"Elon Musk is a white supremacist" is an objectively 100% true statement that most mainstream outlets wouldn't allow to be said without hedging or qualification even in an opinion piece.
i think you can judge how free - or not - our political media is by the fact that elon musk literally did a sieg heil (twice) at a rally and it’s still seen as uncouth and overly partisan (in legacy media) to describe his politics as straightforwardly white supremacist.

That Jeff Bezos's Amazon gave Brett Ratner, someone photographed with Jeffrey Epstein and in the Epstein Files, $75 million to make a doc about Melania Trump, while he chooses to destroy The Washington Post, says about all you need to know.

Here's another deep field image from JWST.
There's something pretty amazing hidden within it, which I'll talk about next.
But open up this image and lose yourself in this almost impossibly vast view of our Universe.
The six-pointed features are stars in the Milky Way. Everything else is a galaxy.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

i’ll say it again, jennings is a contemptible liar and it is a disgrace that CNN puts him on television every night to spread bullshit
The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

It’s days like today that remind us what a remarkable failure as a PM David Cameron was. Risked (and then lost) the UK’s position in the EU to head off the challenge of Nigel Farage to the Conservative Party.
