Take 2 minutes and watch this because it really is one of the most powerful stories I've ever heard. Maybe I'm just desperate for anything that gives me hope, but every time I listen to this it's just a gut punch in the best way.

Honestly given where things are heading, and have been, we need more prison journalism. Every beat exists in prison: health care, education, labor, inequality, markets, media, the arts, the law, politics…

Kari Lake said Trump-boosting One America News would provide content for the Voice of America. While horrifying, it’s not the first time the VOA has been explicitly politicized.

Episode one is definitely worth listening to and I look forward to listening to the rest of the series. P.S. I listen to On the Media in the United Kingdom and it is definitely one of my favourite NPR/WNYC programmes.

Shame on @columbiauniversity.bsky.social, once home to one of the most prestigious journalism programs in the world, for suspending student journalists who documented a campus protest. Student journalists cannot hold their institutions accountable under the constant threat of disciplinary action.

Pirro is the 23rd former Fox employee Trump has named to his administration. She's wildly unqualified to be DC's top prosecutor and was been described by her former executive producer as a "reckless lunatic." Gonna thread some of her lowlights.
