Officially stepping away from all meta media. With twitter turned into a cesspool and meta following down that path we have to find away for good people to speak true things and be valued and lies be called out and shunned. I am staying on Bluesky for now….

"...we’re under a well-funded, well-coordinated information assault." This is a brutal look at the GOP's very successful years-long effort to destroy fact-based media. Thank goodness @karlbode.com also includes some solid ideas about how to fix things.

If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane. We have turned them into Sub Prime Lenders 🧵

How many questions has the legacy media asked Republicans about why they are trying to disenfranchise 60,000 North Carolina voters and steal a State Supreme Court seat?

Congress approved it. Three-quarters of the states ratified it. @POTUS should instruct the National Archivist to certify and publish the Equal Rights Amendment as the 28th amendment to the US Constitution and secure equal justice under the law. #ERANow

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

MADDOW: “Maybe what President Biden should have done is not just pardon his son, Hunter, but named him ambassador to France. Maybe then the criticism would be a little more muted.”

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment

Broligarchs against democracy: my essay in @theatlantic.bsky.social, based on my new book, "Offshore: Stealth Wealth & the New Colonialism" (shorturl.at/rTacl). They're high-tech's opponents of democracy & their motto is: "Liberty, oligarchy & fraternity." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The Red State Brain Drain Isn’t Coming. It’s Happening Right Now. As conservative states wage total culture war, college-educated workers — physicians, teachers, professors, and more — are packing their bags and moving to blue states.
