I have no idea why this event exists. IMO, the purpose of journalism is to interrogate power, not schmooze with it
Going to a formal event that celebrates Freedom of the Press where some of the other guests don’t understand the importance of the 1st Amendment?
The Reporters Committee for the Free Press has some great accessories — including the below pocket square!

Almost as if they were agents of a hostile foreign power sent to infiltrate our government for that very purpose
It’s remarkable how quickly the Trump team has sabotaged all the things that actually made the U.S. influential on the global stage.
Free trade economics, strong diplomatic networks and alliances, the soft power of democratic culture and values, the hard power of a competent military …

A US Senator who is afraid to use their voice/ their power/their platform should resign immediately. They have no purpose.

Shocking editorial malpractice by the @nytimes.com here. He does not have this power, and if he did, the purpose wouldn’t be to “catch and combat voter fraud.”

Americans should be alarmed by any attempt to turn public power into a partisan slush fund.
If billions are being steered toward organizations whose purpose is helping one party win elections, that is not governance, it’s the corruption of democracy itself.

The sole purpose of this administration is, through malice and incompetence, lawlessly weaponizing the power of the state against the most vulnerable. Genuinely inconceivable how awful they are

This is so important. They’ve broken the economic models that fund journalism is because they recognize the *purpose* of journalism threatens their bullshit-based valuations, ie, the sources of their wealth and power. Yet actual-existing journalists were instead crucial for creating their myths.
A thing I learned about Meta when I was trying to understand how their statements relate to their actions a few years ago is that *they just tell absolutely indefensible lies* and journalists almost always let them. They believed no one would ever punish them for it in any way that matters.
Most state attorneys general released Meta from Cambridge Analytica-related claims as part of the child safety settlement. New Mexico wasn't part of that deal, and a jury there just found 26 of 29 past claims about Cambridge Analytica, hate speech and misinformation willfully deceptive.

The point is that "Chinese interference" is a theater whose audience is purely domestic. It's purpose is to enable more federal control of elections to ensure that the ruling regime stays in power.
REPORTER: Was there an agreement on election interference during your talk with the Chinese foreign minister?
MARCO RUBIO: We didn't discuss that topic

Oh, Honey! America has functioned for 249 years with every president having co-equal branches of government checking their power. It was set up that way on purpose by the Founding Fathers. You really skipped civics class, didn't you?

The purpose of feminism is not to "fix men". Will feminism help men? Fuck knows, hopefully. But patriarchal politics seek to reduce women to dependents, to hoard politics and economic power in the hands of men and reduce women to property.
The purpose of feminism is to free us from that condition.
