"images of unchecked lawlessness" is exactly how Trump's propagandists got a lot of Americans to believe that there is a "crisis" of illegal immigration in the first place. Shown repeatedly, they distorted reality.

Almost nobody is ok with it. But was it on your local news today? If not, nobody is going to know about it in order to not be OK with it. Ppl oppose almost everything this administration is doing, when they’re told what those things are. But most people aren’t!

I scanned dozens of newspapers from around the U.S. & world. On average, international newspapers cover the widespread protests against Trump/Musk and for democracy much more prominently on their covers than those in the U.S. This isn’t due to deadlines, protests were daytime in the U.S. #handsoff

Was interviewed by the Hollywood Reporter about Trump's apparatchik at the FCC. It's all about beating the media into submission so that everything looks and sounds like Fox News. No dissent can be tolerated.

President Trump is suing the Pulitzer Board because it awarded its prize to the Washington Post and the New York Times for their reporting on Russian interference in the 2016 election. Today a Florida judge denied Pulitzer's bid to pause the lawsuit. Here's @oliverdarcy.bsky.social's take.

This is why I say you - local professor - should write for your local papers. Many cases they are doing great work. In other cases not, but they’re small ponds in which you, big fish that you are, can really have influence. And the right has long known this.
