nuzzi / lizza misconduct imo enabled the destruction of so much public health & scientific research — and a resurgence in measles in the US. this is not petty tabloid gossip or inside baseball. that they went undetected or were rewarded while great reporters were laid off? it’s a huge system failure

the idea that it would’ve taken some special insight to be suspicious of Nuzzi’s reporting is so funny
I was right

If you want to see how quickly everyone goes into manufacturing consent mode, compare the full-court press tonight to the response to any of the people ICE has shot in the last few months, some of whom died.

"(Portland) is peaceful because EVERYTHING is gone, EVERY business is shut-down, restaurants are shut-down, and the people that are only roaming the streets here in Portland, Oregon, they're the GHOSTS, they're the ZOMBIES..."

I get a kick out of far-right MAGA "citizen journalists" from Texas.

🚨 COMMUNITY ALERT🚨

At LaGuardia Airport, there are several rumored and one confirmed ICE arrest of domestic travelers.

If you are at risk of detention or not sure, exercise caution while traveling. Make a safety plan in case of detention and consult an immigration attorney.

Police surveillance is bipartisan. No party has the monopoly mass surveillance--at the national security OR local level. People have *always* known the harms/vulnerabilities that come with it, but after this year, hopefully community power & authoritarianism will force politicians to see it as well.
Police have access to massive surveillance networks that track the public whether they are suspects or not. That means probably for every 1 officer caught using the system to harass or spy on people they have feuds with, ex's, activists, journalists, there are probably 100 more we don't know about.

An 18yo US citizen, surrounded by eight masked, armed agents of the state, taken into custody, not read his rights, not offered a chance to contact a lawyer, proof of citizenship ignored, handcuffed so tightly he later required medical attention.

Profoundly, profoundly anti-American shit.

Okay so what I’m reading here, if this account is to be believed, is that Lizza and Nuzzi are complicit in withholding major dark political actions that have had insane implications for like, everybody. Journalistic malpractice doesn’t even begin to cover it
While there are often some ethical issues with making free PDFs of paywalled content, in this case it seems entirely justifiable, given the author, the subject, and the journalistic imperative to provide the widest possible audience for the verb "Michael Wolffed"

I was telling @comicfoil.bsky.social earlier about my holy grail, passed on when I was 9 because I thought it was too big an ask of my mom. I obtained it via eBay several years ago, and upon unwrapping and smelling the 45-year old newsprint, wept for a minute.

What’s a book/issue you’ve waited on?

On the B side of this single, is the original vocal cut on the rhythm by Joy White. It's a cover version of the Barbara Acklin soul tune...

Hegseth’s reference to “this nation’s Christian faith” at the end is notable. America is NOT a Christian nation, just for the record. It’s a nation in which everyone is free to worship however they want.
Pete Hegseth says Trump has asked him to add 500 more National Guard troops to Washington D.C.

It's unclear why he seems to be smirking throughout much of this.

#CoverCulture | Jerry Jones arrived in Kingston for a one-week gig and ended up cutting a reggae version of ‘Compared To What’ with Coxsone Dodd. The original, written by Gene McDaniels and first recorded by Les McCann, later became a powerful protest anthem. Both takes hit hard in their own way.
