not the point here but as a reminder re: "mental institutions" trump has for years misunderstood seeking asylum to be related to insane asylums. he's made the error repeatedly but never corrected on it because anyone around him who corrects him gets replaced by someone willing to tell him he's right

“WE. ARE. AT. WAR. And it echoes in the silence of legacy media, who would rather look away from the crumbling edges of democracy. Trump sold the government to a tech billionaire who has his sights on dismantling federal agencies to enrich himself”—yes, the Nazi salute billionaire.
I am very tired, but wrote this, quickly, to capture what I could since we live in the days of media erasure. Tonight there was a #protest at the #treasury and most #news did not see fit to cover it while it unfolded. I captured posts, video, and quotes as I could--I linked to @indivisible.org
We Are At War

"Plastic pollution in Lake Erie soared over the past decade, research shows"

Lake Erie is being polluted at a ridiculous rate.

The last line of this post, and his bit at the end where he catches himself before admitting "do we do things like that? Yes" is just so fun. He's squirming because he knows someone like Lina Kahn is excited to flip through some documents in a few years.
Dimon on why JPMorgan Chase is not funding WH Ballroom:
We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

I repeat myself, but there is no ethical blogging under capitalism, and people gotta draw their own lines, but you should be aware that many people in your potential audience very much have their own lines and you are crossing them.

Why is she even on this show and why is she being asked about this? She was a low-level DHS press flack in Trump 1.0 and reportedly worked with Elon Musk for a few months in 2.0 and now runs a podcast.

Sure, the government has a right to its own opinion, unencumbered by the First Amendment. It can spin what’s “the truth” however it wants.

But selectively attacking news organizations and possibly inciting imminent lawless action against individual reporters is a whole ‘nother level of deplorable.

I seem to remember Fox News and MAGA going apoplectic over Joe Biden’s so-called “ministry of truth” against misinformation.

And yet, now we have a “media bias” monitor that is going after news and opinion the White House doesn’t like, singling out reporters by name: www.whitehouse.gov/mediabias/

You can reliably hang most every bad thing we have going to Reagan but every bad thing in the specific way they are bad today is, you guessed it, the War on Terror.
Jon Stewart on the Daily Show into getting folded into the fully realized 24 hour news cycle of the 90s is when I'd date it. Getting news from comedians becoming mainstream shifts comedians from gadflies to newsmakers. That made a lot more comedians take on the "cultural critic" role.

The U.S. poverty line for a family of four is $32,150.

However, investor Michael W. Green argues it should be more than four times higher, a threshold that would classify most American households as living “in poverty” by his measure.
An investor called $140,000 the new poverty line. Experts disagreed but said he had a point.
Michael Green’s tally of the costs of raising a family in the U.S. today is going viral, even if some economists scoff at his math.

I know it’s really not the point, but this is a federal crime and here we have some of the most influential influencers on the planet (including one person with direct ties to the richest person in world) hyping it up for views.

/To be clear, I don’t think it should be a federal crime. But it is.
