To me, this is not about knowing what is or being "right", but I've always taken it as what we should do when it comes to injustice.
We have come to far to turn back now. We leave in a great country & we can continue on the path to making it better for all, not just the few.

NEW: Publishers of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette announce they are shutting down the newspaper on May 3, 2026.
Hours ago, the Supreme Court of the US declined to extend a stay on a court order for the paper to pay its journalists following the end of a 3-year strike.

I get the idea. However, it does not have to be an “or” thing. Much of the media/news makes it where they want to focus on one thing only. There are many outlets & many hours to cover the multiple stories & issues. News media does not have to be like the seagulls in Finding Nemo.

Greenland is Trump’s favorite distraction trick that works every time.
He’s not going to seize Greenland. He’s not going to buy it. He’s going to keep using it to distract the media.
Every second of Greenland coverage is wasted time and a media win for Trump.

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.
A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."
Bovino was there.

This guy is one of a kind. If you don't have him on your radar you should fix that. Instead of gazing with wonder at the denialism five years later, he's warning the polity. Possibly the most valuable news anchor in the country. Kyle Klark at 9News Denver.
COMMENTARY: It seems an increasing number of Americans, including elected leaders and journalists, are afraid to tell the truth about what happened on January 6. That's dangerous.

He actually used the term "predator". There are so many ways to take that verbiage in this context, none of them are the positive spin he may think or want to imply with it.
“They’ve been in a relationship with Denmark” the same way Rhode Island has been in a relationship with the United States (longer, actually)
Ogles: "It's important that we have a stake in Greenland, that they are quite frankly a protectorate of the US. They've been in relationship with Denmark - that needs to end. We've spilled more blood protecting Greenland than the Danes... we are the dominant predator force in the Western Hemisphere"

I don't get to see Redhead ducks every often, so it was a treat to see a few of them at a local park.

It's official, according to administrators at Texas A&M, Plato is no longer part of the Western canon and must be removed.
