I agree with much of what's in this post but nonetheless it kind of irritates me. It is long past time to stop talking about this in abstract, neutral terms, as though simple truth vs. falsehood is the relevant distinction. That just elides the real problem ...

To frame the problem as, "gosh, people seem to be lying more lately, and this institution we call journalism should try to stop them" just sidesteps the problem. If you try to impose social sanction on lies & liars, you come into direct conflict with the GOP & the conservative movement!
in reply to David Roberts

Journalism has to choose between political neutrality & truth. If it wants to pursue truth, it's not going to be neutral, it's going to end up on the other side from reactionaries, over & over again. That's been the basic problem for decades now & at the very least we should frame it clearly.

The image is a screenshot of a text message on a black background with white and blue text. The message is from Dr. Annie Andrews, addressing Melodie and others, expressing concern for children who are afraid to go to school or the movies due to government inaction. Dr. Andrews mentions Lindsey Graham's financial resources and her fundraising goal of $100,000 to show Graham that her movement should be feared. The message includes a call to action, asking for donations of $5 to reach the goal, and provides a link to a donation page: secure.actblue.com/donate/loc_…. The message concludes with "Until the kids are alright," and Dr. Annie Andrews' name.

regenerate.social/@mk30/114950… mk30@regenerate.social - Croissant breadpudding with raisins and shredded coconut in the solar cooker! 🥳🥳🥳

I kind of can't believe it worked out, but it's really tasty.

I used this recipe: cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/10… . I did 2/3 cup sugar (instead of 1 cup brown sugar) because I had chocolate croissants. I'm glad they included the weights of the croissants, because they suggest 6-8 croissants whereas I only used 2 and it was about the same weight. I also added raisins and shredded dried coconut. With my solar cooker, the recipe made 2 batches.

Yay! Now I can make breadpudding! (One of my favorite desserts) 🥳🥳🥳

Since announcing our plan to launch Liberty Vans
-- equipped with chaplains, lawyers, veterans, and camera crews
-- to follow ICE raids in real time and expose them to the world,

we’ve seen an outpouring of support from ALL 50 STATES.

People are ready to fight back and shine a light on the Trump administration's abuse of our country.

We need to fund the vans,
the crews, the tech, and the training to hold these agents accountable.

And thanks to supporters like you, we’re on our way.
𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗲𝘁.

Will you chip in tonight to help us build the first wave of Liberty Vans?
