Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.
This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

Thank-yous & more thank-yous to @elegystreet.bsky.social and Ann Fisher-Wirth for including my poem "I read that the moon is rusting" (first published in wildness) in their gorgeous anthology Attached to the Living World. I'm out of my depth in this crowd of poets & also so, so grateful.

3.5%: the magic number
US population is 347,275,807
3.5% is what’s needed - 12,154,653 Americans. It is estimated that 5 million may have protested yesterday.
It’s working, people are mobilised and this can be a successful resistance. Mainstream media needs to cover this too!!
