Don’t think I’ll ever be able to forgive everyone who spent a week debating if Israel had attacked a hospital, but is now silent after Israel destroyed the functionality of all 36 of Gaza’s hospitals.

.L.A. Times Guild 🦅 made a 350+ person strike appear out of thin air over the space of 12 hours yesterday, but LAT management responding by deleting my access to Slack and email is really making me rethink things.

The phrase “racially charged” has 15 characters plus a space. The word “racist” has only 6 characters. So why would The Washington Post headline writers choose “racially charged” over “racist”? Other than cowardice, I mean.

For years, I've been sounding the alarm about corporate cheaters that steal our tax dollars through Medicare Advantage. Now, a new report estimates private health insurers will scam taxpayers out of $88 BILLION this year. Congress has looked the other way for far too long.

Remember the woman in Ohio a few weeks ago who faced criminal charges after a miscarriage?

The prosecutor who pursued them is running for reelection unopposed this year.

He's never been challenged since 1984.

And that's just tip of a democracy crisis: boltsmag.org/ohio-prosecuto…

What I appreciate most about this piece is that the writer has read and cites experts on authoritarianism and tells us how what we’re seeing matters within that context. This is far too rare in American media but this context is essential if we are to truly inform.

Annnnnnd management is now locking us out of Slack

One by one L.A. Times Guild 🦅 members were making heartfelt Slack posts about saving the newsroom, calling for LAT management to negotiate in good faith, honor the contract and offer buyouts so that layoffs would be as humane as possible

Her main argument is that kids shouldn't be taught the real American history (like slavery and racism) because it might make them feel bad about our past.

Hey Nikki, I want my kids to know the truth. I believe they can handle it and I believe that other young Americans today…

Student debt cancellation doesn’t “cost” anything to taxpayers (of course, student debtors *are* taxpayers). It doesn’t take cash to cancel student debt—the money already went out the door when the loan was made. Plus, many borrowers already paid back the principal.

This episode is so critical. News execs love to opine about objectivity, but they've fired or blackballed reporters for telling the truth about the Palestinian genocide. An essential journalistic ethic is to determine who's in power & who is oppressed & explain that context.

Mainstream media is still not awake to the political threat it faces right now & how it will get so much worse if trump wins.

When a customer steals from Dollar General, they could get time in prison.

When Dollar General steals up to $100 million from customers and millions in wages from employees, their CEO gets a $10 million bonus.

This is the spike in crime they don’t talk enough about.

This bill was filed because some amazing journalists uncovered a giant voter fraud scheme involving ghost candidates funded by energy monopoly Florida Power & Light to spoil races in their favor. They want to intimidate journalists from taking on the powerful.

Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles, and other members of the American right wing media cheered on a Ugandan law under which HIV clinic workers are now being tortured and imprisoned in that country. Medical officials fear the HIV rate could skyrocket.
