CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

Nearly finished with this ink drawing of an 1896 building in Alameda. Just a few finishing touches remaining. Bottom floor is a bar/pub, upper floors are apartments. #art #alameda

Great advice

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · Sep 21

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

New: Sarah MacLachlan, Jewel, and more musicians scheduled to perform at tonight's premiere for Hulu's ABC News doc LILITH FAIR have all pulled out after Disney scrapped the red carpet. First notable talent consequence of the Jimmy Kimmel situation.

I just wanna mention that the musicians at Farm Aid did more tonight to call out the blatant corruption & fascism in Washington DC than Democratic “leaders” like Chuck Schumer & Hakeem Jeffries have done in 9 months.

Gov Newsom response upon hearing the firing of Kimmel:

“Buying and controlling media platforms. Firing commentators. Canceling shows. These aren’t coincidences. It’s coordinated. And it’s dangerous. The @GOP does not believe in free speech. They are censoring you in real time," Newsom said.

As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.

As many as 100 Epstein victims will attend Washington rally Wednesday

The rally comes as lawmakers Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) want a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives to force Attorney General Pam Bondi to release Epstein files.

Yeah, nice try trail guys! Not falling for this one again. After earlier detours to Doughnut Lake, Ribeye Steak Lake, and Wealthy Single Women Lake, I finally learned my lesson. These Sierra lakes rarely offer what is implied in their name.
