CBS News has reportedly disbanded its race and culture unit, which was formed in the wake of George Floyd's murder in 2020 NBC News eliminated its editorial teams for NBC Asian America, NBC BLK, NBC Latino and NBC OUT earlier this month

"'Germany Is Back' – and That Should Scare Us All" In its crackdown on pro-Palestine speech, Germany has normalized racism and state violence, reminding us this really is the country of the 1920s, again, writes James Jackson for Zeteo:

So, you agree? You think you're really pretty?

“Trump’s administration arrested Sami Hamdi following a social media campaign from far-right, Islamophobic figures.” New reporting from Zeteo on the latest example of this administration cracking down on speech on behalf of Israel. Against a British Muslim journalist on a valid visa:

Mockler: I’m 23 years old, and Gen Zers have spent all of our formative years living in a political system that’s purely dysfunctional. People in my generation see the president posting memes online rather than actually negotiating with the other side.

Yes, I saw 12 Monkeys. Why?

We live in a country where the media is focused more on who a Democratic mayoral candidate defines as his ‘aunt’ than on the DHS Twitter account putting out white nationalist propaganda and replying to Nazis online.

That's fucking stupid. I look away for twenty years, look back and you people have gotten capitalism all over everything.

I will never understand the comments across social media that are cheering on the potential starvation of roughly 42 million people that depend on SNAP. What a vile country. NO ONE deserves to be hungry.

"Mamdani's proposals, such as freezing the rent for some New York tenants, free buses and free child care, are not only feasible but also build off the foundations of previous New York City laws, political analysts told ABC News."

Here's my full interview with Jon Stewart on @thedailyshow.com.

The Category 5 storm is expected to cause “total structural failure” in parts of the island and unleash up to 40 inches of rain.

I am thinking of the people of Jamaica, and the many New Yorkers with loved ones there, as Hurricane Melissa — fueled by a warming ocean — grows into the strongest storm ever to bear down upon the island.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live. Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps: * Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled * Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

Great example in the hed of the dangers of reporting everything that "Trump says" and in the subhed of both-sidesing an issue about which there are not two sides.

My closing pitch to voters? “I will only live in this awful place if I rule over it”

For those not in Chicago: It would be hard to overstate how broad & intense the public reaction & activity against ICE’s kidnappings are. This is a movement of everyday people who are going to do everything in their admittedly limited power to make it harder for these people to take their neighbors.

Trump says Qatar leaders a 'big factor' in achieving 'incredible' Middle East peace

GOV. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “They’re talking about getting rid of the Voting Rights Act — that may likely happen in months… they’re rewriting history… ANTI-WOKE IS ANTI-BLACK… we’re not doing enough. We’re not calling this out.” Full: youtu.be/H5_tNkzX1yg?...

As Toni Morrison said, "the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work." But she also reminded us never to lose our capacity to be shocked. Part of my conversation on @ayman.msnbc.com earlier today.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker. And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows. No more.

But as @pbump.com put it so succinctly in a piece he wrote in late August in which he explained why he was *not* joining Substack: “There is value in helping institutions that are doing good, important work to build their power” – rather than helping Substack and the Silicon Valley elite.

Unsurprisingly, Substack has also pushed “The Free Press,” founded by Bari Weiss, one of the most disingenuous reactionary grievance entrepreneurs in the country, to becoming one of the most successful publications on the platform. I don’t want to contribute to the success of such a platform.

Please note that Democracy Americana is no longer on Substack. Come find my work on @steady.page: A privately owned, self-funded business, a real refuge from Silicon Valley venture capitalist domination. And the people who run it have their hearts and their politics in the right place.
