Historians and citizens who say they are concerned about the Trump administration's pressure on the Smithsonian are working to document exhibits, as they exist today, throughout the museum network. n.pr/3Kdrsdy

Just published a story on how Black pastors have been talking about Charlie Kirk in their congregations. With @bellwak.bsky.social and @michelleboorstein.bsky.social wapo.st/46xXBnq

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

I'm guessing this is just the beginning on changes we'll see to vaccine recommendations www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

I find it fascinating that the major journalism organizations haven't rallied around @karenattiah.bsky.social. I'm not exactly sure why I'm paying dues when they won't stand up for journalists when it counts.

I would watch a doc just about this Goo Goo Dolls performance www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMeCtuRX/

American Girl announced Wednesday that its 2026 Girl of the Year is Raquel Reyes, a Mexican American 10-year-old from Kansas City, Missouri. Raquel Reyes’ family owns a paleteria in Kansas City, though her family lineage traces back to another famous American Girl doll.

The downfall of Gawker helped set the stage for everything we're experience today.

If you’re 65 or older, you may want to get a coronavirus vaccine this week — before the CDC’s vaccine advisers meet on Friday. Health reporter Lena Sun explains: https://wapo.st/46GDWmy

This isn't in my wheelhouse, but I'd love for someone to do a story on why in the year of our lord 2025 broadcast licenses still hold so much power when anyone can stream live on multiple platforms at any given time.

Mississippi police on Wednesday awaited autopsy results for a Black student found hanging from a tree at Delta State University, in a case that has ignited strong emotions in a state with a history of racist violence.

I’m still wrapping my head around the host of “The Man Show” now being considered some whacky liberal

The following is a statement from the WGA on ABC’s decision to pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’

If you’re rich and not a coward, this is what you’d refer to as a “market opportunity” to dominate a media ecosystem that’s about to be covered in grotesque government slop. To be a pop of color in a sea of beige will be easier than ever. People will flock to it. You gotta be a little brave, though.

Commentary: Mental health care is health care. It shouldn’t be any less available than physical health care, nor should anyone be penalized just because they asked for medical help.

I drove 20 minutes for mid shawarma 🫠

When journalism was cool. And risked everything to challenge power.

Sometimes I wish I could still apply to fellowships, but another part of me knows that if I were to somehow reset my journalism career right now, I'd never get to this place again.

What a true and proper mess we find ourselves in these days

Scoop: Status has obtained the termination letter The Washington Post sent to @karenattiah.bsky.social, in which it informed her that she was being fired for social media posts "about white men." Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/karen-atti...

The Washington Post's guild just put out this statement re: the unjust firing of colleague @karenattiah.bsky.social:

We, as an industry, used to have ovaries

Under President Trump, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has been transformed into a "grievance apparatus for white, straight, Christian people.”

If you're curious about what "cancel culture" actually is, look around at what's happening to Black journalists right now.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

The mortgage fraud claim against Lisa Cook is false, per documents obtained by Reuters. Bill Pulte's accusation, the sole pretext Trump used to fire her from the Fed, was that she claimed two homes as primary residence. These docs show she did not. www.reuters.com/world/us/fed...

In the 80s and 90s and before people who were outed as gay were sometimes murdered so it’s wild to see the media throw this speculation around like it’s nothing

The corrections and lawsuits on some of these stories are gonna be a doozy

This is a THREAD of people NOT FIRED. bsky.app/profile/atru...

An Iowa official defied the governor’s orders to fly flags at half-staff for Charlie Kirk, writing he wouldn't honor a man who "did so much harm"

Rubio has already sought to punish immigrants for speech. New legislation might let him do it for U.S. citizens.

The depravity of racism has no bottom.

Good question with an unsatisfying answer

every time I see a notable media person say something odd about the notable person who was killed this week, I remember how working at CJR taught me many white journalists find it easier to sympathize and empathize with right wing individuals than non-white journalists they actually work with

guys it's happening www.newsweek.com/groyper-char...

WSJ has now appended this lengthy editor's note to its original report. It notably contains zero contrition for the initial decision to spread such incendiary misinformation. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

Watching the cable news commentary on the bullet engravings is wild because none of these people seem to realize that the content of the engravings are indicative of extremely online meme brain rot

The 16-year-old who shot two students in a Colorado high school on the same day Charlie Kirk was killed was a virulent white supremacist and antisemite www.denverpost.com/2025/09/11/e...

NEW: No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way. That's what Ezra Klein said. We can condemn this heinous assassination but also recognize that with his 2020 election denialism and extremist rhetoric, Kirk built his movement with falsehoods and in a wrong and divisive manner.

Held in a jail cell for three days and nights, he was not allowed to make a phone call, see an attorney, appear before a judge, or take a shower to wash off pepper spray and tear gas that the agents had used www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

This story — which asks what happened to all of those newsroom DEI jobs, committees, and promises from 2020 — is the hardest one I've ever worked on. I hope you'll spend some time with it today. www.niemanlab.org/2025/09/from...

Between that Ayo interview and another interview calling Chris Evans a "failed actor" I'm shocked to see this kind of unprofessionalism played out where people are more interested in becoming stories than asking serious questions.

A National Guard report accidentally emailed to the Post says veterans and active-duty troops view the D.C. deployment with "shame and alarm" @alexhorton.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Washington D.C.! Next week on Sept. 18th, I will be in conversation with recently-released Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil at @busboysandpoets.bsky.social! Tickets are free and open to all! www.busboysandpoets.com/events/th-ev...

If one more company baits me with a 10% offer coupon if I hand over my email only to also be asked for my cell I'm gonna lose it.

You know it was bad if she’s okay going scorched earth
