Great episode last night. It reminds me of @nellminow.bsky.social’s late father Newton Minow who helped give birth to public broadcasting in the US. Saving public broadcasting is absolutely crucial at a time when our media is owned by far-right oligarchs obsessed with weaponizing the airwaves.

At some point, the media elite decided that Olivia Nuzzi is one of their own now and forever, and to rehabilitate her, they have to recast RFK Jr. as a grand romantic. It's disgusting all the way around, especially the parody of class solidarity that binds the rich and connected.
And while he is upturning the consensus on vaccines and eroding any remaining public trust in science, the NYT, Vanity Fair etc are laundering this man's reputation and impact as some kind of romantic figure, when he is truly dangerous.
He may not lob bombs, but his death toll will be significant.
He may not lob bombs, but his death toll will be significant.
Today RFK Jr. both suggested that aluminum adjuvants in vaccines cause peanut allergies *and* admitted there are no data to support this hypothesis, so he wants to find some.
Like if you took the scientific method, turned it backward and inside out and made it puke, you’d get RFK Jr.’s thoughts.

The East Wing’s very plainness came to symbolize the functional modesty of democratic government: a space for staff, not spectacle; for the sustaining rituals of civic life, not the exhibition of personal glory. All of that is now gone, Adam Gopnik writes. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
Why Trump Tore Down the East Wing
The act of destruction is precisely the point: a kind of performance piece meant to display Trump’s arbitrary power over the Presidency, including its physical seat.

DHS released a glossy ICE raid video straight out of an authoritarian playbook: helicopters over Chicago, 900 people swept up, children separated, citizens detained. They call it “Operation Midway Blitz.” I call it despicable state propaganda masking terrorist constitutional crimes.

Such a pleasure to talk with @charlotteclymer.bsky.social at the @clintonglobal.bsky.social Initiative about international human rights, hope, and how even in dark times, our solidarity makes us powerful.
At CGI 2025, I got a few moments with Liz Schuler, President of the AFL-CIO since 2021 and the first woman to lead the organization. We talked labor organizing, working class families, human rights, and why young people give her hope.

On the campaign trail, Trump promised to release the Epstein files. Now that survivors are naming him as Epstein’s close friend, he’s calling it a “hoax.”
