Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

'We Just Got Elon Musk-ed' Bari Weissโ€™s first major move as CBS News chief has staffers on edgeโ€”ordering every journalist to submit a written memo justifying their work, in an apparent Elon Musk-style loyalty test.

White women falling all over themselves to defend Bari Weiss as some sort of fucking girl boss just showing their whole asses by not even bothering check in with her new employees to find out how the first week went. Spoiler alert: not good. www.status.news/p/bari-weiss...

How the U.S. Got the World to View Environmentalists as "Terroristsโ€ Investigating the obstacles to action on climate change.

Two reasons to listen to this @drilledmedia.bsky.social pod ep from @alleenbrown.bsky.social: 1)an inspiring story of an activist who faced intense repression and kept going. 2) a deep dive into how the U.S. counterterrorism apparatus has increased repression globally: drilled.media/podcasts/dri...

This week we released the season finale of our The Real Free Speech Threat season, about the growing global crackdown on climate protest. It's a belter, on the role the U.S. military has played in that trend, from @alleenbrown.bsky.social : drilled.media/podcasts/dri...

Make America Matter Less (MAML? Is this a thing?) Last month I traveled to Phoenix for the Society of Environmental Journalists conference. Although I am an American citizen, I live in Latin America and so I was advised not to bring my phone or lapto...

As expected, @amywestervelt.bsky.social delivers a razor-sharp take on what we might see next in global climate dynamics given history and logic + a recap of our on-stage convo at #SEJ2025 about "reporting in non-democratic countries," lessons we all now must learn:

a few people have said this. JD's journey to Greenland is like an incel on a first date, starts with a few rape jokes to break the ice.

The Network State centers on attaining sovereignty above all: their own government; escape from regulation, taxation and accountability; and unregulated medical experimentation, crypto and AI development. It enables predation of countries in the global south and across the world, a new age of colonization, and the growth of unchecked power and wealth. Many of the developments described here are related to the same funding sources, in particular, Pronomos Capital, a firm funded by Marc Andreessen, Peter Thiel and Balaji Srinivasan, chief evangelist for the Network State. Pronomos is funding a number of Network State sites across the globe. Sam Altman is an investor in one major site, Praxis. Praxis has previously attempted to buy Greenland.

Across a Hundred Muddy Hollers How mutual aid is filling the gaps in the recovery of North Carolina mountain communities after Hurricane Helene.

My latest climate reporting explores how community is the foundation for climate resilience and recovery. Everyone across the political spectrum performed mutual aid in Hurricane-Helene-ravaged western NC. Taking care of your neighbor is part of Appalachian culture. progressive.org/magazine/acr...
