I’m still 😱 about the WH ignoring Juneteenth. Growing up in Texas 50 years ago, Juneteenth was always a really big deal. It is neither recent nor “woke”; it is a 135-years old celebration of emancipation - so far as I know, the only one the US has. The message couldn’t be clearer.

Do you recall when local newspapers carried stories about serious auto wrecks you might see on the streets? Ever wonder why you don’t anymore? Pressure from auto advertisers was a big part of it. Granted, not much if the industry left now, but it was never liberal.

@lizdye.bsky.social knows how to handle a phrase. Love it when she just calls an asshole an asshole; see, e.g., her 5/30 ATL blog. Journalistic professionalism is killing me with moderation while I want to scream, “WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!” Liz Dye screams with me.

I hate to be so stupid, but - What is the goal of DT’s chaos? Is he profiting from his control of the markets? Is it for nothing but the power itself? I can neither detect nor imagine a coherent political goal in any of this. Clearly no interest in government having less power. So what is the goal?

Wearable neurotech devices are becoming more prevalent; is the law behind the curve?

2/2 Therefore, query: What is the correct response from the press when the government purports to dictate terminology and eliminate press access to those who refuse to comply?
(I don’t know the answer, it’s a genuine question to journalists, a group to which I once proudly belonged.)
