Not new idea but if i were a dogooder with actual money concerned about media i would pick a dozen medium sized cities in swingy states and bring back local journalism.

Same energy:

Not sure how much press this is getting

I don't quibble too much about casting choices for print to screen. I care about whether the brought the essence. My most beloved novel series is Outlander. I've read it numerous times, both print and audio. There's only one casting choice that never grew on me: Brianna.

This happened in Phoenix yesterday. I feel like this is a metaphor. It's the new flaming dumpster meme.

Art is resistance/protest: creating it, supporting it, buying it. Even more so when the art or artist are explicitly issues-focused. And Bandcamp is the resistance alternative to supporting behemoths that don't pay artists (leading to skyrocketing concert prices).

Been trying to figure out who he reminds me of, and I got it!

Leadership needs to be replaced. This is absolute bullshit.

This is just so silly. Again, the WHCA is an independent organization that picks its own venues and would have no obligation to ask the White House to host a smaller version of the Dinner in the currently nonexistent ballroom. The President has to leave the White House sometimes!

So, like... was Kash exempted because he's (however nominally) Hindu? Shooter reasoned he was in alignment with God, but Hindus follow different gods. Or is this a conspiracy theory thing?

Without revealing the bizarre youtube hole I've been living in, I just gotta say: crawlspaces... ick. Some are so tight they're nearly inaccessible. Would another 6 inches kill you?

Hot take: That's a hell of a manifesto letter. Sure wish it was for something non-violent though. Glad no one was killed (yes, really, even though I do wish nature would quit taking her sweet time).

The right is collectively screaming that this is why the WH needs a new ballroom, but... The WHCA is a private association. And this dinner is a fundraising event for them. Even if the WH had a ballroom, it'd be fucked up for them to host a fundraising event for the journalists that cover it.

Appreciate this detail from CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs. It's an important part of the story that seems to be missing from a lot of comments & coverage.

Typically, I treat headaches. But this is one I’m proud to have caused.

Ran some errands, so I'm feeling productive. Housekeepers and fresh sheets today, so it's clean and bright. My dog gave me delicate nose-tip kisses, so I'm feeling loved. All in all, pretty good day so far.

Top aides kept Trump out of the room in the wake of the jet being shot down in Iran. The felt his impatience and impulsivity would be a hindrance. Gift link www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Adriana Mucinska (Ross) worked for Paolo Zampolli and Jeffrey Epstein at the same time. This 2006 article briefly mentions it. She was one of the 'core 4' covered by Epstein's plea deal. And Zampolli is working for the US govt. www.gawkerarchives.com/216169/sex--...

Holy shit, I have NEVER been more excited for a movie.

The Greater Israel project sounds a lot of Lebensraum

She was granted withholding of removal from India *decades* ago, and had been living and working legally (including for the U.S. government!) ever since. But with third country removals now a real option, TSA shared her data with ICE and they arrested her at the airport on her way to a job.

I really dislike the Christian tendency to blame things on demons. It suggests if you expel the demon that the person is fixed. No. That's a fucking cop-out. Sometimes people are just shitty and the only way they get fixed is by doing the work.

How did Magyar win? A long running grassroots campaign in rural and small town Hungary; a refusal to be distracted by government propaganda; a focus on economic issues and corruption; a central promise to bring back democracy and the rule of law

Was not expecting this. Gonzales will also resign from Congress.

Man. Person. Camera. Jesus. Doctor.

"Enshitification" First the platform screws suppliers to the benefit of customers and workers, then it screws workers to the benefit of customers and shareholders, then it screws customers to the exclusive benefit of shareholders.

Spain has been vocal against Israel’s Gaza Genocide, so Netanyahu threatens Spain by saying “Spain is going to pay an immediate price..”. In response some of Spains famous News Anchors responded to Netanyahu on live TV 👇

Ask any American how they feel about becoming the Xyz-occupied United States, and they'd be talking about militias and armed resistance. Probably in existential terms. This is a post about Palestine.

After years of propping up Orban, Putin lost the election tonight in Hungary.

Congratulations, Hungary! I'm not familiar enough with country's politics to know whether there's risk he'll do something to hang on to power?

I wrote this post two weeks ago. Since then, JD Vance has gone to Hungary to defend Putin's puppet, and is now leading negotiations in Pakistan. emptywheel.net/2026/03/27/h...

We have armed numerous terrorists and militias over the years, but we're always pointing the finger and calling other people terrorists.

Cardinal McElroy calls for civic action by Catholics and other people of faith across the US to demand an immediate end to Trump's war on Iran. "When we leave this church this night, we must move beyond prayer. As citizens and believers in this democracy that we cherish so deeply, we must advocate

For the record, I was a Swalwell supporter and had planned on voting for him in the primary. Me believing the women was not political. It's based on the corroboration of evidence confirmed by multiple news outlets, and the Manhattan DA finding enough evidence exists to open a criminal probe.

There's been a lot of initial verification with these accusers: texts, photos, calendar cross-checks. Politicians are just people we hire through voting. Stop idolizing them. Don't hire this guy into a position with more power.

Anyone else notice that as Trump gets more unhinged and violent he's more frequently mentioning the *families* of his enemies? He posted a reference to Alex Jones's family. He posted a reference to Candace Owens' family. He posted a reference to the families of SCOTUS Justices.

The woman he's having deported, Amanda Ungaro, was 17 and Zampolli was 32 when they met. She was brought from Paris to NY on Jeffrey Epstein's "Lolita Express" (her agent at the time was Jean-Luc Brunel, an alleged procurer for Epstein). Amanda Ungaro was with Zampolli until 2018, in Trump's orbit.

anyway if this holds up, and that’s a load bearing “if”, it’s great news for the material conditions of the Iranian people and very bad news for everyone who has to deal with Iran’s shit, since the government is still very much a bad actor and a malign influence on the world (yes yes glass houses)

Old Jennifer Aniston movie, Picture Perfect. She works at an ad agency. One of her accounts is Gulden's mustard, who are # 2 behind French's. She used a supermodel who graduated 2nd in her class to show there is no shame in 2nd place, and it can be beautiful. ...>

tell me more about the last minute intervention

SNL UK is absolutely putting its American counterpart to shame dear lord

I just saw someone post their granddaughter's name: Renezmai ugh

A newly obtained video of ICE agent shooting and wounding a Venezuelan immigrant in Minneapolis earlier in 2026 undermines ICE's account of the events. The video contradicts the agent’s claim that three assailants had beaten him with a shovel and broom for roughly three minute... TAT: [Nationalism]
