The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

ultimately, no one even grieved Charlie Kirk. he was just another thing for the worst people on earth to get outraged over. and when the outrage of real events wasn't enough, they invented new ones. not even his wife saw his death as anything other than an opportunity.

BILL BURR: “If someone’s working 160 hours a month and can’t make their rent, you’re not paying them enough. Maybe you should just be worth $900,000,000… How does a CEO take a f*cking 8 figure bonus and none of your employees have dental insurance?”

Hegseth and his ilk are why it was dumb for Democratic senators to vote for any of his nominees. Rubio joined the Cabinet without A SINGLE DISSENTING VOTE

Oh.

Also too: Imagine being the career officers watching the Admiral get thrown under the bus.

"My mentor always tells me, 'Kim, dogs don’t bark at parked cars." They’re coming after critical race theory, 1619, intersectionality because these ideas mobilized people. They gave them the language to actually articulate what they were seeing with their own eyes," says Kimberlé Crenshaw.

Nuzzi's fawning coverage/access game w Ivanka & Hope Hicks was so transparent - in real time - that nothing about her lack of ethical compass is surprising. But christ on a cracker, if I couold see it so clearly why can't the editors and publishers who continue(d) to hire her? Or don't they care?

Terrific thread. Loomis is a great follow if you are interested in labor history. @erikloomis.bsky.social

Between this and routing the Moms4Idiocy gang, Bucks County did the thing yesterday.

The shout out to Eugene Debs made me jump off the sofa. But the sly knife twist of quoting "great man" Mario Cuomo just minutes after flaying the skin off of degenerate spalpeen Andrew was pure chef's kiss.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

I've seen this movie and it ends pretty badly.

A thread to give a few chuckles. (Nerds only. Mea culpa.)

Reagan ruined everything. It’s a fundamental truth.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification. I glanced down at the message. “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began. So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

Trump's long held fantasy of executing his Veep still unrequited. Pity.

Chattanooga was poppin’ 🎉 #NoKingsInAmerica 🇺🇸

Already thousands are flooding the streets of Chattanooga for the peaceful No Kings protest — in the heart of a red state. The message is thunderous and clear: America is DONE with Trump’s tyranny. The people are rising #NoKings

Thousands are flooding the streets of Chattanooga, Tennessee, a deep red state, to protest Trump’s king-sized ego and authoritarian grip. This isn’t a fringe movement. This is No Kings Day in action. America’s had enough. The crown is cracking.

Seriously @govpritzker.illinois.gov ... you expect our support when your state cops are pulling this shit? Get the fuck outta here with your performative bullshit.

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.
