Really important dynamic where a corrupt President can lean on corrupt local officials to consolidate power. Adams must go.

I wrote an essay a few days ago about the parade of powerful media institutions--including newspapers and social media companies-- prostrating themselves before Trump. Here's a response from Floyd Abrams, one of this country's most respected media lawyers: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/o...

Can people signal boost this!

If you are at your desk, stay at your desk. Make them remove you. It is at best unclear that they have the authority to do this, their behavior is too erratic, we have a Vice President is calling to nullify, in effect, the Judiciary. Stay at your desk. Stay all night if you have to.

This isnt Nam, this bowling, there are rules.

"The First Amendment is just words on a page. Giving those words meaning — sustaining their promise, generation after generation — depends on a civic courage that seems, right now, to be in ominously short supply."

Can't believe the pronoun people want all of our official signage to be legally required to be written in French and English.

We need leaders we can trust and Cuomo's administration lied to us about the number of people dying in old folks homes, so that he could cover his own ass. Hard pass.

hello! just putting this here. please share in your signal groups and slacks. www.propublica.org/tips/#signal

This lawsuit is much more complicated than what’s explained in here. It’s not just a Musk lawsuit. It is closely tied to subpoenas by Jim Jordan, & Congressional lies. For two years, lawfare has involved both the state & the oligarch, and media need to tell THAT story. Almost no one paid attention.

Business-side media working with the government against the newsroom in pursuit of a big dumb anti-competitive merger... just full on out-of-a-textbook fascism.

Cannot believe a bunch of dudes on podcasts were like "you do not need to be washing your hands, think about it evolutionarily, cave men were not wiping their ass" and now we gotta be a lil dictatorship for a minute.

Trump voters about to get really concerned about their cholesterol numbers like "eggs are bad and should be expensive, now give us that deregulation of the tech industry that the people crave."

Army Blackhawk helicopters are crashing into passenger planes at DCA while the Secretary of Defense is on Fox News ranting about DEI

This... this ain't good.
