Sadly @poynterinstitute.bsky.social left off the horrific unconstitutional treatment of journalist Mario Guevara. Guevara was arrested covering a protest in ATL, detained over 100 days in rural GA, deported to El Salvador for his journalistic work filming police. www.poynter.org/commentary/2...

It should be bigger news that Leslie Wexner, the person most responsible for Jeffrey Epstein's wealth and entrée into circles of power, is currently ducking a subpoena in a case brought by victims of sexual assault by an Ohio State doctor which occurred while Wexner was on the OSU board of trustees.

I found it. The Bari Weiss/CBS News town hall promo for feminism does indeed use a 1964 photo of Beatles fans.

New: here's how a U.S. citizen was scanned with ICE's facial recognition tech. Jesus Gutiérrez was stopped in Chicago by agents, he said he was a citizen. Still detained, put in a car. Only after they scanned his face did they let him go. From 404 Media and Reveal: www.404media.co/how-a-us-cit...

I wrote about right-wing media's escalating attacks on women, from pushing for birth control restrictions to pressuring young women to leave the workforce. A new hire at The Heritage Foundation, Scott Yenor, exemplifies this trend, but it goes far beyond him. New at @mmfa.bsky.social

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness.

I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.
