Aside from a relatively short reaction following the police killing of George Floyd in 2020, progressive church leaders nearly disappeared by the end of the first Trump administration. Now, are they coming back?

For The New York Times, I wrote about how Rod Serling create The Twilight Zone in part because it was the only way in the 1950 and 60s for him to comment on the subjects he cared about most, and how that's a good blueprint for contemporary media to deal with our surreal current moment:

No company, no family should control this much American media. That Skydance and the Ellison's are so closely aligned with the authoritarian in the White House makes it even more problematic. Highly recommend seeking out media- especially news outlets- NOT owned by right wing oligarchs.

Meanwhile, over on X, the Secretary of Homeland Security is posting about "vandalizing the demographics of America," a phrase which is either a chilling suggestion of white nationalism from Mullin or just straight pablum which means nothing but sounds just fash enough to excite the faithful.

“Vandalize the demographics of America” is either a chilling phrase suggesting that Mullin is a white nationalist or an absurdly meaningless bit of pablum which ignores 250 years of the constantly shifting demographics of a nation of immigrants.

Underneath is a picture of Mullin with a quote "How do you turn a country from democracy to socialism? You have to change the demographics."

It's easy to dismiss this as the clumsy seduction of an incestuous Collins-lover given that the author is a former Collins staffer. But PPH is the biggest paper in Maine and thus it's worth pointing out that if partisanship is not the cause of our problems, then bipartisanship is not the solution.

Michael Shannon’s R.E.M. tribute reminded me why I love the band

The actor’s show with Jason Narducy is more than nostalgia — it celebrates the band’s artistry.
