I’ve been writing about politics in some capacity for over 25 years now and it’s still stunning how the mainstream media refuses to tell the public basic truth

The deadly Caribbean strikes—illegal, unethical, and bad strategy all at once—aren’t conducted through some automated process. People select the targets and pass them along, likely with claims about intelligence. People give the order to fire, and execute the command.

Who is a very good question.

Cheryl Rofer @cherylrofer.bsky.social · 4d

I would really, really like to know about the targeting process and then who gives the command.

Do you ever think about the fact that Wikipedia is the last good major website on the internet? You aren't bombarded with ads. It doesn't try to push video on you, and it doesn't redirect you to a scam site.

They're about to shut down the government to protect the Epstein Files from disclosure. Whatever is in the files must be so unhinged as to be beyond imagination.

This is horrific and feels like it should be a bigger deal. Business Insider reports that people who have worked at xAI have seen Grok create images and written material with child sex abuse material.

Behind Grok's 'sexy' settings, workers review explicit and disturbing content

Workers say they've faced sexually explicit content while xAI has marketed Grok to be deliberately provocative. Experts say the company should be cautious.

More than the Fourth Reich Rally that happened in Arizona yesterday, what bothers me more is the number of people who showed up for the rally and the number of people sharing things like "What a moving memorial!" on social media.

Oh. My. God. Profoundly twisted framing from @nytimes.com The casual reader of this hed and subhed would have exactly zero inkling that this is likely corrupt or even illegal or unconstitutional. Euphemistic to the point of absurdity.

What’s at stake here is free speech.

Across the board, we’ve seen the Trump administration use the power of government to go after anybody who’s criticized them — and in this case, Jimmy Kimmel.

We need to all stand up and speak out.

If ever we have another Dem President, the 1st exec order I want them to sign is to take Fox News off air.
All media corps are betting that things will be back to normal when a Dem comes back to power..and they could just get away with bending their backs to this broad daylight authoritarian rape.

a big reason companies are caving this hard is that they're banking on hunkering down for the next 3.5 years and then coasting by when the dust settles

Democrats need to make it very clear that there will be future consequences for defecting in this prisoner's dilemma

ABC (fired Kimmel for criticizing Trump) & CBS (fired Colbert for criticizing Trump) are now state media. Trump controls them. We need to break up these corporate media conglomerates before they completely destroy our democracy.

Probably too optimistic but I feel like picking a fight with the people who are literally professionals at making fun of people is going to work out badly.
