“For news organizations, the issue isn’t responsibility, but survival. Autocratic leaders don’t want evidence-based journalism of any kind to exist at all: They want to shape reality, to decide themselves what is true and false.” — @anneapplebaum.bsky.social www.status.news/p/anne-apple...

Applebaum on Autocracy
Anne Applebaum warns that Sudan’s descent into chaos shows what happens when institutions fail—and why a free press is essential to prevent America from following the same path.

This kid made me a better person and I couldn’t ever think of anything better than being his mom. Other than being horribly rich with a chihuahua addiction. Happy 16th FRUIT OF MY LOINS!

Having kids while swinging from Ob*ma’s 8yrs 2 Trmp, then COVID, then Biden & now Trmp again has really showed the kid heading to college, just how much this country despises it’s children. There is no collective goal or hope for them other than to fall in line, stfu & do what they’re told.

To play “gotcha” games with victims of government cruelty to feed some perverse appetite for political schadenfreude would be depraved. "FAFO” may be a popular way for some on social media to answer the suffering of political opposites, but it’s poison to the journalist’s soul. My editor's note:

Editor’s Note | ‘FAFO’ is Poison to the Journalist’s Soul

People are NOT understanding what empty cargo ships from China means. It means no work for dock workers. No work for truck drivers, no work for retailers, fewer dollars circulating. The cascade effect is just mind boggling.

When the ports stop having stuff to load onto trucks and trains, the entire domestic supply chain starts to break down, too; it will not just be Chinese goods disappearing from the shelves.

So I found out our HR software tracks if we’re a retention risk and what our impact would be if we left the agency and my impact was listed as “significant”. So I need to ask for a raise. Because I had to look over three shoulders and around a corner to see that computer screen. 😭
