Paul Farhi has been covering news media for major outlets since 2010.

My EP, END TIMES TWEE, is coming soon. Here’s a preview (warning: earworm):

Cyril E. Power, "The Escalator," c. 1929 collections.mfa.org/objects/479542

Republican Congressman Don Bacon: We have a company that makes combines. They are moving all their manufacturing to Europe because of Trump’s tariffs. That's hundreds of jobs right there...Iowa and Nebraska are really struggling right now with our farm economy

lol

One of the reasons I built and managed pirate radio stations is that the government can't effectively squelch them. FCC raids and property confiscation (Arrest in Rem) aside, pirate radio can't be silenced through a social media algorithm. Get loud, fuckers. It's time.

this is PRIOR RESTRAINT on the press. Alert🔥accelerated feckless autocratic fantasy on this timeline

This is in preparation for Martial Law before the MidTerm elections, FCC scaring broadcasters, Armed Troops in Major American Cities. Get prepared, canned food, clean water sources, batteries, first aid. It's coming.

NEW: Reporters at the Pentagon have been told they can no longer report information which has not been approved. Those who refuse will lose their press credentials - WaPo

NEW: Ohio Chaplain Freed From Jail as DHS Drops Deportation Case “This is beyond my dreams,” Ayman Soliman told ProPublica in a call just after his release. In a case marked by errors and inconsistencies, DHS had accused the children’s hospital chaplain of providing material support to terrorists.

A threatened $100,000 fee on H-1B visas verges on the insane. Highly qualified scientists and medical specialists will no longer be able to come to America to fill the needs of tech labs and hospitals - unless the potential employers pay the fee upfront - and that is highly unlikely!

🇪🇪 Estonia summoned a Russian diplomat to protest after three Russian fighter jets entered its airspace without permission and stayed there for 12 minutes on Friday, - AP Kaja Kallas called Friday’s incursion “an extremely dangerous provocation” that “further exacerbates tensions in the region”.

Also, amidst the turmoil in DC over science funding, the uncertain future of NASA's Juno mission, which runs out of cash in 2 weeks if nothing is done. Costing ~$1bn to build & launch, it's now just $10s mn to run per year, PI Scott Bolton says. But no decision on a further extension has been made.

Naive old thinking will kneecap resistance and endanger organizers in this era of MAGA fascism, OPSEC must become priority. Get serious about protecting anonymity.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Do you see what is happening before our very eyes?

NEW: I tracked three dozen teachers, professors and other school staff who've been forced from their job or stepped away due to their comments on Charlie Kirk and his killing Republican lawmakers are increasingly getting involved, pushing for firings www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

“It’s weird to think of Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert as the canaries in the coal mine,” the comedian @wkamaubell.bsky.social tells @jemelehill.bsky.social. “But if they’re telling us, ‘We’re not afraid of rich white men,’ what can the rest of us do?”⁠ ⁠ Watch more: bit.ly/46a5DUE #TAF25

This is what happens in an oligarchy where a few control the platforms of communication and the media.

When a society doesn’t learn from history, it is doomed to repeat it.

Tell Bob what time it is:

We have received many questions about whether it’s safe to sign up for No Kings protests while Trump ramps up his attacks on free speech.

Credit to our friend @jesscraven101.bsky.social : For anyone who wants to let the Disney CEO know just how badly he messed up, here’s some good ways (allegedly) to contact him: We’ll post the best messages y’all send to our social media pages:

dumbest fascism possible www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Standing against fascism is now domestic terrorism—by presidential decree. Anyone committed to fighting fascism can now be deemed an enemy of the state, arrested, and held—possibly without full due process—on the claim that they're a "terrorist." Just like that, we lost America.

83% of US adults haven't paid for news in the last year. About half (49%) say their main reason is they can find plenty of free news elsewhere. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

When a show about resisting fascism grabs Emmy gold, it’s hard not to wonder: how long can we let the regime hold tight? Learn what this Playbook says about turning the tide and how you can help. https://americanmanifesto.news/fighting-fascism-the-battleplan-to-break-the-regime

Shit getting real dark really fast

Autocratic fantasies taking shape IRL www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Jack White is a badass.

GROYPER EXPLAINER PART 10: Tik Toker explains that there's a subsection of "incels" that groom other members to become more feminine or trans so that they can date each other. Which strengthens the idea that Tyler Robinson is a Groyper - so my thread continues!

MAGA on MAGA murder as sniper was a GROYPER

Israel attacks inside Qatar…. then Russian attack drones into NATO within 24 hrs. While US plays games off Venezuela, will China make its move against Taiwan? Unraveling security, shit is getting real.

Codepink has left such a long trail of dubious actions and shadowy funding that @vatniksoup.bsky.social, who posts about Russian influencers, needed 23 Tweets to outline it all. Here's a link to his Twitter thread. If they are involved, tonight is not a normal protest. 2/ x.com/P_Kallioniem...

NATO's reaction or underreaction to the Russian attack on Poland will determine the timeline for the Russian invasion of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Finland. Make no mistake, the attack was a deliberate strategy to practice for the looming invasion of the Baltics.

Make no mistake, Russia is not at war with your government or your officials, it is at war with everyone and that includes you. Your families, friends, children, parents, elders, everyone is a target for the Russian forces. This is a war you can't sit out, act like it and be prepared.

Officials in the Gulf Co-operation Council have two growing fears: that Israel is becoming a regional hegemon, and that the regional war will spill into their countries. The Israeli strike in Qatar will reaffirm both

Fuck 😑

🇵🇱❗️Russians "Gerberas" did not "get lost". Russia has long been preparing for drone attacks on Poland, - Defense Express Back in early July, 4G modems with SIM cards of Polish and Lithuanian operators were found among the wreckage of Russian UAVs shot down in Ukraine.

This was on the money a day early. #OTAN #NATO understandingwar.org/research/rus...

Cancer drug Revlimid is one of the bestselling pharmaceutical products of all time, with total sales of over $100 billion. It’s also extraordinarily expensive, costing nearly $1,000 for each pill, even though that pill costs just 25 cents to make. (Published May 2025)

60% of Arkansas farmers voted for Trump, now they sit hat in hand on the verge of bankruptcy due to Trump's tariffs They have been reduced to begging for a bailout and publicly praying for help. Thankfully Trump himself has an answer, just send him money and all your prayers will be answered. Idiots

Bernie's plan Is The Way.......

He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
