- 90% of corporate comms work is awaiting and implementing feedback from "leaders" who can't communicate effectively. I wish I could warn my 20-year-old self this is what I'll do with my journalism degree when I'm 40.
- KAITLAN COLLINS: What would say to Epstein survivo--- TRUMP: You are so bad. You are the worst report. No wonder CNN has no ratings. She's a young woman. I don't think I've ever seen you smile. They should be ashamed of you.
- Why do other reporters in the room not just follow up with "why do you think it's ok to talk to people like this?"
- Because they're cowards.
- And then all the reporters demanded he answer her question and departed in solidarity when he refused. Right? This is what we mean by "our elites fucking suck."

- If you're in Vancouver and think it's morally repugnant for a Canadian company to be signing contracts to support ICE "public relations," come join at 111 East 5th Ave at 3pm *today* to let @hootsuite.com know this is indefensibly vile.

- Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

- It’s that time of year. The zombie public relations stunt that simply won’t die. Blue Monday isn’t a thing, at all. It’s bullshit. Invented to help flog holiday bookings in January - that’s all it is. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

- A PR firm hired to produce ads in support of the CBC is the same firm that has, for years, been calling for the public broadcaster to be defunded through its right-wing Canada Proud Facebook pages, a @rorywh.bsky.social investigation finds.
- Weird to be commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Am Rev while living under a government that has a) sent armed troops to occupy cities perceived to be too rebellious, b) rendered largely irrelevant the representative branch of government, and c) claimed imperial right to rule other countries.

- 60 Minutes is one of only two documentary-style public affairs programs left on the air. The other is Frontline on PBS, which saw its funding gashed by the Trump admin and Congress. They have a matching donation rn. www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontli...

- Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.
