The New York Times knows crime is not “out of control” in major U.S. cities — in fact, crime is way down from past years and decades — but NYT amplifies JD Vance’s lie without a fact check.
It’s journalism malpractice that helps the fascists.

Between them, @carolecadwalla.bsky.social at @thenerve.news and @peterjukes.bsky.social at @bylinetimes.bsky.social have blown the Farageov treachery wide open.

The big UK media players are *u**ing cowards, and reveal themselves to be a stinking, corrupt part of the plot to destroy Britain.

For my piece today at @zeteo.com i wanted to truly underscore how punishingly stupid american fascism is now. Like, my original proposed headline for this was:

Our Democracy Is Imperiled Because One Old Man Won’t Stop ‘Yelling’ At His TV. zeteo.com/p/trump-addi...

Trump’s Addiction to Watching Fox Is Killing American Democracy

Our country is falling apart because one old man, Trump advisers and former administration officials say, won’t stop ‘yelling’ at his TV.

I’m Gen X. So as a kid, my summers meant getting shoved out of the house. Playing outside until dark. We swam, scraped our knees, fought, made up, and met girls. You had to make friends in the flesh. No choice.

I have a lot more to say, so check my video write-up.
