Michelle Obama always keeps it real. That’s why we love her.
This is how a decent and good person speaks about other decent and good people who died from a tragic murder.

Yesterday's No Kings protests were apparently the largest since the first Earth Day in 1970
The NYT covered that story with a six column headline across the top of the paper and two full pages inside
Today, two small pics below the fold and a story on page A23
They constantly let America down

The @nytimes.com editors probably feel they broke that Santos story, and they don't have any ownership of the #NoKings events
So their blinkered attitude is that "their" story must be more important

I looked at 38 papers. The NYT was one of only a few not to have it as the top story and photo
The handful of exceptions were pretty much all places with a big D1 football game
I genuinely don't understand why the NYT is so reticent to give coverage to one of the largest protests in history

My humble request would be that all those U.S. journalists who spent the last week credulously reporting on Trump's "success" in the Middle East simply because he gave a grotesquely premature victory lap unanchored by any actual accomplishment retire permanently from the practice of journalism today

WOW. This entire story is HORRIFIC. This is FOIA of a body cam from the raid in upstate New York the same day as the Hyundai plant. It catches a Border Patrol agent on camera only bragging about denying medical care to migrants detained at the border under Biden — who he says are all "animals."

Musk’s DOGE burned $21 billion in six months. Fourteen billion paid to workers not working. Six billion more in severance. IRS cuts may cost up to $2.4 trillion. USAID slashed, food and meds spoiled. One million dead already. Trump calls it savings. The math calls it a crime.
DOGE Wasted Tens of Billions While Chainsawing the Government in the Name of 'Efficiency': Senate Report | Common Dreams
Elon Musk's DOGE wasted more than $21 billion in just six months. Other studies have found that in the longterm it may cost the government more than it saved, while resulting in millions of deaths.

UPDATE: El Salvador’s brutal far-right dictator, Trump and Musk friend Nayib Bukele, has confirmed that he will never return any person sent to him from America. And Trump has confirmed he wants American citizens sent to El Salvador to die in a foreign gulag. This is a five-alarm fire for democracy.
Yes, Donald Trump is Planning to Send U.S. Residents En Masse to Death Camps in El Salvador Run By Dictator Nayib Bukele
The White House meeting on Monday between Trump and Bukele isn’t quite a Hitler-Stalin summit, but in the context of this century’s politics and America’s descent into fascism, it approaches it.
