So long Only Murders in the Building, alas. Just cancelled my subscription to Hulu to protest the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel. Hulu's owned by cowardly Disney & enough is ... more than enough. A small gesture but small acts add up & grow. Join me?

What if the news media agreed to stop calling these Ivy League deals “settlements” and just said, you know, “Cornell has agreed to pay $100 million in extortion money.”

To bomb Iran the US deployed 7 B2 bombers, each of which cost $2.1B to build. They used 14 huge “bunker busters,” a model that cost $500 million to develop.

The US invested ~ $15 billion in this attack—almost 50% more than it invested in affordable housing construction this year.

#Trump acts as if his #ExeccutiveOrders are unassailable edicts from on high. The news media shouldn't. As I quote legal scholar Alan #Rozenshtein in my latest piece tomdispatch.com/seven-and-a-... they're "just press releases with nicer stationery."

Smart researchers ought to be able to find out people behind #CanaryMission, no? Several years ago, a journalism student I know did a long story on them & I vaguely recall that they got in touch with someone there.

And a leftist there

Find a radical leftist
Old man Donald sounds the alarm

Anyone else notice how many #full-page ads in Sunday's #NYT either attacking #Trump & his lickspittles or responding to his regime's slash & smash policies? In the print edition & counted 6! Definitely not the usual.

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk.

Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️

Scoop: CBS News chief Wendy McMahon and "60 Minutes" boss Bill Owens have, in private conversations, made it clear that they oppose any settlement with Donald Trump.

If a settlement deal is inked with Donald Trump, Shari Redstone will be remembered as the mogul who sold out "60 Minutes.”
