Honored that #RacializingObjectivity received the book award from AJHA. I am grateful to my peers.
Very grateful that my labor of love received this award. I am humbled by the outstanding competition. #RacializingObjectivity
Thanks for sharing the announcement and for your note. Congratulations to you.
Honoured that Capturing News, Capturing Democracy: Trump and @voanews.com.web.brid.gy was a finalist for the @aejmc.bsky.social
prestigious Tankard award. @melbunce.bsky.social @martinscott2010.bsky.social and I are delighted. Our hearty congratulations to @gwynmell.bsky.social!
That feels very much like the British actions in the 1770s that ... checks notes ... led to the series of grievances listed in the Declaration of Independence and a legal system based around warrants, habeas corpus, and on and on....
So very sorry. Our dogs do claim a place in our souls.
Our 10 yo dog who is on gabapentin, occasional rimadyl and still having breakthrough pain started monthly injections of librela three months ago. He is zipping around like a puppy. It wasnβt immediate but we noticed a major change after the third one. Itβs about $80 a month where I am.
True.
@lisamurkowski.bsky.social Then do something.
My father was stationed in Fairbanks during WW2 for a reason.
A light in an otherwise dark week.
Bravo.
Denali.
So important.
Context is everything.

The potential implications of this are chilling.
Or someone trying to hide their own stakes in exclusion.
Front page of the nyt
In 2016 the NYT ran multiple front page stories page about the grave national security risk of Hillary Clinton's server.
Today's front page, and nary a mention of the successful "plutocratic coup" (said by a sitting House member) or "constitutional crisis (said by a sitting Senator) unfolding
Seriously.
USAID also assists countries transition to democratic elections (Paraguay, for example). Not surprising that itβs suddenly out of favor.
WIRED has been downright exceptional in covering this carnage.
Agreed. Where are the injunctions?
Waiting for court challenges, tick tock.
Institutional mission statements public and private are next, I fear.
The author posted a correction: Itβs the Japanese-American Memorial to Patriotism during World War II.
But will Grassley act? His record on challenging DT is not inspiring.
Including the two Republican US senators.
Yes, letβs not scroll past what #AP has done. AP style sets norms in #journalism. If DT issues an EO renaming DC βTrumpopolis,β or some such, will AP fold? My book #RacializingObjectivity has a lot to say about the AP, language and political power.
Iβd hope some will opt out. Most likely those that have their own style guides.
Deeply disappointed that #AP has decided very quickly to obey in advance. My book #RacializingObjectivity looks at APβs use of language in calibrating news values and bowing to political power.
