The conditions that have led to what’s happening in the US today exist in democracies around the world. They are an inevitable outcome of our collective failure to adapt to fundamental changes in the information ecosystem on which our democracies were originally built.

I still think the best idea for progressive donors is to just revive every alt-weekly in the country and staff them with 10 reporters each.

"I’m just as galled as I imagine many of you are to see mainstream news outlets rediscover their awesome power to set the national agenda, only to subject us to a rehash of the biggest story of 2024—Joe Biden is very old—in order to help their colleagues sell books."

Generally speaking the goal shouldn’t be for elected representatives to be ideological free agents, but to have real, sincere views on issues and the news and things that happened in the past. That’ll serve them way better when they inevitably face questions in uncontrolled environments.

Completely agree about how @wired has distinguished itself, for a long time but especially this past year. Can't help but contrast what they have dug into with what was celebrated, eg, at WHCA dinner a week ago. Subscribe!

Something I have found @wired.com that makes them stick out--& this is similar to @talkingpointsmemo.com--is they don't give in to herd mentality on what is interesting. Many others just base what they're covering on what's been trending on social media. @wired.com covers stories outside the bubble

This is *exactly* step one of the same strategy Russia and Hungary used to criminalize dissent. After that, they began to label nonprofit and political organizations as foreign agents, then started to restrict and ban on that basis.

Polish Nobel Peace Prize winner Lech Wałęsa and 38 other former political prisoners of Poland's communist regime have condemned Donald Trump's treatment of Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday, which they said reminded them of communist interrogation techniques

"Those are real facts on the ground"?! This is pure Russian propaganda. No-one had talked seriously about Ukraine joining NATO - & even if they had, that would not have given Russia justification to invade. Disgusting.

Witkoff: "The war didn't need to happen. It was provoked. It doesn't necessarily mean it was provoked by the Russians. There were all kinds of conversations back then about Ukraine joining NATO. That didn't need to happen. It basically became a threat to the Russians."
