NEW inside CBS— Staff are insulted executives will spend $150 million to buy The Free Press & make self-proclaimed “Zionist fanatic” Bari Weiss Editor-in-Chief, while many of them are set to be laid off. “If I wrote 90 percent of what’s on The Free Press, I would get flagged and fired,” one says.

This week at an event for THE PEOPLE’S PROJECT, a reader asked in a gracious and cheeky way what I would hope white readers in particular would get out of the book. Or more directly, what I would TELL white readers. And this was basically my answer: African-Americans are experts on America.

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

It was only a matter of time. These degrees are universities’ money-makers: they’ll market anything they think people will pay for.

Pro-Palestinian activists in Naples Italy occupy the Naples train station as the occupation illegally intercepts the Global Sumud Flotilla.

You know we can also get rid of DHS. Like ICE, it was not a thing we had until recently. Abolish ICE. Abolish DHS. Maybe just abolish "the Homeland" while we're at it ok?

“And in this respect, I’m coming to understand the AI hype machine as part and parcel of the fascistic project. That’s not an analogy. I’m not saying AI is similar to fascism, or parallel to it. I’m saying AI is fascism.”

Well this is confusing/fascinating/scary. My favorite combo!

Y’all, what are we even doing here. AI is gonna have us so cooked.

So glad I’ve been cynical about big media for so long that I don’t have to feel the disappointment and rage of moments like this nearly so deeply. lol. Fuck Bari Weiss.

Something our glorious Secretary of War does not seem to have considered is that the reason military PT and grooming standards, plus policies for EEO and abuse reporting, are the way they are is because they're necessary for recruitment and retention

Reagan can be best understood as white voters rejecting the New Deal if they had to share it with Black people

Read a chapter or so of this in college way back last Millenium and it made such an impression I decided - since I’m becoming a teacher - to order myself a copy and see how it’s aged. Let’s goooooo

Ooooh 100% i want it in text. I am soooo pissed now that I am a student again; every time I have to watch a video for a class I’m like No You Mental Sloths Give Me Text This Is Agony!!

What Coates was saying is, all I can do now is lay the bricks down for a path towards a better future. He was saying how do we strengthen our backs. Klein was saying living under Trump is uncomfortable how can I make it stop now. How can I dull the pain without addressing the underlying source?

Yesssss another good rephrasing of the Problem with Klein and His Ilk

The US wine industry today employs more people than coal did at its peak a century ago

It is actually peak absurdity that we still have people arguing that voters should bend to the positions of their political representatives instead of the other way around.

# of paragraphs for news orgs to mention there's no discernable need to deploy troops to Portland, Oregon The Guardian: 1st paragraph BBC: 4th paragraph AP: 5th paragraph Time: 6th paragraph Politico: 8th paragraph NPR: 9th paragraph CNN: 10th paragraph NBC: 12th paragraph Fox News: never mentions

Who wants to return? To what? The thing before this that led directly to this? There is no way but through. It’s a bummer but there it is.

ezra klein: "I don’t know what my role is anymore. I’ll be totally honest with you, man. I feel very conflicted about that question." like, you're a leading liberal journalist and opinion setter in the age of fascism, and you don't know what your role is? Like I said, I think he's broken.

Happy Sunday Everyone and remember: "We don't fight fascists because we will win. We fight fascists because they are fascists." -Chris Hedges (on my mind this morning for no real reason).

How does Ezra Klein think the world felt to abolitionists? Women suffragists? Queer folks until like a decade ago? Being "right" and in the minority is not a new situation, it's just a new situation for men like Klein. And he's just dumbfounded by it....1/

My summary of the Ezra Klein - Ta-Nehisi Coates interview: Klein: "How to do we win?" Coates: "What if we actually really believed in something? Consistently? Over time? Deeply?" www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/o...

Ta-Nehisi Coates dropping such a beautiful articulation of a sense of #history and struggle that, I think, minority communities understand way more than, say, your average white American. "I will make the contribution that I am supposed to make." Write that on my classroom wall. 🗺️
