It's tempting to use the word "cowards" to describe the BBC producers and/or executive leaders who killed this segment on the killers of Hind Rajab. But the COWARDICE is systemic, not personal, and by no means limited to the media. It's the norm, not the exception. The correct word is COMPLICITY.

Props to Ken Burns for publicly acknowledging the limitations of his prior work. Side note: This reminds me of the no-smoking ad John Waters recorded for the Nuart Theatre in LA, which was still being played at the UC Theatre in Berkeley in the late 90s.

An interesting public media initiative one year after the Great Defunding. "WAMC is building a new collaborative with newsrooms around the region, including the [Albany] Times Union, The Berkshire Eagle, and the Adirondack Explorer to meet this need and reach people where they live."

Every human on Earth belongs to a single biological species. Racism hinges on the false belief that physical differences have any inherent significance whatsoever. Building one's identity on claims of another's inferiority is a sign of pathological insecurity. White supremacy is weaksauce.

X is what's left when you drop the SE from SEX. This elision is not accidental: it's a Freudian parapraxis, a "motivated forgetting." The name itself tells us what the incels on X are trying to supress: In Spanish, "se" is a reflexive pronoun—meaning it's an action you only ever do to yourself.

The 21st-century klan wears red caps instead of white hoods, consumes Fox News and alt-right podcasts instead of The Searchlight and other klan publications, and has traded secrecy for center stage. It has achieved what the 1920s klan could only aspire to: control over every branch of government.

Targeting noncombatants is a war crime. Journalists are noncombatants. Aid workers are noncombatants. The overwhelming majority of people living in neighborhoods that have been flattened by the IDF are noncombatants. There is no justification, legal, moral or otherwise, for these heinous crimes.

I find it incredible — as in literally not credible — that when the president orders fast food delivery in DC, the driver who shows up is the same person who's shown up in multiple videos with Rs from multiple states. Grammy may be a gig worker, but she's also on the payroll.

Like Faulkner said, "The past is never dead. It's not even past." As an undergrad in the early 90s, I took an interdisciplinary class called "Hate," co-taught by a cultural historian and a social psychologist. Things today are, like, 87 times worse. (95% CI [1, 999], p = .00001)

Stellar reporting by @lewisgoodall.com with jaw-dropping interviews & thoughtful commentary. Watch the entire video. Pay attention to segments on the right-wing mediaverse (27:47) and so-called "patriot economy" (37:34). The infrastructure + demand that's been built ain't going away anytime soon!

A new bill from @wyden.senate.gov and @balint.house.gov would give real teeth to an important federal law meant to protect journalists from searches and raids. We’re proud to endorse this update to the Privacy Protection Act.

New bill would fix law that’s failing journalists

Police keep raiding reporters without telling courts about the Privacy Protection Act of 1980. An update to the act from Sen. Wyden and Rep. Balint would put a stop to it

It is impossible to overstate the degree to which the entire national political media's coverage of the 2024 presidential campaign, especially once Harris won the nomination, was deeply, fundamentally, shamefully unserious about the stakes & the candidates.
