👇🎯 The problem with building your entire staff & business model around covering politics as theater/sporting events is that your entire staff/business model is completely unequipped for covering politics as policy/governance, or for dealing with a far right authoritarian party interested in neither.

Looking to start a new newspaper comprised of refugees from LAT, WaPo, NYT, & elsewhere. Our motto will be “Hold the Door.” We will fund it Robin Hood style, by robbing data centers, as soon as we figure out how.

It's not just Los Angeles. It's all of southern California, from Ventura to San Diego that's seeing off-the-charts wildfire risk right now.
The worst case scenario Wednesday is 85mph winds fueling simultaneous urban firestorms across the entire region.

"Now that Patel is in the running to head one of the most powerful agencies in the U.S. government, the question of whether he will really 'come after' journalists is troubling both sides of the aisle ..."
Kash Patel once said he would 'come after' journalists. It now hangs over his FBI candidacy.
Trump's pick for FBI director has vowed to "come after" the media. But he also later emphasized to NBC News that his comments apply only if people "broke the law."

NEW: X has become a hotbed of neo-Nazi content under Elon Musk. We identified the operators of four anonymous accounts that share racist, antisemitic, and neo-Nazi content. Three live in Texas. Musk has replied to two of them. One works for the Navy.

This is the guy Trump is installing as FCC chair.
The point here, IMO, is not that he’s going to go in and start yanking licenses.
But by saying things like this he can intimidate broadcasters into covering the Trump administration more favorably.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance, which commemorates the lives of trans people killed in acts of anti-trans violence. Black transgender women, in particular, are disproportionately killed in the U.S., according to deaths tracked by the Human Rights Campaign.

One thing to hold fast to is that so much of the work we do to fight fascism is also work that builds a better world. Building community, building power at work, forming bonds and practices of solidarity all lead us towards a better society, particularly if we approach it with that orientation.
