Op-ed: In authorizing #Florida bear hunt, state wildlife officials based their decision on old and outdated 2015 population estimates rather than current science. That's why everyone should oppose it. www.tampabay.com/viewpoints/2... via @sierraclub.org
The Sierra Club opposes Florida’s black bear hunt. Here’s why | Column

Why is this reported as some cutesy story every time it comes up, rather than the affront to the Constitution that it is? There is no context in which this is funny, quirky, or just "Trump being Trump." This is not charming patter; it's Putin territory.

I agree 100% with this post. The media's double standard on Trump makes us realize they aren't journalists at all. www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-poop...
Trump shits on America. Why doesn’t the media care?
For many news orgs, Trump’s fascist coalition is uniquely legitimate.

The Mercury had been the official paper of The University of Texas at Dallas since 1980. That was until students running the Mercury broke off and formed their own paper in response to the university's crackdown on pro-Palestinian expression on campus.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.
She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.
This is not about immigration enforcement.
It's about terrorizing Americans.

People are reading AI-generated synopses of books and then claiming they read 100 books in a week. This is how the abolition of books began in Fahrenheit 451: classics were condensed into five-minute summaries for those too busy to do the reading. Later came the burnings.
