Yours Truly, at a small May Day march downtown today. Only about 200 people showed up for this one, and most of them also participated in the #protestmarch in the state capitol (Raleigh, North Carolina, US) yesterday. They said "thousands" of people attended that one. Despite that, I guess #mainstreammedia isn't covering these #MayDay #protests, as they have centered around pushback against #corporate #fascism.

"Trump at some level knows he’s failing politically, cognitively and physically and wants to take it all down with him, the way that ancient rulers were buried with their slaughtered horses and servants. He’s also, as mortality breathes down his neck, trying to grab some immortality by sticking his name on buildings and park passes and currency."

"It’s also evident that Trump wanted to come back into office in part to revenge himself on a country that in 2020 had rejected him, the way an ex-partner sometimes becomes a murderous stalker of the woman who dared to escape him, and specifically revenge himself on the individuals and institutions that had prosecuted him for crimes or otherwise thwarted him."

"A whole sector of mainstream media now functions as spirit mediums attempting to interpret Trump’s actions to try to fit them into the context of competent leadership and coherent and consistent agendas. If there was a coherent agenda, it would be a destructive one, a malevolent one."

~ Rebecca Solnit

1/2 Foreign and #Domestic #Emergencies Dept : Currently any definition for “operational success” in #Iran seems to have involved words like “decapitation” ,”epic”, and “obliteration”. None of those seem to apply to what has actually taken place,though the word obliteration might soon be applicable in the case of American consumers and taxpayers.
Operational successes in terms of damaging oil and gas facilities are in direct contradiction to the stated goal of opening the #SOH. #MainstreamMedia -

@aaron.rupar It’s not just the #MainstreamMedia that are #cowards. Almost half of the voters in the #UnitedStates elected COWARDS to *represent them* in #Congress and state legislators.

‘Conservative’ #BabyBoomers have *completely* trashed the #UnitedStates global reputation for courage that the #GreatestGeneration sacrificed so much to earn.

Every #MAGA cult member must be remembered as such. Put a label on them if you have a family tree, and pass it on to future generations!

"Donald Trump is batshit. He, along with several of his advisors, are under the delirious belief he is all powerful and can effect his will simply by issuing a tweet.

Until that becomes the story, Trump will dodge accountability for the most reckless decision in recent history."

"Because the political press continues to struggle to cover Donald Trump and his tenuous relationship with the truth, they are failing to hold him accountable for just how incompetent his execution of a war of choice has been. ...

Virtually all political journalists happily serve as data mules for his carefully packaged tweets."

The Media Refuses to Call Trump’s #Venezuela Attack an Act of War
By framing this brazen act of aggression in euphemistic terms, the media is falling in line with #Trump.

...none of these acts of brazen aggression, violence, and violations of international law have, in any sustained or meaningful way, been referred to as acts of war, a coup, or invasion in #US #MainstreamMedia reporting.

This episode seems to indicate that the president can do almost anything in the context of foreign policy, and the #media will still overwhelmingly adopt language that is flattering and sanitizing to the administration when describing what has unfolded. This dynamic reached a new low Saturday morning, when the US media rushed to frame the administration’s unprovoked attack as, at worst, a “ratcheted up” (CBS News) “pressure campaign” (WSJ) and some type of limited narcotics police “operation” (CNN).

Something I cannot emphasize enough if you want to better understand what's happening in the world and the geopolitics driving it is to read from multiple different sources, and always be trying to increase your base of sources. And there's nothing wrong with looking at easy to access sources, at more mainstream sources, as long as you don't stop there. Expand your perspective by understanding the diversity of perspectives out there. Go beyond 'I listen to X voices' by just passively accepting the few voices in that group who get amplified by social media influencers or featured by mainstream media (and who may in fact often be the worst voices to be listening to when it comes to advocacy for that group), and go looking for the voices that don't. 

Use social media as one jumping off point to expand your exposure to different news sources and to smaller voices who will likely never get into the news, much less the mainstream media. The social media landscape poses many challenges for distinguishing true and false information, but this can also be said of traditional news, especially mainstream media. There is no substitute for critical thinking. The strength of social media, though, is in the much wider and more varied spectrum of perspectives that you will find on it. Take advantage of that. It can be invaluable resource if you take the time to seek out and sift through those perspectives. 

There will never be any source you where you can simply uncritically accept everything it says. You have to learn about the source itself, try to understand both its strengths and its failings. But at the end of the day, it's not a question of whether the information is out there. It is. It's a question of whether you will take the time and effort to seek it out.

@CultureDesk @THR indeed this is a big move.
It will make #genAI-produced things even more #mainstreammedia . I am sure this will contribute to more undesirable #uniformity...

...sogenannten #MainstreamMedia sogar in einer #Existenzkrise sind.

In den #USA können wir fast in Echtzeit beobachten, wie man Medien im 21. Jahrhundert durch beginnende Zersetzung der Gewaltenteilung, der #Säuberung der #Justiz und #Bundesbehörden von "Systemgegnern" (->#Project2025) die #GleichschaltungDerPresse effektiv umsetzt.
Insofern ist es ganz definitiv eine #Medienkrise.

If you are a #weirdo like me, and enjoy reading #legal documents, particularly when written by judges or lawyers who have a real flair for writing, and if you are #weirder and like following the legal and #constitutional aspects of the USA's descent into #fascism even though you are not #USAnian and do not live in the USA, then the ruling written by Justice William G. Young in the case about the administration violating the free speech rights of noncitizens legally in the #USA is an absolute corker.

The entire thing is good, but at 161 pages, it's a bit of a slog, particularly because it has to document the entire timeline of the case.

Instead, start reading at page 149.

Why? The last dozen pages are explicitly laying out the legal and constitutional problems with Donald #Trump himself. This text is something that should have been published months ago in the New York Times or The Atlantic or some other serious #journalism outlet. That it takes a judge to write it is the ultimate indictment of the USA's mainstream #media.

Elsewhere, he also calls out Congress and the fourth estate for their failures to rein in the aspiring dictator, though he has to tread carefully while doing it.
