Four essentials for the press right now If we have any hope of preventing a full slide into permanent autocracy, these must happen

"Big Journalism’s leaders need to think hardβ€”and fastβ€”about whether they are just presenting facts or actually getting the nightmarish reality across," writes @sulliview.bsky.social in her invaluable newsletter (with kind words for a recent NYT piece.) margaretsullivan.substack.com/p/four-essen...

Donate : NPR Power independent journalism in your community. Donate to your NPR station.

In all the buy Canada, there are things we Canadians should still support in the US - especially what media there that hasn’t bent a knee. There are more to consider, but here are some I recommend: @npr.org is massively under attack, and they depend heavily on donations www.npr.org/donations/su...

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more.

I'm trying to save them.

You can find the deleted docs at cdcguidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

The most important thing in writing is to finish. A finished thing can be fixed. A finished thing can be published. A finished thing can be made into a movie.

An unfinished thing is just a dream. And dreams fade if you don't hold on tight enough.

So finish the thing.

Journalists. Please. Too many of you are going to call this a tax β€œon Colombia”.

It’s a tax on Americans. All Americans who ever drink coffee. Or buy cut flowers.

A tax. On Americans.

The Great Creator Reset + discount Cybertrucks, soup drops, Douyin goes global, a PNUT memecoin lawsuit, peak "it bag", and Gen Z's midlife crisis

The TikTok ban represents the most significant and widespread deplatforming of creators in American internet history. It far surpasses Vine's closure in 2017 in both scale and impact, and stands to permanently reshape the ideological tilt of the online creator landscape.

Hear me out: What if, instead of infringing on Americans’ rights and taking stuff away from them, Congress gave them even *more rights*?

If that sounds good to you, that’s fundamentally what a national data privacy law β€” governing all companies, not just the Big Bad of the day β€” is all about.

What’s next for Katie Porter? For now, it’s teaching and learning, she says The Irvine Democrat neither says she’ll run for governor in 2026 nor rules out a bid.

Katie Porter is going back to UC Irvine, where she has been on leave for the last six years. (Leave policies in academia are their own interesting universe.) www.ocregister.com/2024/12/12/w...
