- Do not love how this industry has been shredded and remade into a teetering heap of gig work Freelancers fighting each other for a dwindling number of scraps, generational talent falling out of the ecosystem entirely, former staffers struggling while billionaires stuff their pockets A fucking mess

- After ICE killed Renée Good and Alex Pretti, the Trump administration tried to tell us we didn’t see what we saw with our own eyes. Shane Snow’s essay breaks down how governments manipulate media to rewrite reality—and how to spot it before it can take root.
- What should alarm us about the Epstein files isn’t just the appalling details, which are horrific and criminal. It’s that here is a growing sense that there is small number of elite who see themselves as above the law.

- journalists are workers who deserve to be paid fairly for our labor and I think that far too few consumers of media recognize or even care about this fact
- Big show lined up for today. I’ll be joined by former Texas Congressman @betoorourke.bsky.social and Jan 6 hero turned congressional candidate @libradunn1.bsky.social plus former WH attorney Ty Cobb - see you at 4p ET/1p PT. First on Substack and later on YouTube.

- States aren’t “agents” of the federal government. Amendment X: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States….” Also, our Constitution assigns to the states the administration of federal elections, dumb ass.

- I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.
- My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valley’s political power
- again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are his net worth is $253.2 billion. so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire and then do it again tomorrow and again the day after that and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months
- I don't think it's hyperbole to say that the only way to ensure a free and just society for our children and grandchildren is to enact policies as soon as possible that tax billionaires out of existence, removes their influence from politics, and breaks up the companies they've consolidated.
- with the Olympics coming up, I cannot recommend enough just picking random sports and getting really into them at a moment's notice did I know anything about women's foil before the last Olympics? I did not did I become the world's biggest Lee Kiefer fan immediately? absolutely I did
- How do you fix journalism? Fucking pay for it. Stop complaining about paywalls and subscribe. The rise of right-wing media is because the rich funded it. The fall of legacy media is because the rich funded it and then decided not to.
- Not the flex you think it is, JD.

- I’m actually quite moved by how swiftly she pivots away from her own grief and trauma - real and justified though it is - to remind us not to take our eyes off the women who were assaulted

- What's a "Canadian" value? Democracy? We have majority governments that only received 40% of the vote. How's that democratic? Freedom? I can't legally buy cocaine. Carney tried to pass a law to let the police read our mail without warrants, and most Canadians hardly cared. Equality? Lol.

- ICE detained multiple kids (all under the age of 10!) in the last week alone. Still kidnapping people based solely on the way they look. Still arresting parents at school pick up. Nothing has changed in Minnesota. Nice words from the Admin won’t change that. ICE leaving will.
- "As we left the hospital, I was escorted out through the back in a wheelchair. I observed over dozens of Border Patrol agents waiting outside the hospital,” Martinez said. “One of the agents came up to me with his cell phone and took a photograph of me ... Was this a trophy for him?” trib.al/qf9BPf6

- Michael B. Jordan keeps a stuffed black panther in his home as a tribute to Chadwick Boseman and their bond "It will forever remind me of him and the time we finally had a chance to work together" (via BAFTA)
- this might be the most incredible quote I've ever seen
- This is bonkers. MAHA 'farmers' with ecoli tainted raw milk admit they really don't know how to make the stuff after all. "Producing raw milk takes careful planning from a facility and infrastructure standpoint. Unfortunately, we learned this after the fact." people.com/ballerina-fa...
- 4 February 1901 | A Czech Jew, Josef Merksamer, was born in Prague. He was deported to #Auschwitz from Prague in late October 1944. He did not survive.

- This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.
- This is just sad.
