Our media in this country is in critical condition. I hope Ms Attiah and other journalists of integrity rise above and birth a new era of honest, competent journalism that takes these broken legacy outlets down
Some personal news:

My main observation from the last few hours of monitoring US social media is that Democrats are universally denouncing political violence and calling for calm while MAGA are escalating language and openly lusting for retribution against broad categories of people they identity as their enemies.

Denmark has taught empathy in schools since 1993, helping children aged 6–16 develop compassion and social awareness. This early focus on emotional education has reduced bullying and fostered one of the world’s kindest societies.

BREAKING: Police were CAUGHT ON CAMERA destroying their own squad cars to frame protestors — and your government still calls them “heroes.”
Nah. These are operatives running psychological warfare against the public.
This is fascism in plain sight.

So it's not about bringing manufacturing back to the US? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you, it's almost like everything he says is a lie...
President Donald Trump says taxing imports will strengthen domestic manufacturing. Hours before announcing new tariffs, his administration cut support for centers that help US firms do just that.

This is a great thread
Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.
