Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.
This is what real journalism should do β hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

Love this story about one of today's Nobel winners, Mary Brunkow.

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

Latest bit of Montreal 'bikelash' sidesteps the facts to please bike-lane haters
The findings of a study about bike lanes vs car infrastructure have been twisted by a Montreal publication in a cheap bit of bikelash.
Everything Leslie Roberts said about bike lanes in #Montreal was completely wrong
Bike lanes move more people, at lower cost, than any other form of transit
Roberts discredits Ensemble & himself: he doesn't know what he's talking about

No modern books will ever compare to the smell of books from the 1950s and 60s. I dare say even earlier. And the literature too, it's not the same as it is today. I prefer the much more refined English versions of fairy tales and ghost stories.

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Waltersβ entire tenure as Superintendent, and itβs about damn time.
Also the education dept websiteβs being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.

As the people who insist otherwise try to burn the country, it's important to affirm that immigrants, from everywhere, are awesome, and America is better the more immigrants we have. You have to be just empty and vapid and unimaginably small to reject that.
