This is just a portion of the incredible @aspendigital.bsky.social team. Evey last one of them - a star. My job is a joy because of them. 😍
Aspen Digital@aspendigital.bsky.social · 10mo agoEarlier this week, we hosted our 10th annual #AspenCyber Summit in Washington, DC. None of it could have happened without the dedication of our fantastic staff. From recruiting speakers to packing gift bags, the Aspen Digital team's contributions made this event a success. Thank you, everyone!
Am as proud of this project as anything I have even been involved with at @aspeninstitute.bsky.social. HUGE thank you to @pivotalventures.bsky.social Please spread the word. We want amazing applicants!
Republicans who voted to eliminate all federal support for NPR, PBS & their member stations may or may not know how much their own constituents stand to lose. Former NPR President & CEO @vivianschiller.bsky.social joins me at 10a ET on why they should be aware of the magnitude of their vote. #Velshi
I talked about the publc radio cuts on MSNBC this morning. Now that the deed is done, it's time to turn the page and reimagine a governance system without federal funding and the bureaucractic Corporation for Public Braodcasting. We can come out of this stronger, and we will.
The Weekend on MS NOW@theweekendmsnow.bsky.social · last yr.“These cuts to public media are going to be hardest hit in rural communities and disproportionately in red states where news deserts are vast” @vivianschiller.bsky.social on the “devastating” impact of cutting federal funds to areas that rely heavily on public broadcasting.
Indeed! A Joan or two would be a lifeline to NPR/public radio and allow the system to develop a new, more resilience govenrance system - without a Corporaton for Public Broadcasting in the way. Always listen to Bill.
Bill Grueskin@bgrueskin.bsky.social · last yr.In 2003, Joan Kroc (widow to the McDonald’s executive) bequeathed to NPR around $230 million. It transformed the network. Which of our many billionaires would like to be remembered the way Joan Kroc is today? Step right up! Don’t be shy! www.washingtonpost.com/style/media/...
So much going on in this text, which was written — we could also say "lived" — by NPR's media reporter. The most important in my view are these words from a former CEO of NPR, Vivian Schiller. "Any evidence-based news organization that reports critically is going to be accused of left-wing bias."
David Folkenflik@davidfolkenflik.bsky.social · last yr.How bipartisan support for public media unraveled in the Trump era -- my analysis for NPR. www.npr.org/2025/07/18/n...
NPR is one of the world’s great news organizations. Accusations of bias are unwarranted and the cuts will harm smaller stations in red and blue states alike. THAT SAID I've long believed journalism + gov't funding is a toxic brew. Let's build a new and healthy model for public radio.
This is astounding — with huge implications for the years ahead:
Rob@robertferry.bsky.social · last yr.Solar + storage is now $104 per MWh in Las Vegas or similar regions for nearly 100% clean firm power. There is no way new nuclear can compete with this. Even new gas plants will struggle and that is assuming access to cheap gas over the life-cycle of the plant, which is kind of a crazy gamble TBH.
At #RSAC this spring, @vivianschiller.bsky.social joined @craignewmark.bsky.social raignewmark.bsky.social, #ZeroDay co-creator Michael Schmidt, and Wondros president Kiersten E. Todt for a session on cyber messages that mobilize. Catch a snippet of Craig's remarks here #Take9 #CyberCivilDefense

The Daily Beast@thedailybeast.bsky.social · last yr.Kristi Noem has been working with the producer of “Duck Dynasty” to pitch a reality TV show—titled “The American”—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to a new report.
Local PBS and NPR stations serve communities across the US. In some areas, they're the only available news source. Now, Trump is trying to defund them, turning an essential public good into a culture war target. Former President and CEO of NPR @vivianschiller.bsky.social joins me at 10a ET. #Velshi
Chris Krebs is America’s next profile in courage. The entire nation should support this honorable and courageous fellow citizen.

This is devestating news. John was a force of nature, a true believer, and a helluva good time. I can't believe he's gone and wish we could have found a way to keep him with us.
Jeff (Hot Type) Jarvis@jeffjarvis.bsky.social · last yr.My heart is broken. We have lost John Thornton, cofounder of Texas Tribune and the American Journalism Project, who brought generosity, energy, wisdom, humor, and openness to his crusade to save journalism and with it democracy. www.theajp.org/news-insight...
The claim that the destruction of essential civilizational institutions is being done in the name of the Jews is itself a form of antisemitism—cultural vandalism carried out in our name. That, my friends, is rank bullshit.

The White House press pool is a "public forum" for First Amendment purposes, and the exclusion of the Associated Press is unconstitutional discrimination on the basis of viewpoint. Here's the brief we filed late yesterday. knightcolumbia.org/content/knig...

Many friends are cautious and saying, "let's see where this goes" - but you are at your most powerful right now. Every day you do not act normalizes impunity and makes you and the people you serve weaker.
Hi all, We’re still here at OPM. We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building. Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.
