I did a podcast interview with @convergencemag.com about how to build narrative infrastructure that will be coming out soon -- and we're releasing a "Narrative Infrastructure for Narrative Power" framework alongside that. Watch this space.

Tweet From Obama mentioning my firing from the Washington post. Wirh a photo of me

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama.

His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful.

Now he is tweeting in support of me.

This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*.

Or used to work.

This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.
