OAN signed the Pentagon access terms. That's all the Pentagon needs, isn't it? Every other outlet will just reprint the OAN line about anything happening in the Pentagon. "Today OAN quoted Pentagon reports about destroying a new Venezuelan drugboat" etc. I don't think Hitler did it any […]

Gov. Bill Lee says Trump’s military-police occupation of Memphis “may never end.” “We have just begun. We do know this is going to last for months… In fact, I will tell you that it will last forever.”

Well this is awkward

The creation of ‘parallel’ institutions—media outlets, universities, political parties, etc—is key. That's how billionaires turn their money into institutional capture and ideological weaponization. Weiss already has a “university” and a “Free Press.” Now she gets CBS...

Bari Weiss is building a right-wing CBS knockoff—mimicking the format, harvesting the credibility, but serving pure partisanship. This is the Venture Capital fascism playbook: clone trusted institutions, staff them with right-wing ideological warriors, and call it ‘balance.’

The US federal attack on Portland has resulted in the best advertisement for a city that I have ever seen. Round-the-clock joy, community solidarity and silliness that much of the West has lost and longs for.
