The right wing and Fox launched a smear campaign against Newsom. In the past, he might’ve ignored it—but he’s seen how right-wing trolls work with Fox to create false narratives. So this time, Newsom responded immediately. No hesitation.

I was thinking that maybe, more than 20 years after the start of the Iraq war, media coverage would be more skeptical and less sycophantic No such luck

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

MAGA: “The 2nd Amendment guarantees a militia to fight tyranny!” Also MAGA: “It’s fine that Trump seized California’s National Guard against the governor’s will.” You can’t have it both ways. Read why this matters. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/a-well-reg...

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

Wild suggestion from LBC presenter that ‘authorities must always win’ in relation to Trump’s authoritarian use of the National Guard in LA. Well done for pushing back @zoejardiniere.bsky.social 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 youtu.be/gUhzuBal6hg?...

(Longish thread. Apologies) I have met many inspiring colleagues over the past few months, many of whom are in academic institutions targeted by the current administration, and many others who are about to be (the analogy to the ‘eye of Sauron’ has been invoked many times; gallows humor). 1/

I've made this point multiple times before but if Bluesky wants to grow, the things they need aren't opinion pundits but accounts that publish new information. That's breaking news reporters, politicians and stuff like official organization accounts that publish official statements.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

In which @jonnelledge.bsky.social hits the nail on the head. The people who read newspapers are generally the over-65s, the broadcasters and the political class. There’s a line that travels directly from the Mail, Sun and Telegraph through the BBC, ITN and Sky to Westminster. It is entirely ruinous.
