So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:
News Team, Thank you for the notes and texts. I apologize for not reaching out earlier. I learned on Saturday that Bari Weiss spiked our story, INSIDE CECOT, which was supposed to air tonight. We (Ori and I) asked for a call to discuss her decision. She did not afford us that courtesy/opportunity. Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now-after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one. We requested responses to questions and/or interviews with DHS, the White House, and the State Department. Government silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story. If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient. If the standard for airing a story becomes "the government must agree to be interviewed," then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state. These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless. CBS spiked the Jeffrey Wigand interview due to legal concerns, nearly destroying the credibility of this broadcast. It took years to recover from that "low point." By pulling this story to shield an administration, we are repeating that history, but for political optics rather than legal ones. We have been promoting this story on social media for days. Our viewers are expecting it. When it fails to air without a credible explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of "Gold Standard" reputation for a single week of political quiet. I care too much about this broadcast to watch it be dismantled without a fight. Sharyn

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

Now, more than ever, help build independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake?

TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded

BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.
brandonfriedman.bsky.social Brandon Friedman @brandonfriedman.bsky.social · 27d
The folks at @afghanevac.bsky.social have in hand a new USCIS directive which largely targets Afghan refugees who fled the Taliban in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal in 2021.

In case you needed a reminder that the most loathsome people in the world work for DHS.
USCIS Refugee Memo – Summary of Key Provisions Effective immediately, USCIS is ordering: ● A total freeze on all pending Form I-485 applications filed by refugees admitted from Jan 20, 2021 – Feb 20, 2025 ● A mandatory re-interview of all principal refugees admitted during that period ● A review and potential re-interview of derivative refugees, including spouses, children, and follow-to-join beneficiaries ● A reassessment of whether each refugee met the definition at the time of admission Authority being invoked: ● INA § 101(a)(42) (refugee definition) ● INA § 207 and § 209 (termination and adjustment authority) ● USCIS asserts power to undo past refugee admissions Consequences: ● USCIS may terminate refugee status for principals and all derivatives ● USCIS may deny green cards, even for those who already have them ● There is no appeal of a denied refugee-based I-485; the only option is to contest removal in immigration court ● Refugees placed in removal proceedings may renew their I-485 claim before an immigration judge Additional conditions: ● USCIS has 90 days to create the priority list for who will be re-interviewed ● The freeze on I-485s remains until lifted in a future memo ● Only the USCIS Director or Deputy Director may authorize exceptions ● USCIS is explicitly framing this as correcting “expediency,” “quantity over quality,” and “vulnerabilities” in Biden-era adjudications ● The memo states USCIS will revisit all inadmissibility grounds, including those previously waived ● The memo highlights a review of the persecutor bar ● It asserts a need to ensure refugees “pose no threat to national security or public safety”

I don’t like the “Show Me Literally ANYTHING While I’m Not Wearing My Glasses” game.
It’s always followed by, “See?!”

Explaining sexual harassment to straight men.
Coworker: This 'sexual harassment' shit is ridiculous. What, so now I can't even tell a woman she is pretty without getting in trouble for it? Me: Well, we've worked together for two years and you've never told me I'm pretty. Coworker: That's different, you're a dude, like me. Me: I gotta tell ya, that's disappointing because I think you're really pretty. Coworker: Cut that shit out, bro. You're creeping me out. Me: Soooo me telling you that you're pretty when you neither asked for nor welcomed comments about your appearance is making you feel uncomfortable. Interesting.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.
