Don’t. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers. What are we doing here? It’s not journalism, whatever it is.

Learned yesterday that AI monitors Bluesky "Starter Packs" to determine who to cite for academic expertise. So I'm starting one for Media History. I'm too busy to search for every name. If you're a media historian nominate yourself in the comments and I'll add you.

When Marcie puts you in her Starter Packs, it is a great honor and it implies a Humble TRUST that you will embrace these friends and do no harm. Thank You for including me in yours! 🦋💙💯🔮 Thank You! @mlipsitt.bsky.social You are a true 🦋 friend, and resist leader! go.bsky.app/FZxpcRx

When you hear the Chief Liar say, “I don’t care” you know he’s telling the truth.

So true, Marcie, every American child must MATTER!!💙🌟💙 I’m honored to be included in your wonderful starter packs!! Everyone should check out these phenomenal people, follow and share!!🤩💫🤩💫 @mlipsitt.bsky.social

Rest isn’t just sleep. Sometimes rest is letting yourself stop performing strength for a minute. Sometimes it’s admitting you’re tired. That honesty hits different. #blackstandardcollective

There’s something deeply disrespectful about alarms. I set them. I know they’re coming but wake up offended like someone slapped me with responsibility. #blackstandardcollective

I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to be a pro-democracy voice in a sea of both sides coverage. Since then the legacy media has gotten worse. Subscribe now to support its work. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Climate news: Group project where half the class is begging to start and the other half is arguing about whether the project even exists. (Second group also: drunk, groping kids, spewing hate, deporting people, spitting). #climate

You better believe Swalwell would still have a shot at governor if he ran as a Republican.

I get that “Mexico now has universal healthcare” sounds exciting, but y’all, Mexico has had universal healthcare for a while. It’s just through multiple systems. What Sheinbaum did is to allow Systems A & B, use C’s hospitals and viceversa. It’s great, but it’s also not this crazy historic thing.

Best of luck ousting your authoritarian, Hungary! We are watching.

Tragic.

BOOM! South Australia's power prices have plummeted as they near 100% renewables, proving to the world that relying on wind and solar with battery back-up is possible, more reliable and costs people less. THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis. #EnergyRevolution

Good morning!

How the fuck is the president and Secretary of State at a UFC fight in Miami while war negotiations affecting the world economy are falling apart. And I know that MFer isn’t going to try to play golf tomorrow too.

I have a long night in front of me. But for those asking how to stay informed about Trump's latest attack on voting and the legal cases that will follow, my advice is to subscribe to Democracy Docket. I started it for times just like this. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

There’s a whole generation of Black girls stepping into brilliance with no blueprint, no safety net, just raw talent and stubborn hope. Imagine what they could do if the world stopped treating their potential like an afterthought? Well? #BlackStandardCollective

i want to remind folks that while a third of Americans still support Trump, our history shows that 1/3 of citizens opposed leaving the monarchy in 1780s, 1/3 were good with slavery in 1860s, 1/3 opposed womens right to vote in 1900s, 1/3 opposed civil rights in 1960s.

To understand the deep institutional failure of legacy media in protecting democracy, please read this. Then share it. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/leg...

Pete Hegseth speaking on Fox News in 2019 about an American soldier who admitted to the extrajudicial execution of an alleged Taliban bombmaker: “If he committed premeditated murder … then I did as well. What do you think you do in war?” www.mediamatters.org/pete-hegseth...

It is very funny that Trump is blowing up a possible opportunity for californias jungle primary system to lock out democrats because he can't help himself from endorsing a former Fox News host.

Pete Hegseth needs to go, NOW.   Since the start of Trump's war in Iran, Hegseth has — without justification — continued firing some of our top military leaders.    Our service members deserve better than a power-tripping warmonger who thinks war is a big video game.  www.axios.com/2026/04/03/h...

Trump is clearly unfit to be President. But do not let that explain away the evil of his threatening war crimes against the Iranian people, on Easter Sunday no less.  We cannot let Trump normalize this.

Ron DeSantis has empowered hundreds of conservation police to work directly with ICE.

ICE agents came to a military base and grabbed the newlywed wife of a soldier who's about to deploy. The wife came to the U.S. as a toddler. She has no criminal record. None of this is how it used to work. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/05/u...

1) I am African and lived and reported from the continent. 2) Again, I wrote and covered Africa in the editorial section for years. 3) you can google what happened to me and why the editorial page purged all of its full time Black writers. Thanks for playing, Planet Bob. Better luck next time.

Happy birthday Danny Kortchmar ! Love you. #kootch 🎸

Right wingers from every country are way more loyal to each other than with their fellow countryfolk.

👇🎯 Today in "neither our media nor our political system is designed to deal with a far right authoritarian party" Just unbelievable comprehensive professional failure from the entire DC press corps.

Amazingly, it seems like every Sunday night we get an Axios report that a peace deal is imminent.

Good article. I visited the same factory and was equally impressed.

* YEMEN'S IRAN-ALIGNED HOUTHIS SAY THEY CARRIED OUT AN ATTACK AGAINST ISRAEL ON MONDAY @reuters.com

Having a little mid morning starter pack. Good work @claynobles.bsky.social

Iran destroyed a US Air Force E-3 Sentry in an airstrike on a Saudi Arabian base. There are only about 15 of these aircraft, valued at approximately $500 mill each, and losing one is a serious hit to the U.S. ability to detect and track threats at long range. And there’s a Russia connection… 1/2

Sen. @warren.senate.gov and Sen. Josh Hawley have introduced a bill to break up companies that own health insurers and medical providers. "Love it," says @mcuban.bsky.social. "They control everything. Literally what those companies do defines the cost of healthcare in this country."

“This is the most criminally minded war plan in the history of war plans. There was intent, criminal intent from the very start, so this was criminal and incompetent.” Very well said 👏👏👏👏

Jessica Craven: What a triumph. EIGHT MILLION PEOPLE ATTENDED NO KINGS, ALL! That’s a record. Don’t think for a second it doesn’t matter because it does so so much. Trump was watching. Now they all know where we stand. It makes a world of difference.

This is beautiful. Be intentional with kindness Make connections Motivate, Elevate and Celebrate.
