What is happening in Louisiana right now is both a redistricting power grab and a dry run for authoritarian election subversion this Fall. The governor has declared a state of emergency to suspend the congressional elections because he doesn't like the current map.

Trump is paying off big corporations, with taxpayer money, to stop inexpensive clean energy, forcing the grid to buy more expensive polluting energy from Trump’s corrupt fossil fuel donors. It’s a racket, raising costs on purpose, to enrich political donors.

By 2040, it is projected that 70% of the U.S. population will live in just 15 states. This means 30% of the population—disproportionately rural, white, and conservative—will control 70 Senate seats.

Red states accused the Biden administration of "jawboning" -- coercing social media platforms to "censor" content (mostly COVID misinformation), merely by liaising and flagging false content for those companies. Now the FCC *explicitly threatens* a network over content but that's all good?

Is it important that the media can report the news without government censorship? In the United States, 92% say it is important. www.pewresearch.org/global/2025/...
A median of 61% across the 35 countries surveyed say it is very important that the media are able to report the news without state or government censorship in their country. A median of 23% say this is somewhat important; 11% say it’s not too or not at all important.

Majorities of adults in Canada (77%) and the U.S. (67%) believe having freedom of the press is very important in their country.

In Europe, the shares saying freedom of the press is very important range from 56% in Poland to 89% in Greece. Majorities across all countries in the region hold this view.

In the Asia-Pacific region, varying shares say it’s very important that the media can report the news without censorship. About four-in-ten hold this view in Bangladesh, India and Singapore, compared with about six-in-ten in Australia. Shares in other Asia-Pacific countries fall in between.

This has been coming from the beginning. All major democracy-supporting NGOs and foundations have their legal complaints already drafted. And in time, perhaps not even much time, they will win their cases. What is needed most in the meantime is courage. Keep saying what you think, doing what you do.

WHAT THE HELL
Karen,
I am writing to inform you that The Post is terminating your employment effective
immediately for gross misconduct. Your public comments on social media regarding the
death of Charlie Kirk violate The Post’s social media policies, harm the integrity of our
organization, and potentially endanger the physical safety of our staff.
Among other requirements, the Company-wide social media policy mandates that all
employee social media postings be respectful and prohibits postings that disparage people
based on their race, gender or other protected characteristics. The policy also reminds
employees that everything they post is a reflection on the Company and should not affect
the integrity of The Post’s journalism. Your postings on Bluesky (which clearly identifies you
as a Post Columnist) about white men in response to the killing of Charlie Kirk do not
comply with our policy. For example, you posted: “Refusing to tear my clothes and smear
ashes on my face in performative mourning for a white man that espoused violence is….
not the same as violence” and “Part of what keeps America so violent is the insistence that
people perform care, empty goodness and absolution for white men who espouse hatred
and violence.”
In addition, just last year, Opinions leadership asked everyone in the Opinions Department
to review the newsroom social media guidelines, attached those guidelines to an email to
the Department for review, and reiterated in that email the “bedrock principle that our use
of social media must never harm the journalistic integrity or reputation of The Post”.
The poor judgment exhibited by your public comments regarding Charlie Kirk arise against
the backdrop of documented performance concerns, which have been raised with you.
Given these concerns, and in light of your recent unacceptable Bluesky posts, we cannot
tolerate the risk your performance poses to The Post
