I have only recently discovered this chap @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com, but his daily skewerings of Trumplethinskin give me succour. The combination of outrage, satire and surgical analysis are nail on the head. He and simonmarksfsn.bsky.social are bastions of proper journalism.

@marcdavenant.bsky.social has certainly heard it @memorialdevice.bsky.social, and it's fair to say he heard it a long time ago...Time to bestow the #MDANT I think.

Peaceful protesters yesterday, writing the words on their placards which will convert them from ordinary citizens to terrorists in the eyes of the government and the law. Words which put them in the same legal group as Osama bin Laden. The rank absurdity of Cooper’s decision captured in one photo.

"You photograph with all your ideology" - Sebastiao Salgado.
There is no such thing as neutrality when it comes to documentary photography –it’s a myth. You always take sides, either consciously or subconsciously, and acknowledging that is essential if your work is to maintain any element of authenticity. There’s nothing worse than fake neutrality.
