Did they get an unwanted U2 album as well?

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

ICE is firing pellets and pepper balls at journalists in Broadview outside Chicago today, but they're local journalists so it feels like the national media will not care at all. I hope I'm wrong.

A divide in journalism right now that's worth watching is between reporters who understand how bad things are but are mindful of their reputation and not wanting to be perceived as too extreme or hyperbolic and reporters who feel things are so urgent they have to use urgent, clear language.

A byline on a big scoop last weekend looked both familiar and strange — and it tells us a lot about what Jeff Bezos and Will Lewis have done to the Washington Post this year. (And OK, maybe I did compare the new editorial board to “congealed Cream of Wheat.”) www.cjr.org/laurels-and-...

This is Washpost Opinion's takeaway from Trump's speech at the Charlie Kirk funeral. No mention of him saying, "I hate my opponent." No mention of Trump's role in fomenting the January 6 riot. Just unbelievable how bad that editorial board has become. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

ICE is calling on Americans to shut up and accept ICE's violence against immigrants. If we don't, they say, we're responsible for attacks on ICE. I have another idea: Let's stop *all* the violence, both by and against ICE.

I learned of Nexstar when they bought 2 of my local stations and they ran the exact same newscast with only a few anchors swapped out. One of them used to be a great local news station until they sold their souls to Trump. They were the ones who broke the identity of Ashley "Headshot" Bibitt too.

I’m at the New Yorkers Against ICE rally in Foley Square with hundreds of others. Earlier today ICE agents threw a grieving wife of a detainee to the ground inside 26 Federal Plaza, just steps from here. Elected officials @bradlander.bsky.social, @jumaane.bsky.social and others are speaking.

Another big move in Trump terror memo that must be explicitly named: expanding from “antifa” to “anti-fascist,” then naming state monopoly on violence—that’s the wonk term for its armed forces—as immune from charges of fascism. To call a cop a fascist, this says, is itself a crime.

The DC grand jury would have nixed this

You don’t say

If they had a right-wing, “tough-on-crime” coded mayor there would be endless national profiles about him and how he finally brought sanity back to Chicago.

Folks had no idea who owns their local TV stations - until large, faceless corporations, Sinclair and Nexstar, said they can't watch Jimmy Kimmel because of politics This is why they've been warning us: media consolidation is a threat to democracy. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/jimm...

Sherrill in 2025 really does remind me of Kerry in 2004 — they’re coasting on a military background that voters just don’t care about while her opponent is savaging her as an out-of-touch elitist liberal. As a NJ resident, I’m begging the Democrats to get their shit together

I agree with @willbunch.bsky.social that we need to be concerned with the acquisition of our national and local media by billionaires who openly ally with Trump. share.inquirer.com/M1PEMM

What are the names and ages of the dead and injured from yesterday's shooting at the Texas ICE facility? What was their story? Does anyone care? @washingtonpost.com

Remember that the Trump Administration demands you idolize these agents and not condemn them. But they’re Gestapo trash.

I'm struggling to contain my anger over the government's handling of the ICE shooting in Dallas - specifically, the refusal to publicly identify three human beings who were killed or seriously wounded These monsters do everything possible to dehumanize refugees. We can't let them get away with it

One interesting question: Did Homan report the $50k on his *STATE* income taxes? You have to report your income — even if it’s an illegal bribe. And if not: Could be an opportunity for state tax fraud charges in NY….

Luckily, Oswald wrote "Magic" on one of the bullets.

At least we can feel pretty confident there won’t be any conspiracy theories about a sniper in Dallas

Could not agree more- all they wanted us peon citizens to know is a) anti-ICE markings!! (need a lot more evidence) and b) “no law enforcement was harmed” as if those killed or wounded are less human

Karen Attiah, a Washington Post opinion writer fired this month for her social media posts about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, has filed a grievance arguing that she should have been allowed to share her views on news events under the company’s labor agreement and social media policy.

"The "God Bless the USA Bible" ... includes only the Bill of Rights (Amendments 1-10), intentionally leaving out Amendments 11-27, which includes those that abolished slavery, gave women the right to vote, and protected voting rights."

They ran the exact same playbook with Reagan. I wrote a book about it, "Tear Down This Myth." The funny thing is that the myth Reagan was a lot to the right of the actual Reagan, and God only knows how they'll spin Kirk. Anything to win elections and stay in power

On Rosh Hashanah at synagogue yesterday, I found myself praying for Mariam Abu Dagga, a 33 year old AP reporter killed in August while working in Gaza. Dagga, a mother of a 12 year old boy, has evacuated her son to the UAE, but Dagga stayed behind in Gaza doing her job as a reporter for AP.

I don’t always agree with Bunch’s takes but this one is spot on. We must fight back every time.
