Not only is defiance.org going to have free live streaming of The State of the Swamp, Portland frogs will be delivering copies of the Constitution to all Republican members of Congress with a note reminding them they took an oath to the Constitution, not one man. They will be live streamed also at 9:30 am. Check it all out at defiance.news
Please retire the phrase "the media should ... ." They won't. Those interested in preserving democracy need to develop a brand-new kind of free press. Any rich liberals looking for a better way to spend your money?
But how could it be otherwise when our mainstream media depend on advertising for their survival and are owned by larger corporate entities that genuflect to governmental pressure to ensure overall financial wellbeing?
The reason (as you, I'm sure, are well aware) that The Guardian is direct in its indictments of our criminal regime is that the paper is wholly owned and administered by a trust that was set up to ensure its independence from corporate and political pressures.
How, in your opinion, could we apply this model here?
My mother and I visited Washington DC in July of 2024, too. For the same reason. We feared that, if re-elected, T**** would either destroy current monuments, or erect new ones to himself, while dismantling our Democracy. He’s done/doing all of those things. 😑
We were able to secure a guided Capital tour, ahead of our trip, but we sadly weren’t cleared for a White House tour by the time our trip arrived. I will be forever heartbroken 💔 that I did not ever get the see the East Wing, but came so very close. 😪

I used to think that quibbling over headlines missed the mark. But now I'm almost done with the book Post-Truth: How Bullshit Conquered the World and read how one study in 2016 analyzed thousands of bit.ly posts on social media and found that 59% of those links were never clicked, meaning that the person sharing the article had not read it before sharing it based on the headline - https://www.the-independent.com/tech/59-percent-of-links-shared-on-social-media-have-never-actually-been-clicked-study-finds-a7086291.html

Amen to every word of your article, Mark.

Yes, like their insistence that Kash-in will pay all of his travel expenses to Italy. What a crock.
I think the main stream press is complicit in Mr. Trump’s regime. The problem is not that they want to seem nonpartisan.
Thank you, Mr. Jacob.
Yes to everything you said Mark! Wake up corporate media.
One more for the list of neutralized topics: Trump’s unholy alliance with Putin.
Yes, like their insistence that Kash-in will pay all of his travel expenses.
