if you unsubscribe from a bigger newspaper because you disagree with their owner's decisions please use the money you're now saving to subscribe to a different outlet! maybe a local one! total divestment from the news is not the answer nor will it hurt billionaires!

Stephen Miller is the opening act for Trump today in Colorado, so I did a quick comparison to see how his Goebbels impression is going.

The @nytimes is truly failing the nation with this coverage. The press’ lesson from 2016 was to focus on “the stakes, not the odds.” Yet, a day after Donald Trump sounded like strongman Maduro, we get a horserace poll—the epitome of “the odds.”

STAGED Assassination attempt question #192: After the incident, there was an on-site BBC interview with a man outside the rally, who said that he flagged down security after witnessing Crooks getting into position to fire, only to have his warnings ignored. "There's only a few buildings around here," the man says to BBC in the clip. "Why is Secret Service not on every building?"
There is also this quote: "Rumors are circulating that the Trump assassination attempt was an inside job after the release of this angle of the scene (below). Pay attention to what the secret service agent does seconds before," writes Matt Wallace, along with a clip that appears to show Trump's security detail hustling up to the stage and then pausing, seconds before shots were fired. WHY such indifference with regards to security and WHY such BIZARRE behavior by the SS Agents?

There is more to say, but for now let me tell you how proud I am of our @columbiajourn students, whom I've watched report non-stop for days, sleep on floors, support one another & give their all to bearing witness under dire conditions: pulitzer.org/news/statement-… @PulitzerPrizes

Finklestein makes crucial points here. 1) These protests are inspiring. 2) Progressives must champion free speech, even for those whose views we hate. 3) "Palestinians will be free from the river to the sea" is a far better slogan than "Palestine will be free.." nitter.gq/lhfang/status/17835746…
Norm Finkelstein addresses Columbia students. Doesn't give a barn-burning speech. Instead, soberly lectures on the need for messages to resonate, now is the time to persuade 80% of Americans, and criticizes activists for extremist ambiguous slogans.

George Latimer admits in an interview he can’t win if more Black voters are drawn into the district, and then admits he has spoken to the chair of the redistricting commission, who is also his deputy, about district lines. This is a massive conflict of interest.
