Who Owns the Media Who owns the 35 most powerful media companies in America? The Media Capitulation Index shows how these conglomerates came to dominate the U.S. media landscape. Using a chicken scale, Free Press rates their ability to defend democracy during a time of authoritarianism.

"Within days of the U.S. takeover, TikTok announced changes to its terms of service & privacy policies, allowing it to collect more sensitive demographic and location data from its users."

Free Press' Media Capitulation Index got a big update from @timkarr.bsky.social.

Here's the latest on TikTok:

I want to remind folks of something that’s still raw for me. After the 2024 loss, most Dems in Congress went quiet. You remember the silence. It was deafening.

Jasmine Crockett did the opposite. She stepped up early, got loud, and was never afraid to take on Trump.

The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape.

After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Bahahahahahahaha!

Holy shit!

Actual footage of Vince Guaraldi performing "Linus and Lucy". I'm gobsmacked that this exists, but utterly thrilled too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EMf...

This is so embarrassing.

The cartel drones Pam Bondi was sounding the alarm about during the hearing turned out to be… party balloons.

This administration is so incompetent.

How dangerous is it really to work for ICE? According to ICE’s own data, none of its officers have been killed by an immigrant in the agency’s history.

So classy.

The GOP’s “show us your papers” bill Is the latest effort to help Trump take over elections “If the SAVE Act were to pass, it would be the worst voter suppression law that Congress has ever enacted"

Breaking: House passes new version of SAVE Act, worst voter suppression bill considered by Congress. Could disenfranchise:

-21 million Americans w/out access to citizenship papers
-69 mil married women who took partner’s name
-21 mil w/out valid drivers license

So true! Thank you @timgrimm.bsky.social for such wonderful audio art!

Oh FFS!!!!!

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

ICE's Masks Are All a Lie Working for ICE is actually less dangerous than being an elementary school student in America.

Here's what DHS doesn't want you to know: Working for ICE is one of the safest jobs in America — and last year was the second-safest year for the agency on record.

And the doxxing? It hasn't actually happened even once.

The masks are justified by a lie. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-s-mask...

ICE's Masks Are All a Lie Working for ICE is actually less dangerous than being an elementary school student in America.

"Which is to say: Being an elementary school student in the United States is more deadly than being an ICE officer.

The leading cause of “on-duty death” of ICE officers? Covid." www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-s-mask...

For Foghorn Leghorn to be the one to call Nutlick out on this is so crazy!!!

What the. . .what?!?

Thank you for all your hard work Maya!

@elonmusk on X: For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years. The mission of SpaceX remains the same: extend consciousness and life as we know it to the stars. It is only possible to travel to Mars when the planets align every 26 months (six month trip time), whereas we can launch to the Moon every 10 days (2 day trip time). This means we can iterate much faster to complete a Moon city than a Mars city. That said, SpaceX will also strive to build a Mars city and begin doing so in about 5 to 7 years, but the overriding priority is securing the future of civilization and the Moon is faster. 08 Feb 26

@TPUSA on X: UPDATE: Due to licensing restrictions, we are unable to stream The All-American Halftime Show on X. Head on over to our YouTube channel tonight around 8PM ET to watch the full show 🇺🇸 08 Feb 26

Daily Mail: Elon Musk's X down during Bad Bunny's halftime show at the Super Bowl Story by Laura Parnaby For Dailymail.Com • 1h Social media app X has gone down during Bad Bunny's highly-anticipated halftime show at the Super Bowl. The Elon Musk-owned platform crashed for users across the US, according to more than 25,000 reports on the Downdetector website Sunday evening.

@@realDonaldTrump on Truth Social: The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence. Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World. This “Show” is just a “slap in the face” to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day — including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History! There is nothing inspirational about this mess of a Halftime Show and watch, it will get great reviews from the Fake News Media, because they haven’t got a clue of what is going on in the REAL WORLD — And, by the way, the NFL should immediately replace its ridiculous new Kickoff Rule. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP Feb 08, 2026, 8:00 PM

While you were watching the game

- Elon Musk abandoned his grand plans for colonizing Mars, exposing all his previous promises as lies

- TPUSA's big halftime show plans crashed

- X went down

- President Trump cried about the halftime show as much as everyone expected him to

Bad Bunny did more for this nation in 15 minutes than Donald Trump has in a decade. I really believe that.

Why is the Trump Administration fighting harder to arrest 5-year-old children than pedophiles in the Epstein files?

The original ‘wine moms’ are in Ohio. They’re mobilizing to support Haitians in Springfield. Katie Paris founded Red, Wine & Blue to harness suburban women's political power — now more than 600,000 members are deploying it to oppose ICE in their communities.

Red Wine & Blue now has more than 600,000 members. Its members and affiliated groups held 4,000 events last year, most of them in person. On Tuesday, they raised more than $100k in less than an hour to support Haitians in Springfield, OH & oppose ICE. 19thnews.org/2026/02/wine... via @19thnews.org

Each Olympics, @nexton9news.bsky.social roots for a nation that's a longshot for a medal.

2026: Andorra

Only just saw this today; gave me a much needed giggle and earned you a follow! Thank you!
