“We couldn’t report on the sinking of the Titanic until we spoke to Captain Smith.”
Weiss concluded: “We need to be able to make every effort to get the principals on the record and on camera. To me, our viewers come first, not a listing schedule or anything else. And that is my North Star, and I hope it's the North Star of every person in this newsroom.”

This is essentially what happened to Ahmaud Arbery. When white folks don’t want to mind their business, they are incredibly dangerous to Black folks. He’s recording because he knows that man would kill him if not.
Please Google “sundown towns” if you are somehow unfamiliar.
Expect more of these terrifying communities to become all the more dangerous for Black Americans, as Project 2025 policy implementation continues.
No coming back from this. The process is already 50% complete:

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism.
That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone.

CBS Pulled a “60 Minutes” Story Because the White House Refused to Comment — That’s a Veto on Journalism
Pulling a finished investigation because the administration refused to comment isn’t journalism. It’s submission.

i have no problem if Trump wants to put his name on this building, and it is much more fitting for him and what he has done in office. He can call it the Donald J. Trump White House of the Confederacy. Trump has done far more damage to America than Jefferson Davis ever hoped.

Before satellite mega-constellations began taking off in 2019, satellites used to go months without risking a collision in orbit.
Now they have less than a week to take evasive maneuvers, and the window keeps shrinking. My @sciam.bsky.social story below.

NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? 👇

This lawless behavior is par for the types of people DHS/ICE/CBP have recruited—the orgs are toxic to their core.
ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl.
Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.
They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.
Another horrific story.

on this day in 2012, 20 children and 6 adults are killed in mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT. And with the awful shooting at Brown University yesterday, we still haven't done anything on meaningful national gun laws. Enough is enough.
