Millions march against the fascism the #BrokenTimes is blind to. It now refuses to count their numbers and it muffles their voices in small, BTW headlines. This is not journalism.

Got flak for saying on CNN last Friday that Trump deserves no credit for resolving the Gaza war because he... didn't resolve the Gaza war. Sure enough:
Israel accuses Hamas of breaching ceasefire, reportedly attacks Gaza
An Israeli military official accused Hamas of a "bold violation of the ceasefire," while a senior Hamas official accused Israel of violating the agreement.

Historians of the future: Rest assured, millions of us know all this in real time. We are horrified, shocked, enraged, and ashamed. We are acting, in a thousand ways, to oppose it. This cannot, and will not, be how the United States ends. trib.al/0islLh9

Any American medium that fails to cover the largest protests in American history is failing in the basic mission of informing the public about the facts.

BREAKING: Our crowd count estimate from the No Kings coalition responsible for planning today’s event is 7 MILLION nationwide.
7 MILLION of you gathered across the country to peacefully protest today.
2 million more than the first No Kings action in June.

It's official. Nearly 7 million people. Today is the single largest day of protest in American history. Americans from all corners of the country are standing up and saying #NoKings. This is what peaceful, patriotic protest looks like.

If you're going to write headlines like this, why even have newspapers?
Should the New York Times be sold to Pennysaver and its editors sent to work in Amazon warehouses? It depends on who you ask.

Just adding FYI: the Jan 6 pipe bombs are odd only if people insist they were lone wolf and random. They were not. They were meant to pull police away from the planned attack on the Capitol. Multiple people knew they were there, and the same people also monitored other aspects of the Capitol attack.

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast.
But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.

It appears that my employer, Dartmouth, one of the Trump 9, has said no to the compact. All the better given that our president is cited within it. But she’s saying no. Count the small victories when they come.

Murphy continues to be a really clear voice
We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes.
That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.

Sen. Cassidy warns against ending the birth dose of hepatitis B: “Before 1991, as many as 20,000 babies were infected with hepatitis B in the U.S., and that changed when the hepatitis B vaccine was approved for newborns…Now, fewer than 20 babies per year get hepatitis B from their mother.”

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

NEW: In March, the Trump administration announced a massive purge of workers at the nation's health agencies.
We asked them how many workers were laid off, pushed out or left.
They refused to give us numbers.
So we conducted our own analysis... 🧵

Police have set up a checkpoint and appear to be stopping every single car on 14th st NW, between W+V, here in northwest DC. Some cars are being pulled over after being stopped.
