One of the major reasons the Bush Administration and neocons were able to lead US into the disastrous War on Terror and lie to the public was due to journalists and commentators who parroted the propaganda and beat the war drums.

Go Brad 😍 Just days after being arrested by ICE agents, Brad Lander is back at the same NYC immigration court to help escort migrants past the agents. This is what bravery looks like. Real leaders don't run from fear. They run toward the people who need them.

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' More of this, please"

NEW: New York Attorney General Letitia James on the arrest of NYC mayoral candidate and comptroller Brad Lander. “This is profoundly unacceptable. Arresting Comptroller Lander for the simple act of standing up for immigrants and their civil rights is a shocking abuse of power.”

Millions of Americans spoke Saturday. The #BrokenTimes isn't listening. It doesn't want to hear us or to amplify our voices. It is not our newspaper, not liberals', not Americans', not the cause of democracy. It is broken.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

The American press is fundamentally broken all the way down to its core. There are good reporters out there but most of them are simply not up to the task. They are content farmers, not journalists.

If you told me I had a choice of a next door neighbor — sight unseen, the most wretched person from the most wretched country in the world, or Charlie Kirk, or Matt Walsh — I would pick the wretched person every single time, because there’s a chance they’re a decent person.

New in PN: ABC is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller "Miller and Trump are hateful bigots. Independent journalists can still say that. Journalists at ABC can’t, because the president gets a veto over their coverage. That’s not democracy and it’s not a free press. It’s fascism."

Doing some research and found this excerpt from former Rep. Bill Sarpalius book about growing up on Cal Farley's ranch. Sarpalius was an estranged grandson of Doc Sarpolis and he and his two brothers grew up on the ranch near Amarillo. www.texasmonthly.com/arts-enterta...

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.
