Whether it's Donna Brazile sharing town hall topics with Hillary Clinton or Trump treasury secretary Scott Bessent sharing your Social Security Number with Elon Musk, both sides are guilty of sharing privileged information.

Here’s how we’d cover this if it were elsewhere: Musk Junta Seizes Key Governmental Offices February 1, 2025: WASHINGTON, D.C. — What started Thursday as a political purge of the internal security services accelerated Friday into a full-blown coup . . . www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

This is how we cover coups in other countries. So our media know now to write this way. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

This is so good - @vermontgmg.bsky.social takes a stab at imagining how the US press would be covering overseas what's happening inside the U.S. right now:

this is really well done — but there’s no way that the US media would cover such happenings in a foreign country with half this much depth, detail or accuracy

I’m very plugged into the news cycle. There was not a single item in here I hadn’t already seen somewhere in the past week. But to see it reported all together — in the actual, straightforward way our current media standard-bearers seem entirely incapable of doing — is still striking

By far, this piece by Garrett Graff is the most real and true reporting published anywhere about the early days of 47's second term. I cannot praise it highly enough. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Terrific article with the clearest and most accurate framing of the takeover actions underway within the US. It also offers the clearest contrast with the inadequacy and double standard of existing mainstream coverage.

This Fiona Apple narrated explainer PSA on how to film (and release footage from, not livestream) ICE arrests is exactly what we need from people with production skills right now and is worth about 3 million celebrity “imagine” covers in terms of survival utility

The artist, David Cohen is an Asheville-based artist/musician and resident of over forty years. His cartoon work spans various subjects ranging from local issues based in Asheville to more national political events and even to one-off, word-play-oriented jokes. ❤️ Give credit to artists when you can.

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

New in PN: Trump's walk back on lowering prices is a media failure 'The mainstream press enabled Trump’s scam by helping him create an impression that he had an actual plan instead of reporting the obvious truth — that he was offering nothing but bluster and empty talking points all along."

My one constructive criticism on BlueSky, as a community: we need to “like” less and “retweet” more. In the absence of an algorithm, that’s the way we find each other and reward good content.
