The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

BREAKING: Pete Hegseth just stated that he will mobilize the U.S. Marines, who are now on high alert, to California from Camp Pendleton in if he needs to.

Marines turned on US citizens.

Does this sound like America to you?

We’re in an age of digital (data) colonization & like the other age of imperialism/colonialism it couldn’t be achieved w/o some willing participation (knowing & unknowing) from many of those who’ll end up exploited/ victimized by it. That’s been most of US since at least the last 15+ yrs. #techsky

AOC: If anyone is breaking the law in this situation, it’s not members of Congress — it’s DHS. It’s people like Tom Homan and Secretary Kristi Noem. You lay a finger on Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman or any of the Representatives that were there… we’re going to have a problem.

It ought to be a huge story when a President refuses to affirm his oath to uphold the Constitution. Trump's "I don't know" interview warranted substantial #FrontPage coverage

NYT/WaPo/WSJ gave it minimal A1 coverage

Local outlets did much better!
