“Every choice we make has a footprint, and people often misjudge which ones are bigger and smaller,” Danielle Goldwert tells Sentient. “We want people to make informed choices and prioritize the biggest impacts wherever they can.”

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

Opinion | California should tax million-dollar, part-time homes to help first-gen students get to college
First-generation students lack the extra help with exams and college applications that rich kids' families can buy. A new program and tax could change that.

Good morning, friends! 💚 FYI: we’ll be posting more lightly through the New Year to give ourselves a short break. We’ll still pop in when inspired. We hope you find rest and reconnection this season. Back at full speed in January--ready to keep fighting the good fight. ✊💉✨

To be clear, this should be one of the biggest scandals to ever reach the presidency.
DOJ - after illegally scrubbing Trump from the Epstein files - is retroactively removing files they missed that would be embarrassing to the President.
It’s a complete affront to Justice.

I thought Trump was “the ultimate capitalist.” He’s helping farmers by putting them out of business and putting them on welfare? bsky.app/profile/atru...
Brooke Rollins: "The president always said he would take care of the farmers. They have been with him since he came down the escalator. So yes, we are looking at the aid right now. We have always said it is to solve, to mitigate anything under these new trade negotiations. Every day that changes."

Let's also not forget that when Marjorie Taylor Greene entered Congress in 2021, she was worth about $700,000. She leaves five years later, worth around $25,000,000.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.
Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.
Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.
