Forty years ago, 90% of media outlets were spread across 50 companies.

Now, just 5 companies control 90% of the media market.

This consolidation hurts consumers and helps oligarchs. 🧵

The RSF just attacked a kindergarten, killing at least 33 children in Sudan.

Meanwhile, the Trump Admin. continues to sell arms to the UAE, who are aiding these atrocities.

Imagine if Trump spent as much time trying to stop the killing, as he did getting the UAE to invest in his crypto coin.

Can't believe our tax dollars are going to be spent settling the upcoming exorbitant defamation suit with Sabrina Carpenter, but maybe this is just how public arts funding is going to work now.
Sabrina Carpenter ratioed the White House after it used her song in an ICE video.

The WH deleted the post…but now it’s back with a new ICE video, this time using an altered clip from Carpenter’s SNL monologue.

Mamdani: Oftentimes when we win elections, we tell people to go home and just trust us. But the message really has to be that we want you to come along with us… That’s something we’ve been looking to share with New Yorkers: We want to not only win with New Yorkers, but also govern with New Yorkers.

Everyone should be boycotting the World Cup.

Everyone should be boycotting the Olympics.

The US has become a fascist state and should lose the right to host these games

Refuse to normalize the behaviour.

Vote with your dollar and encourage others to do the same.

democratic legitimacy is about the consent of the governed and we simply do not need to consent to this court's lawless jurisprudence.

court packing, jurisdiction stripping, congressional oversight, DOJ investigations into corruption ... we have levers to bring the court to heel

i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.

I've had plenty of Christian conservative students. Some brilliant, some solid, some who struggled. Not one would have attempted to hand in that OSU essay. I think in peer review they'd have shot it down in a second for laziness, sloppiness. Nothing to do with faith.

i’m at the brooklyn training. amazing energy.
@handsoffnyc.bsky.social is training thousands of New Yorkers on how to protect their neighbors from ICE. Today, they are currently running two trainings in Brooklyn and the Bronx, both of which hit capacity because interest was so high.

This is the way, y’all—we protect each other, and we know it.

The reason Pete Hegseth runs defense is because he is willing to look like a complete asshole in front of the military and still demand to be taken seriously. He has no shame and no conscience. That's the program. Nuzzi is one of these people, and she's willing to screw old white men too? Stop it.

damn really makes you reflect on the numerous other times the US government and its proxies have said "terrorists" were using "human shields"
It’s clear from the video this woman had just come to the park to play with her child. She said as much and was upset that there were masked men with guns in the park.

Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino calls the woman an “activist” and Andy Ngo says the woman was using her child as a “human shield.”

People think this is about whether she helped RFK's campaign but it's really about whether she helped Trump's. She was helping her boyfriend (or whatever the fuck he was) get a role in the Trump administration while writing about the election.
bsky.app/profile/mich...
And she covered Trump's campaign while her lover was negotiating for a role in his administration!
The details are gross both aesthetically and morally, but Nuzzi played a consequential role in the ending of a sitting president’s re-election bid. Even if you don’t include her role in RFK then getting DHHS, that alone is worth discussing
