Always wondered what private equity thought owning newspapers was for when they keep gutting them, but laying off half a dozen editorial boards right before they publish midterm endorsements does hint at a likely motive. goldenstatereport.substack.com/p/california...

California loses another editorial board at the worst possible time

I went from wrapping up endorsement interviews for The Sacramento Bee to being laid off in another round of cuts at hedge fund-owned newspapers.

Maybe it’s me, maybe I’m old fashioned, but the sitting president has all but declared war on states that didn’t vote for him, and I feel like the media should be talking about that every once in a while, right?

The former Pittsburgh Post-Gazette workers who went on strike for 3+ years, only to have the owners sell the paper and fire most of them, have started their own cooperative news org. Important reporting by @maximillianalvarez.bsky.social

Corporate profiteers destroyed journalism. Worker-owned media can save it.

Former Pittsburgh Post-Gazette workers went on strike for over three years and won. Then, the owners sold the paper and most strikers lost their jobs. Now, they’ve launched “a cooperative news organiz...

People who are suddenly deported to countries they haven’t been to for years — or, in some cases, have NEVER been to — are incredibly vulnerable. We are going to be reading stories like this for years. God have mercy on their three little girls.

“If immigration hadn't picked up my brother, my sister-in-law would still be alive, and the children wouldn't be going through this sorrow,” he said. “Unfortunately, immigration — the [U.S.] government — doesn't see that. It makes no difference to them.” www.stlpr.org/law-order/20...

Extremely important investigation - I cannot emphasise enough how every single freaking day we are dealing with the consequences of the success of this lie. Gas is basically treated like it's not a fossil fuel, even among some climate / energy advocates. It is so so so bad

NEW: Big Oil and Gas created the myth that natural gas is "clean" — despite knowing the health and climate harms of methane decades earlier than previously reported. A major CCI investigation exposes how the gas industry deceived the public and policymakers into believing gas is a climate solution.

This week, 350,000 Haitians in the US will lose their legal status in light of the Supreme Court's decision allowing the Trump administration to gut the Temporary Protected Status program. No other state will feel the repercussions more than Florida, where half of the 350,000 in the US now live.

Florida's nursing homes are bracing for life without Haitian TPS workers

The Supreme Court ended its legal status. Their patients will pay the price.

The US is adopting a strategy of attacking water storage and desalination plants designed to render the region uninhabitable. If continued, this strategy will make the Gulf littoral uninhabitable in the coming decades. Yet there is no discussion of these tactics and their repercussion in the US.
