@60minutes.bsky.social is doing such important journalism right now!

I’ll take Bluesky any day over Twitter. But the sense of urgency and panic in my feed is overwhelming. It is of course real and warranted, but I can only take small dose right now. I wonder…what is the average offline person feeling right now? Will “unprecedented times” just be another day?

Haven’t watched CNN for a while. Anderson Cooper’s first five minutes were on fire tonight. Is this new? I won’t hold my breath it continues throughout the hour though.

They’re testing. It wasn’t a “glitch” that turned off Medicaid portals. They’re seeing which things they can delete without a fight. Vets benefits? Abuse shelters? Aid to children? Cancer research? They don’t care who gets hurt. Just what they can get away with. Keep. Fighting. Back.

The absolutely staggering number of executive orders, memos, and proclamations was meant to fulfil Bannon's strategy of flooding the zone with shit. The devil is truly in the details. My latest lists them and highlights the kinds of turds really in there. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

So has the media figured out this time how to deal with Tr*mp over-saturating the media? January 6 pardons are outrageous, but this is globally irresponsible.

Instead of reporting the same 5 stories all day, 6 am to 12 pm, maybe cable news could give these types of stories a sliver of attention?
