This piece, about the dogged determination of the Cornell Daily Sun journalists, is incredible. Give these women Pulitzers. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/29/n...

Remember this scene the next time a corporate reporter tries to insist that a rural diner full of white men in their 60s is somehow a more authentically "American" place, somehow more representative of who we are as a nation.

There’s so much awful stuff happening and I get that this isn’t the worst but kudos to @ronlieber.bsky.social for staying on this story about the latest institutions (Fidelity, Vanguard, Schwab) caving to the corrupt regime.

UPDATE: Vanguard has also stopped allowing its donor advised fund customers to give to the Southern Poverty Law Center. Schwab still seems to allow it but is dragging its feet on official comment. We'll see what the afternoon brings. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/b...

This is an egregious example of obeying in advance and I’m glad @ronlieber.bsky.social wrote this piece. Fidelity: for shame. Tip of the iceberg. Everyone else: @splcenter.org has NOT lost its 501x3 status and is open for donations. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/b...

Betsy Gleick @betsygleick.bsky.social · 25/04/2026
To explain: Fidelity (and others but I use Fidelity) offers “donor-advised funds,” where one can puts $ in a fund, get the tax deduction, then one makes any 501c3 donations via that fund. It’s handy! But Fidelity is refusing to send my donation from last week—**my money**—to @splcenter.org
021
Betsy Gleick @betsygleick.bsky.social · 25/04/2026
Boosting this, and paging all reporters: same. @splcenter.org is still a 501c3. Fidelity, I’ve read your fine print but am still absolutely outraged, and you should be ashamed.

Having also just watched All the President’s Men last week for the 89th time, I can attest that this piece by @brezwrites.bsky.social perfectly captures all the feelings the movie brings up—rage, heartbreak, and a reminder of why so many of us became journalists or believe in journalism

Why was it *readers* who discovered the metaphors often didn’t make sense and it contained likely hallucinations? It is an editor’s job to catch that stuff. That’s why they have a salary and benefits!

Millions of viewers tonight will observe a man increasingly disconnected from reality ramble on in a disordered fashion about how great he is. Then they'll see news coverage that makes it sound like this is normal. presswatchers.org/2026/02/trum...

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL: When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.
