“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Notice how the AP is suing the White House on freedom of speech, not freedom of the press. I hope @dbauder.bsky.social will say more about this as the story unfolds. Meanwhile here is something to read on the difference between the two. www.cjr.org/analysis/thi...

1. The Philadelphia Inquirer has 2 journalists - our chief political writer and foreign affairs columnist - in Germany for its critical election. A friend yesterday called us "a regional newspaper" but I'd say we're a historic legacy news org (with 23 Pulitzers)... www.inquirer.com/politics/ger...

When the Maryland National Guard pulled out of a planned parade to honor Frederick Douglass, citing Hegseth's anti-"DEI" guidance, Trump allies complained this was a case of 'malicious compliance.' Hegseth's had two weeks to tell the Maryland Guard to go ahead. He hasn't. The racism is the point.

Following Trump’s new Executive Order re: the S.F. Presidio, here’s a shareable link to an unrolled version of my highly sourced thread about the Tech Bros’ plan to build a “Freedom City” in the Presidio. The MSM has yet to connect these dots, & it’s driving me crazy! skywriter.blue/pages/did:pl...

Kash Patel confirmed as FBI director. Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee should be ashamed for not recalling him for further questioning after information came out that he was present and knew about what he allegedly knew though he said he did not know about planned firings, etc.

This is, in no uncertain terms, a rout. The New York Times published an unfortunate op-ed trying to legally justify Trump administration's #Birthright citizenship order. Here, five leading scholars show, with analytic precision, how that op-ed was "fundamentally flawed and irresponsible."⬇️

Check out the latest Oath and the Office episode with @democracyprof.bsky.social and @johnfugelsang.bsky.social. I’m now looking at the 10th Amendment and early states’ rights. And John makes me feel better thinking about Steven Bannon as truth-teller. Who knew? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

If DOGE is making a simple math error here it is making simple errors elsewhere -- like firing mission critical employees and cutting life-saving programs. There is a reason why government sometimes moves slow, so it doesn't make stupid decisions www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

From me: After Trump broke Tarrio out of prison, Tarrio said: “Success is going to be retribution. We have to ensure the next four years set us up for the next 100 years." Tarrio and Trump are on the same page. The retribution agenda is about entrenchment. www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/trumps-par...

Fuck him. He is selling us out and breaking America from the inside. All for the benefit of our biggest adversary Russia. I wonder how much of the data DOGE is stealing is going there.
