“Ada managed to survive over two decades of dictatorship as an anti-Fascist because she possessed the pragmatism that marks the most effective resisters, who understand that when one avenue of opposition is no longer viable,it's time to find another” Ruth Ben-Ghiat open.substack.com/pub/lucid/p/...

❣️✨Thanks Netflix “The need for government approval also made Netflix extra vulnerable to the whims of President Trump, who demanded last week that the company kick a former Biden administration official off its board of directors.” www.wsj.com/business/med...

When you think about it for more than 5 seconds, it really is both insane and outrageous that *HILLARY CLINTON* - a woman who apparently has never met with nor corresponded with Jeffrey Epstein was one of the first people deposed.

❣️”No LLM, anywhere, in its current form, should be considered for use in a fully lethal autonomous weapon system. ❣️”Mass surveillance of US citizens? No thanks. Seems like a reasonable second redline.”

Breaking: House Oversight Democrats have the votes to force Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to testify before their panel about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, according to Rep. Ro Khanna.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power. The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

Nurul Amin Shah Alam crossed oceans to flee unimaginable violence, only to die here — where he should have been safe. The cruelty is endless.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

New reporting from the Miami Herald on how Epstein used his power, money, & influence to “infiltrate the justice system.” I do a deep dive into this incredible article, including eyebrow-raising relationships between the prosecutors and Epstein’s criminal defense team. youtu.be/tYdj-JwxJjo?...

❣️✨🇺🇸 Jess Piper.. “As Democrats, we have to stop pointing to rural Americans as the root of our problems. It is alienating, and it is mathematically wrong. Six million Californians voted for Trump in 2024. That's the entire population of Missouri.” open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

Rep. Ilhan Omar demanded an investigation of the arrest of her State of the Union guest, Aliya Rahman, who was removed after standing to protest President Trump. Rahman, a U.S. citizen, was forced out of her car by ICE officers in January in Minneapolis.

For years I’ve been begging for a comprehensive look at Carpenter Media and their whole deal and it dropped this morning; tales about an existential threat to local news in my hometown and others like it. From the Alaska resignations to mass layoffs to unrealistic quotas and ghost papers.

Background: Carpenter Media owns the Juneau Empire, the Homer News and Peninsula Clarion - where reporters and editors quit this year in protest of corporate leadership interfering with news, but the company has a much wider footprint of buying up news outlets and gutting them.

I was charmed by the discourse around this story about amazing working newsrooms around the country late last year — featuring scenes from the Juneau Empire office Sound Publishing sold and people they laid off. There’s something magical about a newsroom, and Alaska has increasingly few of those.

Dreaming of a better future for Alaska journalism; haunted by visions of the newsroom I gave years of my life to in ruins
