On Christmas help some children who don’t have big piles of presents if you can ❤️

I was interviewed as a “privacy expert” by a NYT journalist. I made the mistake of talking about something personal and became an anecdote in the Styles story instead. My quotes didn’t sound like me and my expert quotes were mixed into my personal anecdote in a contextually wrong way.

Such an important reflection on the not-new problem, in journalism, of a compelling story or the literary art of writing being privileged over accuracy. I had no idea how widespread this was, but it seems tied to today’s problems w serious journalists being undermined by propagandists

It brings me no pleasure to report that my beat — offshore wind power — skyrocketed to the top of new sites today. I just published a scoop about Trump's halt on 5 in-progress wind farms capable of powering 2.7 million homes. Here's a mega🧵 🔗 2nd post is a link to my scoop 🎁 last post is a gift

My whole timeline is made up of folks watching a 60 Minutes report the Trump administration tried to kill and unredacting Epstein files that weren't supposed to have been posted yet. Can't stop the signal.

Americans having to bootleg broadcast news about our government’s offshored concentration camp is a level of fascism that immediately precedes democratic societies dropping leaflets on us from weather balloons.

Bari only pulled this program after the promos started airing, which means she probably got a phone call. So she's not just bad at her ostensible job of running CBS news, but she's also bad at her *actual* job of running interference for the Trump admin

TIL about the Fries Test for disability in fiction, that a work has > 1 disabled character, with a narrative purpose beyond a nondisabled character’s success, w/o disability eradicated by cure or killing. I got We Will Rise Again for the stories, I stay w it for the reflections 1/2

Amazing news that 91.4% of people enrolled in Ryan White have suppressed viral loads. RW is the gov't program for people living w/ HIV who are uninsured/underinsured. It funds CBOs to provide wrap-around services. This number is the result of yrs of activism, organizing, & community-led care.

DEADLINE IS TOMORROW 12/18

a16z gave a million dollars to a phone farm that's flooding TikTok with AI-generated influencers. A hacker contacted 404 Media to reveal what these accounts are and what products they're promoting www.404media.co/hack-reveals...

Did you know that Workday is being sued because an AI tool they sell for hiring actually discriminates against marginalized people? This is my shocked face.

GAZA IS DROWNING IN RAIN WATER AND THEY ARE ALL IN TENTS AND ISRAEL IS STILL FIRING ON PEOPLE AND THIS ISN'T A MAJOR NEWS STORY BECAUSE OF RACISM

Stephen Miller is employing state terror in service of the open goal of shifting the ethnic mix of the country. In numerous ways he's doing this at the expense of public safety. We spent weeks reporting on Miller's real aims. Here's the result. We hope you'll read: newrepublic.com/article/2041...

In a parting blow to NYC's police oversight agency, Eric Adams has appointed, as the agency's interim head, the guy who has spent the last year undercutting its mission.

For the second year in a row, the wealth gains for the 100 richest Americans exceeded what ALL American households spent on groceries combined. ~$995B for billionaires vs ~$775B in total grocery spending. We have an oligarchy and inequality problem masquerading as an affordability crisis.

Always wait for the NPR "but" and then switch it the fuck off. Nothing better than Mammon-worshipers and ICE contractors telling a Catholic priest in a poor diocese what's sacrilegious and (perhaps the worst sin imaginable) POLITICALLY DIVISIVE.

This from @ryanbort.bsky.social @andrewperez.bsky.social and me is one of the things I was most proud of from my three and a half years at Rolling Stone For starters, it was a print mag feature that underscored via original reporting and the public record how vastly the trump personality cult has…

"It's not over. Not by a long shot.…But, on Thursday, a series of developments only connected insofar as they are pieces in Trump's authoritarian project show the reality: Trump's authoritarian gambit is a house of cards." New from @lawdorknews.bsky.social. www.lawdork.com/p/abrego-gar...

ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground. Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse. Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

This home is the last thing protecting my children. I’m terrified of not being able to keep this roof over my family heads.💔😓 (Still need £474) We’ve already been through so much loss after the genocide,😔 please donate what you can and share to other kind hearts.🥹

Ruaa is once again asking for people to contact Bluesky to ask for the return of her account. She was targeted by a literal Neo Nazi (88 in the profile) prior to her suspension and has been on here for well over a year following the rules.

turns out that was a job interview

This is such a crucial reflection, especially that third point about “reparations are not ‘charity’”, but the rich history of how we got here & the reality that the fate of the minority world (wealthy nations) is necessarily linked to the fate of all people are also so critical. Listen to this guy!

After gov shutdown + ongoing reduction in SNAP benefits (delayed, reduced, or cut due to stricter eligibility reqs), our neighbors r going w/o basic necessities to make ends meet. When systemic support falters, community-based mutual aid’s a critical lifeline Donate @ bit.ly/gmafund (link in bio)

If this succeeds then one-third of West Africa will be under military rule.

I wrote that siding with Trump on this “would not be a difference of opinion, an alternative path, or even a politicized decision. It would be a decision effectively overturning a key portion of the Fourteenth Amendment, and it would need to be treated as such.”

This is all-hands on deck. RFK Jr. wants to destroy vaccination in the US. COVID and HBV vaccination were the first step. These diseases WILL come back. And your personal vaccination status is important, but so is the coverage in your community. So up your game and fight. www.vox.com/2015/3/25/82...

This is stomach-turning, and giving Chinese Exclusion Act

Most useless "deliberative body" in the sense that it actually has tons of constitutionally granted power and it just doesn't use it at all. On the bright side, Cassidy wanted to be a Senator to increase his prestige level and now he'll just be remembered as the guy who hurt thousands of children.

after nearly a year of covering mostly what gets labeled a Trump administration “distraction”—threatening immigrants and trans people; empowering white nationalists —you know what if (what if), that being what Trump ran on and what Trump is doing, this is the actual substance of the Trump presidency

There are a lot of obscene things about this story, but the fact that there is a GoFundMe for this baby rather than millions of dollars dedicated to his lifelong care by the state of Georgia is right up there at the top. The state forced this child to be born into a life of pain and procedures.

I stan a no-fucks-to-give Halle Berry. Also, Newsome is a garbage reactionary centrist, so may he be on the receiving end of all the smoke until the Dems settle on someone at least marginally less toxic

The media and especially he new york times blared about an impending recession during 200 out of 208 weeks under biden. Bloomberg in Oct 2022 claimed it was 100% certain. There’s not a peep from these chuds now

It’s always bracing to see just how evil the “lesser of two evils” is. Reminds me of Biden saying, in the shadow of massive public putty against police violence, that we should fund police more. Maybe the people deserve a flavor of good rather than a gradient of depravity

My favorite part of visiting the Louvre was learning how it became a public museum. I’m curious if any librarians, curators, architects, etc. have worked up plans for converting the White House, Silicon Valley mansions, etc. into public libraries and museums
