“Being a reporter today and navigating the internet landscape, it's actively disempowering. So you need all of the support you can get. And a lot of media institutions aren't providing that support.” I was honored to speak to Embedded about going independent!

Absolutely this. I’ve been reporting on ASMR for over a decade now. It’s a relaxation tool that is supposed to produce sensations associated with being calm and happy, even lulling people to sleep. The White House invoking it alongside immigrants being shackled w/o due process is social manipulation
I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

Almost two weeks ago, I found out I was one of 40 people getting laid off from NBC News.
Those who know me know I’ve wanted to go independent for a long time. Later this month, I’m launching @spitfirenews.com. We need journalism that is louder than ever.
