For years we've heard that Biden created a "Ministry of Truth," which didn't actually happen. But, I still hear people talking about it. But then Trump directed his FCC boss to be a literal Minister of Truth and the story disappeared within a day or two. What are we even doing here?

Another sign of fascism taking hold in US: Trump capriciously bans 3 news outlets & the sign? The rest of the press hasn't responded by starving the admin of oxygen by refusing to cover any admin official. No TV or podcast appearances. Reporters base stories on info fr other sources. RESIST

2. To pass the Senate, the Clarity Act needs at least 7 Democratic votes. They are demanding provisions to curb Trump’s corruption. On Monday, Republicans released a new version which they claimed imposed meaningful ethics requirements on Trump. It does not.

The sponsors of the legislation claim they have added meaningful ethics restrictions. Here are the facts.

After we pause to honor the dead, wounded, & heroes, let's talk about media. Because except for those in the NYC, DC, and PA areas who were direct witnesses, most of us "experienced" 9/11 through our TV sets. That needs to be part of our reflection today. #MediaLiteracy #civics #NewsLiteracy🍎📚

There’s such an easy answer to this “gotcha” question and it’s “Sports are inherently unsafe and unfair and it’s ridiculous to single out trans athletes when we allow 150 pound linebackers to go up against 260 pound linemen in freshman football on a daily basis. Let kids play with their friends.”

Trump just rescinded the 2021 FTC Health Breach Notification Rule (16 CFR Pt 318). So, apps that have your health info don't have to report breaches to users. Your health info could be handed to govt & you'd never know. In practice, this shields period-tracking apps breached by anti-abortion zealots

ProPublica spoke to dozens of people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. ➡️ This is what they wrote:

Handwritten notecard. Prompt at the top asks: What object was most devastating for you to lose, and how have you been coping? Answer below: Dentures. Were thrown away and coping isn't somthing I can do. It’s made me feel ugly, unworthy, can’t go get a job with no teeth. So how can get off the streets until another pair can be made?

I’ve lost track of the number of times an immigrant has told me they had to sit on a prison bus in the back of an airport for six, 10, 20 hours with no food or water and being told to urinate in a corner or onto themselves.

A screenshot of a White House tweet styled after The Magic School Bus cartoon but this one says “The Magic Deportation Bus” and shows shackled brown men in the back. The White House account says “Please let this be a normal field trip…” One put gray text over the whole thing that says “FASCIST PROPAGANDA.”
