I spent the weekend reading The Constitution, as one does. I highly recommend this US Comics version! It gives some history/context along with the actual verbiage & explains things like federalism, the electoral college, and congressional policies. Grab a copy: kingstonecomics.com/products/the...

Trump has wrongfully referred to unlawful migration as an “invasion,” increasing the risk that he would try to misappropriate wartime laws for peacetime immigration enforcement.

The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.

Bannon didn't create this strategy, it's older than that. But he gave it its current name and perfected its weaponization. And the extent to which the media fell for it is pathetic. The fourth estate continues to fail us. There are still excellent journalists, but the media as a whole has failed.

My latest. As journalists and writers, we have a duty to use language that is accurate and describes our current reality. I’m no longer going to talk about DEI/Anti-DEI. Let’s be clear. We are facing racial purges and re-segregation. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Almost two weeks ago, I found out I was one of 40 people getting laid off from NBC News. Those who know me know I’ve wanted to go independent for a long time. Later this month, I’m launching @spitfirenews.com. We need journalism that is louder than ever. spitfirenews.com/p/an-introdu...

Tip of the day: did you know that you can archive an archive? If there's something archived on Wayback Machine that you want to create a secondary archive of just in case Wayback Machine goes down, you can just paste the Wayback Machine URL into archive.is to create a secondary copy of the archive.
