Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

Overturning the civil rights movement is quite the freaking goal, white guy.
It is impossible to understand the Supreme Court’s Voting Rights Act cases without the context that John Roberts has hated the Voting Rights Act since he was working to water it down as a 26-year-old Reagan staffer. This is his life’s work, and he can’t wait to finish the job.
Killing the Voting Rights Act Is John Roberts’s Life’s Work
As a 26-year-old Reagan staffer, Roberts was already convinced the Voting Rights Act had to go. He can’t wait to finish the job.

COMING TO A CITY NEAR YOU
📢

This President is openly broadcasting that he plans to violate the Posse Comitatus Act.

TRUMP: The militarization we’ve seen so far is just “the start.”

“We’re going to go into other cities that we’re not talking about purposely. We’re getting ready to go in.”

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!
Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

Nothing creepy at all about any of this.
Not his voice.

Not the fact that he's standing next to an adjudicated rapist who's almost certainly also a pedophile.

Nope, nothing to worry about here.

Politico just published a piece about the leaked Republican chats, saying it could be a sign of where we're headed. I have bad news for them—we're already there. Just look around. These people are running our government.

Jeffries: "The notion that the No Kings rallies are anything but a patriotic act consistent w.the 1A right to express yourself & petition the govt for change in policy continues to reveal that Republicans are clueless as it relates to the Constitution, or they continue to lie for political reasons."

NEW: The defense attorney for Marimar Martinez, the woman shot by Border Patrol in Brighton Park, says he needs a chance to examine the car of the agent that collided with hers.

But the def atty says the agents was allowed to "drive it back to Maine" — 1,100 miles away.
Alexakis assures them she won't set a trial date today. Ruiz's attorney is not here. Another lawyer is standing in for him.

Emergency!

We need every democracy loving American to show up either in person or digitally for No Kings Day this Saturday, so tell all you friends.

Protest is one of the most patriotic things you can do.

It shows that you care enough to make change.

If you think that professors exist as repositories of knowledge that students ask for answers, you’re missing the entire point of a college education.

We’re here to teach students how to do research, how to analyze and argue, how to think for themselves — how to find the answers on their own.
Wow. Just wow.

"Students pay premium prices for information that AI now delivers instantly and for free. A business student can ask ChatGPT to explain supply chain optimization or generate market analysis in seconds. The traditional lecture-and-test model faces its Blockbuster moment."

Higher Education Must Stop Competing with AI on Information and Start Teaching What Machines Can’t Do

I don't have advice beyond this is who the industry is and move accordingly. And if you're at a protest this weekend and a reporter approaches you, take the time to Google their name and at least skim their work. I've had sources straight up tell me they googled me first and they should

Those people. The people earning unlivable wages.

It took the climare desk forever to cover the climate protests for similar reasons. They had to get too big to ignore. That's a standard that say the tea party or the early open up protests during covid weren't held to.

Two examples i know of from nyt one heresay one not.

When the fight for $15 was first kicking off a reporter i knew wanted to cover one of their protests. Their editor told them not to bother because, "those people" were always complaining about something.

Look it pains me to admit this as a member of the press but the media is one of the hindrances to social progress. They're inherently biased to the status quo and to power (which is why the Pentagon walk out stands out, but even the most establishment reporter has red lines).
