You can tell we're a country of idiots by how easily we're convinced to debate the 1% of trans people who want the right to live their lives authentically and safely and don't negatively impact our lives instead of the billionaires who spend every day making our lives genuinely tangibly worse.

New: Since DOGE cut the statistical arm of the Education Department, basic facts about American schools are no longer readily available. Some of these data points can be found elsewhere but are now harder to track down. Others simply don't exist anymore. www.chalkbeat.org/2026/05/07/e...

For today, we need to also hold up the fierce freedom fighting legacy of Coretta Scott King, Dr. King’s political partner. Eight ways to be like her for our struggle today.

My Stop the Presses newsletter calls for a dramatic change of tactics by major media to produce "radically truthful” news that defeats the right-wing disinformation industry. Right now, the media are getting slam-dunked by fascist liars. Here’s a thread with my 10 main points. 🧵🧵🧵

How to build a radically truthful news outlet

The old ways don’t work. Time to declare war on the liars.

Here's what I sent them. Not my greatest writing, but it doesn't have to be perfect. Please submit your own comment today before 11:59 pm ET. www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD...

I have read that you're planning to prevent people under 65 from getting new COVID vaccines. I am writing to demand you walk that decision back and allow anyone who wants to get COVID vaccines as we have been for the past four years. I got COVID in the first wave in New York City, before the vaccines, and I never want to get it again. Without the vaccines, COVID will spread more quickly and each infection will be more severe, with more people developing long COVID. If you deny us the right to make our own choices and get vaccinated, you will be responsible for the sickness and deaths of potentially thousands of people. You will also be responsible for destroying the economy and security of our country. Let us make our own choices and get the vaccines we want and need.

Can’t make Trump’s unfitness for office the talking point: that’s “boring”. So, gotta go with what gets the attention now, and that’s arguing that Biden is unfit. Once again: there are legitimate questions about Biden, but the attack dogs are more interested in controversy than enlightenment.

I love how the New York Times, which ran more than five dozen articles on Gay and almost single handedly maintained the drumbeat for her resignation, switches into Neutral Observer Mode here. www.nytimes.com/2024/01/06/b...

Excerpt from NYT article “Newspaper articles about Dr. Gay and the board kept coming.”
