Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

I'd recommend Thoreau to ICE, but I doubt any of them can read.

"...if it is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then I say, break the law. Let your life be a counter-friction to stop the machine."

"Resistance to Civil Government" by Henry Thoreau; 1849.

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him.

I'm talking about something very different.

Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired.

Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to.

But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

If Jimmy Kimmel was fired for low ratings, why would ABC bring him back?

It’s almost as if the people who claimed this was about ratings are liars.

Just sent my best friend to the Rainbow Bridge.

I'm fine, but only in the American sense.

the fact that a sitting US president is talking about antifascism being terrorism should tell you a lot about what he thinks his own government represents

The United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry concluded that Israel had “flagrantly disregarded” international law and “orchestrated a genocidal campaign for almost two years now”.

After Charlie Kirk’s murder, Trump and his allies wasted no time crafting an insidious and baseless narrative: that the left is violent, the right is under siege, and only they can restore order. Sound familiar? The Nazis tried the same playbook.
Is Charlie Kirk Their Reichstag Moment?
Trump and the GOP are itching to exploit Kirk’s murder to expand their authoritarian aims

No, no. I'm not saying that about Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk said that about George Floyd.

Just in case anyone's interested in what he thought was fair to say about someone who was killed on camera.

Sorry – the killing of Charlie Kirk was wrong, but having his body flown on Air Force 2, flags at half-mast, having him lie in state, putting a statute of him in the Capitol, and giving him a Presidential Medal of Freedom are all entirely inappropriate.

SL Trib:

Shots fired at Charlie Kirk appearance in Orem. May have been hit.

"A question was being asked of Kirk about mass shootings when the gunfire was heard."

No comment.

Politics and social issues aside, this is not how I imagined 2025 would be.

I'll check back in 2068, see how it's going, then.

Strange that a person can be depressed, but not suicidal, and those who do unalive themselves may never show any obvious signs of distress.

Is it possible that there is a kind of self-destruction gene or personality tic that can go dormant for years, only to be triggered at some point?
