Barr was one of the senior editors alleged to have banned Felicia Sonmez from covering Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing because she had spoken publicly about the experience - estimated to be shared by 1 out of every 6 women - of being sexually assaulted.

Encountering false things when you expect factual information is confusing, a tax on each of us as we scramble to assess, but what happens at scale when nobody can have any certainty that the answers are true? Total collapse. And nobody approaches the problem with a hint of care.

As a journalist & scholar, I’m inspired by @srseikaly.bsky.social’s words on @democracynow.org: “The way forward is not to be passive & obedient. The way forward is to be ethical & to stand for what is just & to stand against this Israeli genocide which—again—is armed & abetted by the United States”
