3 months ago Google search started to prioritize AI summaries over links, and the impact on journalism could not be more devastating. Truthout's overall readership from Google is down 54% against last year. We lost a huge chunk of our audience overnight that we painstakingly built over decades.

We’re Already Living Through Journalism’s Dystopian Future

AI is devouring our industry and undermining access to factual information. We all have a duty to fight back.

Outkast’s Ms Jackson just came on at the gym and I will never in my life be able to hear that song without thinking about this comic

The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected President Trump’s executive order that limited birthright citizenship. The decision stopped a more than decade-long effort by the president to use the issue as a political tool. nyti.ms/4eDhsXJ

Things We Lost to the Water — Multnomah County Library

Things We Lost to the Water — Nguyen, Eric, 1988- — "When Huong arrives in New Orleans with her two young sons, she is jobless, homeless, and worried about her husband, Cong, who remains in Vietnam. As she and her boys begin to settle into life in America, she continues to send letters and tapes back to Cong, hopeful that they will be reunited and her children will grow up with a father. Over time, Huong realizes she will never see Cong again. While she copes with this loss, her sons, Tuan and Binh, grow up in their absent father's shadow, haunted by a man and a country trapped in their memory and imagination. As they push forward, the three adapt to life in America in different ways: Huong takes up with a Vietnamese car salesman who is also new in town; Tuan tries to connect with his heritage by joining a local Vietnamese gang; and Binh, now going by Ben, embraces his burgeoning sexuality. Their search for identity--as individuals and as a family--tears them apart, until disaster strikes and they must find a new way to come together and honor the ties that bind them"--
