My first piece for @theguardian.com on MBS’s visit to the U.S., seven years after Jamal Khashoggi’s murder.
Trump’s America is beginning to look like MBS’s Saudi Arabia— which Jamal warned me about.

Jamal Khashoggi’s plight and murder was a warning sign for the US, of the impending loss of freedom and censorship that would sweep the country

Guys, it’s about getting power away from Trump and the Project 2025 evil. Beating them is absolutely going to take uniting with people you vehemently disagree with and on some level abhor. Trump won because he got the gnarliest and broadest coalition possible. Wanna beat him? Play that game.

The Secret of Roan Inish (1994). Why did John Sayles not direct all the movies? He’s one of the great humanitarian directors who can move you without resort to sentimentality. This Irish fable is such a beautiful piece of work with Haskel Wexler plainly enjoying the light and colour of Ireland.

Stop listening to people who can only tell you what “will never work”, and the only suggestions they have maintain the status quo in a different flavor. A new world is possible. It will not just require us to vote, protest, campaign, fundraise, and fight, it will require rediscovering imagination.

I got an actual "Your silence on this subject is deafening" message this AM, so, super-quick: Nobody here owes anyone commentary about anything. This is a public park. It's full of interesting people. We hang out here, make friends, and chat, and then we leave to do whatever it is we do. That's it!

I do think the biggest way in which Donald Trump has broken journalism is his lack of shame. It used to be that exposing a public figure's secret appalling sins would cause them shame, humiliation and a loss of job. This made journalism consequential. But Trump just shrugs and nothing happens
Media standards:
1) No Democratic scandal on par with Trump-Epstein, so it’d be biased and unfair to five it much attention.
2) Trump wouldn’t be shamed into resigning and his cult of personality wouldn’t abandon him, so Trump-Epstein wasn’t worth pursuing.
Way too many think that’s journalism.

You’re welcome to spread the news that democrats don’t give a shit if Democrat politicians or “liberal elite” are in the Epstein files.
We actually care about truth and justice and the prosecution* of ALL and ANY child sex traffickers is what’s important.
