That feels very much like the British actions in the 1770s that ... checks notes ... led to the series of grievances listed in the Declaration of Independence and a legal system based around warrants, habeas corpus, and on and on....

Grievances of King George III, "He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Offices to harass out people, and eat out their substance..."

@lisamurkowski.bsky.social Then do something. My father was stationed in Fairbanks during WW2 for a reason.

The potential implications of this are chilling.

In 2016 the NYT ran multiple front page stories page about the grave national security risk of Hillary Clinton's server. Today's front page, and nary a mention of the successful "plutocratic coup" (said by a sitting House member) or "constitutional crisis (said by a sitting Senator) unfolding

USAID also assists countries transition to democratic elections (Paraguay, for example). Not surprising that it’s suddenly out of favor.

WIRED has been downright exceptional in covering this carnage.

Agreed. Where are the injunctions?

Institutional mission statements public and private are next, I fear.

The author posted a correction: It’s the Japanese-American Memorial to Patriotism during World War II.

Yes, let’s not scroll past what #AP has done. AP style sets norms in #journalism. If DT issues an EO renaming DC “Trumpopolis,” or some such, will AP fold? My book #RacializingObjectivity has a lot to say about the AP, language and political power.

Gwyneth Mellinger @gwynmell.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

Deeply disappointed that #AP has decided very quickly to obey in advance. My book #RacializingObjectivity looks at AP’s use of language in calibrating news values and bowing to political power.

I used to think that journalism was the essential profession, until I became a historian.

Please remind the TikTok community that DT started this with an executive order in 2020. The next owner will be selected by DT and will make it an extension of X, Truth Social, etc. The platform they will get back won’t be the same.

It may be called something else, but I am optimistic that DEI’s core principles will eventually be reaffirmed in education, employment etc. First, however, we need consensus on democratic values.

If it wasn’t clear before, it is now: Bezos is burning it to the ground.

Grateful to see my new book, “Racializing Objectivity,” receive a nod from a fellow historian.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Many people are still avoiding news. This is why they’re playing into the authoritarian strategy.

Freedom, not profit, should be the first loyalty of a democratic press.

We don’t talk about this enough. Fairness Doctrine repeal normalized right wing lies and conspiracies.

Thank you @mcuban.bsky.social and CostPlus. My husband’s cancer drug is $100 a month cash from you instead of $2500 (with insurance). Grateful.

I’ve been here for a few weeks getting a feel for the conversation. Ready to talk about history, culture, journalism and politics.
