I'm a media critic. I read and point to that which I criticize. Please don't tell me the #BrokenTimes, #BrokenPost have paywalls and registration. We know. Please don't tell me to stop reading. If you don't want traffic to go to them, don't click. We have more important things to worry about!

Y’all your public libraries most likely have access to these titles, for free for you. And likely with more privacy than you’d get from reading articles on their websites. Please, if you don’t already, get a library card. Your taxes are already paying for it, and libraries thrive on user stats.

I would not have bet on Schatz to be the one saying the kind of things I've wanted D politicians to say for a long time, but here we are and I'm not complaining.

Using the American flag to symbolic effect at protests against the Musk/Trump regime isn’t appealing to fascism, and it is incredibly counterproductive and stupid to believe to is.

Sen. Ed Markey & other lawmakers were denied entry to the EPA while exercising their right to oversight. Budget freezes are crippling the agency, harming our communities & the environment. Now, Markey is leading a protest outside, demanding accountability. This is a crisis. tinyurl.com/Markey-EPA
