With the news cycle focused on ABC's suspension of Jimmy Kimmel, a journalist with a valid US work permit and pending green card application is about to be deported for the crime of reporting www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

My favorite thing about being on an email chain with 400+ people who should have been BCCed but were not is the sheer number of email replies that are criticizing others for hitting Reply All or — even better — requesting to be removed (?) from the thread. Like, bro...no one wants to be here.

Today my @freepress.bsky.social co-ceo @notaaroncraig.bsky.social testified before the House Judiciary Committee in defense of free speech. Watch his excellent remarks here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Si1r...

Spot the lie.

I believe we ended at 12 over the course of about 5 hours.

Co-President Trump is fire, @hankjohnson.house.gov

By my count we are up to five mentions of LAPTOP at current congressional hearing.

I don’t football. I love Taylor Alison Swift. But karma truly is her boyfriend and this is what happens when you refer to Trump’s presence as “a great honor.” #gobirds

2025 vibes: Put me on the ORTBO and shoot me into the sun.

Sometimes it feels like these platforms are a space for stating the obvious but in case it is not clear: the tactic here is chaos, the technique and execution is sloppy and illegal and the question is whether the institutions and individuals with power actually use it.

This appears to be yet another Administration effort to weaponize the power of the FCC. The FCC has no business intimidating and silencing broadcast media.

It appears that I've gotten under Carr's skin. He clapped back on Twitter over the weekend, claiming that I am a "censor." We need to talk about what the 1A is for and what real censorship is ... because Brendan Carr either doesn't understand or is just lying to the American people.

HR 9495 just passed the House. Let it be known that your activism flipped a lot of votes. Roll call being counted now...

I'm trying over here and watching what's shaking out and coming to the conclusion that I'm not sure I have it in me to engage on another platform of "Takes." I'm not sure what I want out of social media anymore but endless "Takes" isn't it.

Got my hands on a JU-06 and discovered sub-bass and am officially the most annoying person in the world.

Stopping HR 9495 is an "All Hands On Deck" moment for nonprofit orgs. If this bill passes it would give the executive branch dangerous new powers, with grave consequences for civil society, including nonprofit newsrooms. Get connected to your rep and some help with what to say: 202-688-0628.

Reading Didion before bed and waking up to 2024's slide show of horrors is really defining my mood for November.

unfortunately House Republicans seem determined to pass HR 9495 before the end of the year. the bill is already back on the calendar for next week - Monday afternoon markup in the House Rules Committee: rules.house.gov/media/announ...

Everything is truly awful (Gaetz?! DOGE?) but y'all should know that there was a massive scramble by the good guys to beat back H.R. 9495 and it WORKED so hold on to the light where you can. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

We are in the dumbest simulation

: Frank Ocean, Blonde. Mourning the loss of DOGE as a Shiba Inu with Comic Sans font. What's the vibe here? IDK that I can take a lot of takes but I need information. Talk to me about the Grammy noms. I don't have answers to what we need in this moment other than regrouping.
