Say yet.
Can we please structure sentences about failures like this, so they aren't capitulation?
"Nothing's been done about the crime - yet."
See?
It promotes further action, it doesnt encourage cowardice, its doesnt take power away, feed weakness, it's true.
All the major papers in almost all cities. Vancouver Sun and Province are the top two BC papers, both owned by this American.
Both Alberta's papers, Calgary Herald and Edmonton Journal.
All of the SUN tabloids.
The list, including all the small papers, is astounding.

Bad news in a good country.
CTV News demonstrate how they will cover Trump's coup.
Hey folks at CTV ? This ISNT reporting.
Pretending the mass ceremony of oppression was "an election" is a crime against Koreans, against _your democracy, your country, and a crime against the language.
And if its not your headline, its not your story.
This post is SHAMEFUL.
In the meantime....
Le Monde, the paper of record in France, elects its editorial board.
The invader bought 98% of 🇨🇦 english newspapers to soften us up, make us happy to be made slaves, to make us look forward to ICE in the streets of Toronto and Montreal.
We cant let the editorial choices of the invader run news.
Let's pass a federal law that foreign owned news press must have elected editorial boards. Like world famous Le Monde.
Because invasion
Post on Mastodon FIRST, so quoters and the press look to Mastodon for news from you.
POST on Mastodon FIRST.
Do this with all NDP coms, FIRST on mastodon then an hour LATER on other platforms, rated by vileness.
DO NOT post links to posts on vile, dont post screencaptures from vile, dont use substack.
Fine news account to follow. In a dessert of corrupted news sources. We're in a world problem, read lots of papers from democracies.
Hey Canada?
When Trump comes for your country, he's going to use ICE, and bombs.
Also Canada, one Trumpist American Billionaire bought all, ALLL our big newspapers and all our small papers, for ICE, and Trump.
Billionaires hired racists to bang bang bang on democracy, using whichever bias is most likely to cause anger and fear, and they own the press completely.
For example, to prepare for Trump's invasion of Canada, a US Republican bought 98% of Canada's news papers, big and small, and fired loads of reporters.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postmedia_Network
He owned just this 👇 paper before accepting his task of subverting Canada, buying all the papers.
Helping politicians and everyone use a path off twitter, let's stop calling it anything else, is the best method.
The path off twitter is a process. First have them set up a Mastodon account, to reach a listening audience they might miss.
They dont want to lose twitter listeners.
They know the press looks for announcements on twitter.
Have then "post first" on Mastodon, so the press looks to mastodon first.
Step by step, help out.
Productive assistance.
There is better news coming from better news sites. Let's build them like we're the makers of a new world.
Sure am bored wirh sharing what billionaires are doing to stop us.
Happy New Year.
Here's a great news site's pictures from 2025. Great URL too.

Trump falls to 31%
Tanking.
"The poll, conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, found that just 31% of adults in the U.S. approve of Trump’s handling of the economy. In March, that approval rate was 40%."
Tanking.
Fight back MORE, save those at risk, talk to every neighbour, be kind, take care. Its working.
Another great NPR story.👆
Trump and republicans tried to kill America's only "not corporate owned" stations.

Probably the best bet for a nationwide news source that can be trusted is PBS and NPR. Probably its everyone's duty to strongly support them and ProPublica.
Who knew Uruguay completely ended fossils fuels. 98% renewables, economy restored, employment up, energy costs plummeted, stability of supply, economy growing.

Wow, you guys are really afraid of losing jobs, so afraid, you're ending your country to protect your jobs.
Instead, it is more joyful, more honest, more capable of preserving and restoring a self governing democracy to have the courage and juice of a Jimmy Kimmel.
A Middle finger is sanity and your mother's pride.
Article does not mention Hindu or Muslim at all, discussing payments to women, and the criteria of who gets money, but it does mention that 👉 after billions of rupees paid out, rhe Modi party won an election they weren't expected too.👈
Payment for votes.
Modi has created internal colonialism discriminating against the Muslim population.
I find it ODD the BBC doesnt mention discrimination at all. Not a word. Huh.
And Canada is even lower than the States because 1 American, a far right Republican, bought 98% of English language newspapers. Canada's news system is owned by a US trumper.
Calgary Herald, Edmonton Journal, Vancouver Sun, Province, Ottawa Citizen, National Post, the SUN papers, the small town papers.
It was illegal for news to be foreign owned before Harper. But Liberals went along. Still.
Pro Publica is without doubt the best thing to happen to investigative journalism in America in forty years.
And its strong.
Period.
Its well worth your time to follow, to join and to donate. Pro Publica also works with papers to develop bigger, in depth stories that make, and have, stunning impact.
Changing lives journalism.
Pro Publica is the real deal.
No, you liars. They did not say it didn't happen, they are trying to avoid legal responsibility of their dangerous mind bending hallucination software.
Please NBC stop protecting assholes just because they have money.
AI helped the boy commit suicide, helped hi I'm, encouraged h Ohio m, made suggestions.
Please dont tell America the AI RISK isnt huge, its NOT THE FIRST TIME.
CBC reassurances is rhe problem. Pretence of media is designed to prevent recognition of warnings. Fires, storm, flood.
The area burned in Canada is fearful. Fearfully large, fearfully deep into rhe soil, fearfully frequent.
There are fewer fires now, merely thousands, because they are BIGGER, they join up.
Mere reporting.
The area burned in 30 months is BIGGER THAN POLAND.
An ugly new country, made from reassurances.
Financial Post is an American Paper, owned, like 98% of Canada's english papers, by one activist Republican billionaire ally of trump.
Harper got rid of the law forbidding foreign ownership of news, and no Liberal government has restored it.
Big and small papers, small town papers and advertisers, so they all have the same message.
All of them, from the Owen Sound rag to Edmonton Journal, all the SUNS, Ottawa Citizen to all New Brunswick papers, etc etc.
"Grim"? Its a fascist excuse for state violence, Trump is pushing violence against frogs and naked bike rider protests.
" much less extreme" ?? a buncha women on bikes saying "we dont want your vilence" is not extreme, its AMERICANS.
BEWARE of AP Bullshit.
AP is a collection of papers who play down the coup. Beware, playing down the fascist takeover.
Ive seen " donate to the billionaire run AP" - no, its BILLIONAIRES all rhe way down. Laughable.
In a weird lesson during the US Invasion of Canada, all the 🇨🇦 Newspapers owned by a Republican activist coup building billionaire funder of Trump, are OFFLINE at the same time. Right now.
Are they installing a new computer AI to subvert news on all papers?

Canada's newspapers were bought by a Trump republican. Essentially 98% of Canadian English language papers taken over. They often all print the same stories, have rhe same editorial.
Small papers, big papers, town papers, papers of record.
Subverted, by design.
Let's all stop using the undescriptive distracting phrase 👉 "mainstream press" 👈 it describes nothing, it is a lie, it hides what's going on in puolic information.
"Billionaire Press" is accurate, from ownership and control, to editorial viewpoint. And political affiliation (pro billionaire, oligarchy)
There are some independent news sources of varying strength and length.
Canada's press is WORSE.
A great resource for #journalists. Info about #health, #science, the #environment, #climate, #politics. How to identify #misinformation.

@petergleick The coverage of the #California fires by media in Canada often mention #climatechange. It's stunning how infrequently US #media mention it, yet it's such a vital part of the story.

Saw this circulating, but have not seen any #news reports on it. Yet (maybe not on reporters radar yet). Is this offer legit? McNamara is apparently an ex-Shopify person. If this is accurate, it should become a news item.
@Waitnwallflower
I never had hidden weapons and never felt the need to prove it.
Now, when someone offers me their hand I hawk up a #Newsie style Spike Collins wad of lung cheese and spit it into my palm.
If they don't shake my hand their #COVIDIsOver bullshit is exposed.
Tomorrow will be my one year anniversary of joining #Newsie! 🥳
I figured to celebrate I'd make a little donation to help with instance operations. Thanks @jeff for running this place!
Since joining Mastodon & Newsie I've resumed #newspaper #freelancing & this will be my primary place to post links to that work

This hedge-fund company is buying up US #newspapers, and killing them. They own the Chicago #Tribune, Baltimore Sun, San Jose Mercury News, #DenverPost, San Diego Union-Tribune, various local papers and more. Their days are numbered.
This is a big deal.
Without big news outlets, who covers a wide variety of beats (with #reporters who are specialized in those areas), does investigative reporting, uncover then publicize shady activities, and have a pulse on local shenanigans, and monitor #misinformation?
Smaller, independent papers can't do it -- while they may do a good job, they are generally focused on only 1 or 2 areas.
This article gives a stunning look at what's happening. If you feel the quality of journalism has gone down, things like this is why.
Find ways to support the surviving papers.

@jeff or anyone else. Please help.
As a casual participant on this platform, I'm trying to understand why the results of searches are so different between servers. I think I understand to some degree, but not why they would be so different.
A search for #Congress on journa.host finds profiles of a bunch of members of Congress. The same search on newsie.social does not find any of them. Screenshots attached.
Making plans.
