The Washington Post and LA Times editorial pages have gone full MAGA, MSNBC has purged all of its anti-Trump anchors, and Twitter is owned by a literal Nazi. Here's why liberal media bias is still a problem.

Thinking about Black History Month and Trump's attacks on universities and any honest discussion of history, oppression, or anti-Blackness (and so much more). Relatedly, I'm also thinking about Avery Brooks in the DS9 episode Far Beyond the Stars.

Musk called DOGE “maximally transparent,” but it has refused to release info about its spending and operations — including the names of its employees. ProPublica has identified 46 of them, including 12 new names we've just added.

As the New York Times continues to describe what’s happening as “cost cutting,” a small cabal of far-right authoritarians and some of the wealthiest people in the world continue do what Mussolini declared to be the essence of fascism: the merger of state and corporate power.

Did the @nytimes.com really quote the mf-ing communications director of the Houston YOUNG REPUBLICANS as if he were just some random young Black person who likes Trump? Cause it sure looks like it.

We wanted to know what the average Black person thinks of Donald Trump. So we asked the communications director of the Houston Young Republicans, who grew up in a mixed race family in a majority white Long Island suburb.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

And there it is. Same holds for activists, writers, "free speech" orgs, arts institutions and everyone else who has been silent for 15 months.

True story: a few years ago, I was being interviewed by a reporter for the New York Times. I mentioned the history of eviction statutes and how they tied into Jim Crow. The reporter asked "what's Jim Crow?" When I explained, the reporter didn't believe me and said the US wouldn't do that.

With all the brave public anti-administration statements coming from former Scalia clerks and lifelong members of America's Neofeudalism Institute, I'm begging the Democrats to remember that more than one of you can talk at once about more than one thing at once, and people can then report on that.

The Trump official currently dismantling USAID was caught in a secret meeting with a group of pro-Russian separatists in the Balkans. Those he met with are under American sanctions for trying to restart the Bosnian war in the name of Christian nationalism. 1/

"The richest man alive, an actual Nazi and a fucking sicko, who was not elected, is firing tens of thousands of people to further enrich himself and the president he has usurped all to make Americans' lives worse" has to be among the biggest layups of all time for messaging. And yet.

Don't do this administration's work for them by coming up with justifying and rationalizing arguments for institutions and organizations to cooperate. This includes the justifications for why the Democratic party has to "find common ground." If you even start to think this, slap yourself.

Just thinking a lot about how Democrats responded to public pressure by attempting to go into federal buildings and giving up immediately when stopped by security and how apt of a metaphor that is. Imagine if they had pushed back. Gotten detained, thrown out, arrested. These are choices.
