I don’t know if anybody understands anything anymore. Or maybe it’s me who doesn’t understand.
We fought the bloodiest civil war this country has ever seen for birthright citizenship. We amended the Constitution. We have all understood what that amendment meant--from the moment it was debated in Congress to this moment now.

I feel strongly that media should not call this a "crackdown" on free speech. That word implies something illegal is being righteously targeted and rooted out. It's the same framing that has obfuscated the admin's "crime" and immigration policies. Just call it censorship.

As usual @onthemedia.bsky.social brings the sanity. Probably the most sane Charlie Kirk coverage I've listened to (alongside @iwriteok.bsky.social and @bishonentype.bsky.social) and an illuminating piece on who the hell this Bari Weiss lady I've been hearing so much about recently.

- Brooke and Micah on the misinfo following the murder of Charlie Kirk.
- @oliverdarcy.bsky.social on how CBS is caving to conservative pressure.
- @notalawyer.bsky.social unpacks the influence and ideology of Bari Weiss + the Free Press
