Grandson and I stayed up to see them the other night. One flew right up to him, lighting up along the way. Grandson was thrilled. Magical time for both of us.

The Roberts decision to give Donald Trump kingly powers was terrible enough. But cloaking it in Washington's Farewell Address was "amazingly cynical" in several ways, explains @emptywheel.bsky.social in this bonus episode for members of the Ball of Thread Patreon.

Yes, I can see the advertisers and rich owners pushing editors that way. That means the only effective way to change the direction of the reporting to be honest is to adversely impact their bottom line. I think that may happen with NYT as more people cancel their subscriptions.

What this article leaves out is that if you hand your unlocked phone to a police officer, they can legally search it. Unless companies develop a method that allows you to show officers insurance cards and driver license without unlocking the rest of your phone, don't.

I also would really like to see legacy US media avoid re-electing Donald Trump for its own good - because it seems like too many of the people behind legacy US media don’t really grasp that they’re near the top of a Trump dictatorship hit list.

True. My question is why did the media walk right into that again, after it happened in 2016? Truthfully, this seems worse than what they did in 2016 because now trump is a convicted felon with a published manifesto as to how he and the republicans are going to completely dismantle democracy.

This is true! Last week, I attended a meeting of local Dems to meet a couple of local candidates, ask them questions about their platforms and discuss next steps to support state and federal elections. For the first time in months, I felt encouraged and energized that we will prevail in November.
