This looks worthwhile. Trust is certainly needed for #Journalism and elsewhere.

“I feel a moral responsibility to let people know what’s happening.”

This, the most basic requirement for a journalist, has all but disappeared at the legacy outlets that drive our national conversation. #FixMediaNow

Here’s how a Washington Post newsletter describes the #ChristoFascist judge assaulting the reproductive freedom—the FREEDOM— of women in the U.S.

Just a decent old guy in the bosom of friends and family who share his “deeply held Christian beliefs,” fulfilling his “destiny.”

WaPo is normalizing a corrupt fascist imposing his religion on all of us. It’s anti-democracy coverage and unacceptable.

The @nytimes@twitter.com calls a man who participated in a coup attempt against the US government an “affable fixture”. Refers to Taylor Greene as a “rabble-rouser”. Normalizing them.

Hi,

Getting around to an #introduction.

I'm glad to have been provoked to move here from the bird site. #BirdsArentReal after all.

I am on social media mostly because I think we need to find common ground to tackle the big societal problems. Personally, I think we need to start with #Corruption -- but it seems that doesn't have enough of a following to be a common hashtag so my main efforts these days are efforts to #FixMediaNow.

You may be surprised to learn:

Rural gun deaths exceed urban ones.
