The disinfo machine has had horrible effects on our country. Chris Armitage has some ideas about how states can hold the perpetrators accountable. medium.com/@carmitage/a...
So, this is the extent of CNN's "maps" of the scene of the big scary thing at the WHCD last night. They should have recruited any local college or even HS paper newsroom to come up with something better. I guess broadcast aren't the best at this kind of thing. 😆
Does anyone know who this is and what news organization he is with? He is wearing a helmet that says "Press" on the front and the back.
This is the statement from Homeland Security. Just made up out of whole cloth. Not nearly enough time to be making an accurate statement.
Wow! This is a good reminder that we *can* elect an intellectual to the presidency if we will.
Okay, so, here is a "heritage" breed that's actually worth talking about: Rhode Island Reds!
Our reporter is working on the #OKC #NOKINGS Rally report today for @freepressokc.bsky.social . Watch for our coverage later today.
Flew our flag all day today. Note that it is the American Flag without any modifications. We ALL live under this flag.
It’s especially important for people who produce the news in any medium to see this. Remember the flat-footed reports as though any of this was true? Being taken in by cynical politicians is not the same as staying neutral in reporting. Neutrality, yes. Stupid, no.

Considering the recent and long history of world politics, having Current President Joe Biden, President-elect Donald Trump, and living former presidents at the state funeral of Pres Jimmy Carter all sitting together is an extraordinary thing.
In case you want to pick up on some of the events today surrounding Pres Jimmy Carter’s state funeral, PBS is doing a great job by having Carter’s biographer providing commentary. CBS is also providing interesting coverage since so many of the commentators covered Carter’s presidency at the time.
Uh, wow. For those of you who were in any branch, would this get an officer, certainly a general officer, sacked for conduct unbecoming of an officer, or some such thing? How is he supposed to lead people who have lived lives with a much higher standard?
This is just about as typical of the top of our home page as it gets. freepressokc.bsky.social is metro news for Oklahoma City. And, metro news is about the full life of the city, not just silos.
Cory Doctorow does it again. This is the reality. Join something with others to bring about change.
