#juddlegum — Public Fediverse posts

"You’re disgusted by commercial or billionaire ownership, and angry about journalism driven by corporate concerns over public mission."

Count me among the disgusted. And count me very happy to read each of the people and quite a few others who have no foothold in the traditional media world on a daily basis.

"Many of you mentioned writers like Heather Cox Richardson, Paul Krugman, Judd Legum and Marisa Kabas, among many others. You also mentioned podcasts and individual columnists.

Many of you expressed disillusionment, or even rage, at 'Big Journalism,' or mainstream media — or whatever you want to call the big traditional institutions."

Yesterday I reposted #JuddLegum's 10 companies that stayed true to their word after January 6 not to support election deniers. Airbnb made the list. No longer.

Yesterday, I posted #JuddLegum's list of 10 companies that stayed true to their word about not supporting candidates who were election deniers. Airbnb was on the list. Take it off.

The testimony of a cis het girl claiming an illustration of an innocent cis het kiss between 2 fictional animated characters ended up getting the book banned.

@juddlegum #JuddLegum, #journalist, discovered the connection between that bad 'Kuwaiti-testimony-about-babies-in-incubators' acting and the far right.

But wait! There's more...check out the vid.

"The issue of what books are allowed to be carried by school libraries, Florida states, should be settled at the "ballot box." According to the state's filing, public school libraries "are not a forum for free expression."

This excellent, sickening #JuddLegum article is about #authoritarianism in #public #school #libraries, masked as #parentalrights, but it speaks to the same gestalt in the #NYT article re: the exodus of talent in #Florida @ the #college level.

I guess it's true - you are the company you keep.

Not sure why republicans get angry when people refer to them as the 'nazi/white supremacist party' - they prove it ever chance they get.

#CorporateExploitation is a CHOICE.Even though the #Economy is BETTER, political division (propaganda) and the gap between CEO & employee pay is growing. The highest spread (#LiveNation) is 5,414 to 1. #DollarTree is 951 to 1. The average- "CEO pay averaged $15.3 million and median worker pay averaged $31,672." That's a ratio of 603 to 1. Read & share #PopularNation #JuddLegum

Republicans call for cuts in Social Security and Medicare

The largest caucus of House Republicans is the Republican Study Committee (RSC). There are 156 members of the RSC, which is more than 70% of the entire Republican delegation. The 2023 budget proposed by the RSC, called "The Blueprint to Save America," calls for cuts to Social Security and Medicare.
