the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

There are many many many more cases of this among top male “thinkers” journalists in the industry. everyone including their employers are protecting these men.

Elon Musk is trying to run the federal govt like a tech company

The Trump administration sent an email to air traffic controllers urging them to resign. “We encourage you to find a job in the private sector,” the email says.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Staffing was 'not normal' in air traffic control tower at time of midair collision, FAA report obtained by AP says.

did you all not read project 2025? cuz it shows.

"The editing became extremely intrusive. It was very much toning down of my voice, toning down of the feel, and a lot of pressure for what I considered false equivalence.” And, increasingly, attempts “to dictate the subject.” - @pkrugman.bsky.social

Local government officials around the U.S. signal they won't assist — and in some cases they'll actively oppose — the Trump administration's efforts to conduct a massive deportation of migrants.

this is not good

If you’re a federal employee and want to talk about DOGE, my Signal username is annamerlan.30 and I simply love to chat with people on their non-work devices

This is how you do it...

Here’s the list of the 78 Biden-era executive orders that have been reversed by Trump.

One of Trump's first moves on Monday night was to rescind an executive order by former President Biden that had provided agencies with “information, resources and a methodology to assess” diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility in their workforce.

That was a Nazi salute. Like, a real life compulsory Dr. Strangelove Nazi salute. We’re all gonna have to process that, and decide if that’s what we’d like to engage with for the next 4 years. We had a door no. 2. and that was closed. But maybe think about reconfiguring a door no. 3.

"By withdrawing, the United States would join Iran, Libya and Yemen as the only four countries not party to the agreement, under which nations work together to keep global warming below levels that could lead to to environmental catastrophe." www.nytimes.com/2025/01/20/c...

“This is unconstitutional.”

It feels worth just, like, saying this, but every major social media company in the country is now frantically sucking up to Trump. I'm sure this won't have any particular consequences www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I toured the #EatonFire today in Altadena. I’ve covered wildfire since 2013 and this amount of destruction is some of the worst I’ve seen. What hits me over and over again is what’s left: the things people adorned their houses with…

Hi! Wow what a start to 2025, already. I finally had some time to sit down and plan out my year workwise. I am open for any audio or story editing/producing projects. I have experience story producing documentaries, narrative podcasts, etc. I also report, edit and produce podcasts. Let’s talk!

I had a lot of people asking me so I wrote an explainer: Here's how you can help the incarcerated firefighter battling the blazes in Southern California this week: www.latimes.com/california/s...

what a birthday week.

Josie Huang, one of the nicest and most talented people in L.A journalism, lost her home in the Eaton Fire. She, her husband Kevin (also a lovely and talented journo) and their two children will be picking up the pieces. Please consider helping them out: www.gofundme.com/f/support-th...

Amid all the tragedy, I couldn’t help but remember that Rodney King’s family home is in Altadena and I need to hit them up and see if they’re ok.

Is it time to reassess Google's deal to fund California newsrooms? @mattdpearce.com told @kqednews.bsky.social he's worried about the public funding provisions. “We need a law, not lobbying mayhem.” www.kqed.org/news/1202040...

isn’t it ironic, don’t you think?

South Korea’s president, Yoon Suk Yeol, had lost his country’s trust and approval long before he was impeached. Here’s how.

We are beyond thrilled to announce the reboot of our Transom Traveling Workshop on audio storytelling -- a week of intensive training for beginners in beautiful Catalina, CA March 23-30, 2025. Applications open now. Scholarships available! transom.org/2024/traveli...

A while ago, I met with a chronic pain advocate. They were very direct about when you piss off the chronic pain community, you piss off folks who have nothing but time to think & to connect, particularly online. And advised us not to be cavalier in how we report on them. That stuck with me.

“…far less has been written about Daniel Penny’s vigilante violence against a man whose only threat was a loud voice on a train…Do we only reserve our ire for those who would strike down rich white men protecting company profits?”

Nikki Giovanni’s work burst onto the scene in the 1960s already fully formed—it was concerned, as much of the Black Arts poetry of the day was, with injustice and liberation, but also exhibited her homegrown humor and a Southern sensibility.

It took only ~2.5 hrs for the National Assembly to gather a majority of members (190 of 300) and generate a unanimous vote (190 of 190) to vote down the emergency martial law. The law says the president "shall comply" with parliament's vote, but doesn't specify a time frame.

Suing spotify for some made up thing and not because they pay artists like .00003 cents per stream is such a drake move

White people, it’s not enough to not be racist. Y’all need to HATE racism like Kendrick Lamar hates Drake. Commit to the goddamned bit.

We were in bits when we saw this open letter on Friday, put together by a group of audio-makers. It’s Sunday morning as we write this and it already has well over 800 signatures. 😭 docs.google.com/document/d/1...

There was something about the magazine Giant Robot’s affection for Asian culture that drew in many young people who were searching for a context. It was very serious about some things, and not at all serious about others.

great

this is so sad. the way they have so many driveway moments of tape 😭

The truth is, none of us really know what the next four years will look like. It’s incredibly difficult to predict what happens next. It does not feel good.

If we don't fight for change and build systems to amplify more women and progressive voices online, we will be stuck with a media landscape that continues to exacerbate inequality and warps our political landscape for the worse. www.usermag.co/p/the-majori...
