Boycott CBS.

Thread. Something nice happened to me yesterday: the conclusion - or maybe not - of a story of interconnectedness, that made the world feel momentarily very small and intertwined. The story begins on April 21 2024 on a walk I'd taken along the Jurassic Coast for research for a book I was writing.

Betty Reid Soskin, the National Park Service’s oldest ranger, has died. She was 104.

It will be interesting to see herring eventually spawn in the area. Kelp is essential for herring too. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Steves purchased the property to prevent it from closing. Many homeless people had come to depend on the Lynnwood Hygiene Center, which had operated rent-free on the property since 2020. n.pr/3MKbmJH

The phrase “knock on wood” - or “touch wood” in the UK - is an ancient one deriving from the belief that tapping on trees awakes the gods and spirits that reside within them and brings good luck.

15 people murdered. Days of rolling media coverage of the Bondi Beach terror attack massacre. 400 Palestinians murdered by Israel during the "ceasefire". Zero Australian media coverage. Israel is a terrorist state. Our politicians and media are complicit. #auspol #IsraeliTerrorism #GazaGenocide

Was just sent this. Fuck you, Go Bills.

60 MINUTES CORRESPONDENT: “Our story was screened 5x and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now is not an editorial decision, it is a political one.” #CBSNewsMAX #BariWeiss www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

Yeah, they're all lying.

It's been almost two days since the Epstein files were supposed to be released. Has President Clinton been arrested yet? Wasn't his name supposed to be all over the files? Isn't that what they said? #ReleaseTheUnredactedEpsteinFiles

A LOT of Teslas in Orlando and a big increase in "accidents" this past year "a 2023 Tesla was attempting to park when the vehicle accelerated &struck a woman who was putting away her items in her vehicle, a 2019 MINI. The Tesla also struck a sign & impacted other vehicles" Out Of Control #TESLA

I'm still learning the camera; this was just a test of the time lapse, probably zoomed in too much (with a built-in lens). I love how the cloud accepts and envelops the Moon, like it's passing through a cell membrane.

2025 highlighted the corruption in Washington and London, and how much control Netanyahu has over their weak spineless leaders. They sacrificed their dignity to support Israel’s genocide and mass destruction of Gaza. Thankfully private citizens spoke up and stood up for Gaza.

Bari Weiss is the logical endpoint of corporate media. This is what happens when people who hate journalism are in charge of it. The only way journalism works is when it’s independent from the power it’s supposed to hold to account, which means ownership can’t have anything to do with those in power

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

They are killing innocent people in ICE custody. Now we are in Germany. Someone do something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

‘60 Minutes’ correspondent says CBS’s Bari Weiss abruptly pulled segment on Trump deportations CBS shelves ‘60 Minutes’ story on Trump deportees at the last minute: ‘People are threatening to quit,’ staffers say www.cnn.com/2025/12/21/m...

Support independent media.

The easiest position in any company for artificial intelligence to replace is the CEO and the CFO. They certainly couldn't be any less heartless

He’s trying to fool all the people all the time. Let’s see how stupid we Americans are….Arguably, the bar is pretty low at this point.

As Rachel would say: "Why is that?"

This is a very astute observation. I hadn't thought about Keith Kellogg, he just disappeared from the scene. It makes perfect sense that Putin would want to fainthearted guy like Witkoff doing the negotiations. 🗽

A few reminders about the SCOTUS immunity decision for Presidents: It does not provide immunity for prior crimes. It does not provide immunity to the President's cabinet. Similar to Roe v. Wade, it can be overturned in the future.

Why did CBS delete this promo and cancel this from airing in full?

Share and tell CBS to air this! Sharyn Alfonsi, the veteran “60 Minutes” correspondent who reported a segment about migrants sent to the El Salvadoran torture prison CECOT, just sent a blistering letter to colleagues, sounding the alarm that Bari Weiss spiked the story for political reasons.

#SocialistSunday The Metropolitan Police have raided at least 5 pro Palestine supporters homes in the last 24 hours. This is where we are, arresting pacifists for opposing genocide

So. 🤦‍♂️ I get it. Make a statement and count on people having zero critical thinking skills. Because this? Is BS. "The first group knew nothing and cut Epstein off before his crimes came to light" Yeah, next...

For those that haven't figured it out yet, especially the media. If Trump is comfortable summarily executing, murdering, 104 civilians using our Navy, tearing down part of OUR White House, killing our economy with his tariffs, killing our insurance Why would he care about hiding the Epstein files?

Why would anyone risk themselves to go on 60 Minutes after this? How can viewers ever trust CBS News to report fairly on topics this White House is sensitive about?

“These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless.”

Oh very sad.💔 James Ransone, who played Ziggy in The Wire, killed himself. apnews.com/article/jame...

With this decision, CBS and Paramount deserve every bit of smoke and consumer backlash as ABC and Disney got for attempting to fire Jimmy Kimmel to appease Trump. Corporations that censor journalists and media to kowtow to fascism deserve all our ire. Money is the only language they understand.

Bari Weiss & CBS pulled the plug on 60 Minutes CECOT special just hours before it was scheduled to air. Men who had been sent there risked their lives to tell their stories, and they’ve been silenced by the regime. This article by The Guardian shines light on the torture & abuse they suffered:

Whoa. Expect resignations. This will probably be the end of 60 minutes. The best thing you can do is to remove the cbs app from your devices. Trust me, they will know when they lose apps. I already removed cbs news from my bookmarks and blocked them from my Bluesky and fb feed.

Precisely. Many decades ago CBS News was separate from CBS programming. The "suits" had no power over the content of the news. The news division was completely separate and had total autonomy to tell the truth. No longer. I wouldn't believe CBS News if they told me the Sun was shining at noon.

WSJ reports the internal email cited below. Journalist Sharyn Alfonso to 60 Minutes team on why they were pulling their story from 60 Minutes tonight. “Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct,” Alfonsi wrote

In an internal email, 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi said new editor in chief Bari Weiss had “spiked” the story and said the government was using silence to “VETO” stories.

Kudos to Sharyn Alfonsi for exposing the truth But Bari Weiss killing the 60 Minutes story about Trump sending innocent immigrants to CECOT is only part of the story The bigger issue is MAGA trying to take over all our broadcast networks and social media to spread their hateful propaganda

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

Donald Trump's character on Saturday Night Live slurred his way through a speech that mentioned Jeffrey Epstein and cognitive tests, as well as revealed why he added his name to the Kennedy Center for performing arts.
