Very few journalists are financially independent like Marisa is. A lot more could be but it takes a shitload of courage on the reporting side and a shitload of shameless promotion on the marketing side and not many are up for the task. We must back the ones who are with cash.

Pope Leo XIV: "I often wonder, even though the teaching of Sacred Scripture is so clear about the poor, why many people continue to think that they can safely disregard the poor." "Dilexi te"

"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage." I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

Delete the original please. There's enough misinformation out there. Let's not add to it to feed the outrage machine.

"The compact is a threat." That's all that needs to be said.

Look I get that it's not sexy that the Florida facility was closed via an environmental lawsuit but Al Capone got taken down by tax evasion. Not everything is sexy!

Bari Weiss is head of CBS News. Olivia Nuzzi is an editor at Vanity Fair. Joe Rogan is paid hundreds of millions. And every journalist knows dozens of decent, talented people who are underpaid, laid off, prematurely retired, or out of work.

Well, yeah, we're suing ICE. This wasn't really a hard decision. As little faith as we have in institutions, we recognize the value of drawing visible lines in the sand. We drew ours personally a while ago, but better late than never. May every protester be freed and may this occupation end.

Unlike Jesus, I have returned.

Sending troops from Texas to forcefully occupy and suppress cities in Illinois and Oregon IN OPPOSITION TO THOSE STATES' GOVERNORS is literally a civil war and it's cooking my brain that Democrats are simply pretending it isn't happening

The Federal Occupation of Chicago Day 2 I turn once more to those who sneer at this my city, and I give them back the sneer and say to them: Come and show me another city with lifted head singing so proud to be alive and coarse and strong and cunning.

Read bad art. Write bad art. Critique bad art.

Called it. Health care providers not tech folks were going to contest this.

Caving to what the developer described as “pressure from the Trump administration,” Apple has removed an app that allowed users to report and track ICE operations in their area to alert people in the community fearful of being swept up in President Donald Trump’s “mass deportation” crusade.

Gov. Pritzker has said all the right things, but now he needs to act and get these state troopers out of there.

Yes! Totally thought the big firms would revolt. Maybe hospitals will, though. Universities won’t. They’re already embattled. But hospitals could really work this issue.

New York City, I can see a future with you. And it’s one we can afford. Our new ad just aired during The Golden Bachelor.

It's not new, but I do think we shrug it off a little more than we should

Short passage captures so much so lucidly. Gurri’s point captures the essence of what was missing in Klein’s Biden age stuff. degenerateart.beehiiv.com/p/you-don-t-...

Trump wraps up a speech to military leaders that represented a major escalation of his effort to weaponize the armed forces into a tool he can use to violently quash domestic dissent. Hard to imagine how anyone with a shred of dignity can keep serving after this, which of course is the point.

One of these is not the same. "Recount familiar partisan complaints"

It is bad that Trump wants to use American soldiers against their fellow Americans. And it is also bad that Trump wants foreign powers to exploit his unnecessarily, artificial, and pre-scripted civil war.

The president just told all of the military's leaders that all Democrats are evil and promised to send the full force of the military into Democratic cities to assault the "enemy within," and there's *still* a chance that Democratic congressmen provide the crucial votes to keep this regime running.

Come on @bsky.app Aaron and @acyn.bsky.social are the only reason we're able to keep up with this insanity, because they're provide it in small transcribed clips. Lift the limit for them please.

He's telling us what he's doing. Using the military to suppress protest. At some point the opposition needs to listen to him and adjust strategy.

like, the fact that they felt this spectacle was necessary is itself evidence that they don't have the military support that they want

Main phrase ⬇️

This entire thing is a test for a loyalty oath to him. Any commander who stays in post after this will have tacitly switched their allegiance from the constitution to him.

❗❗

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

So the alarming part about this isn't publicizing medbeds, which I doubt Trump personally even knows about. The bad part is he doesn't want — or even need — to adhere to reality anymore. He needs his base ready to go to war for him, maybe literally. He is in the endtimes prophecy business now.

It's very weird to me how little media coverage can distinguish between a potential government shutdown with divided government vs a potential shutdown when a party has a trifecta.

Sinclair Backs Down in Wompy New Statement talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/sincl...

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

This is EXCELLENT. 1) this is spot-on analysis of the problem & a great immediate 1st thing a city can do to improve outcome. 2) as a 2 min clip? He's giving history, hope & change. Speaking to women, to Jewish & Black NYers, saying "abortion." & also naming eugenics in feminism. 100/10 no notes.

The Sisters of Charity in New York publicly rebuked Cardinal Dolan for going on FOX and Friends and gushingly praising Charlie Kirk as the modern day St. Paul, reaffirm their mission to minister to the poor and marginalized and to defend the dignity of LGBTQ+ communities

How about "no"
