“For news organizations, the issue isn’t responsibility, but survival. Autocratic leaders don’t want evidence-based journalism of any kind to exist at all: They want to shape reality, to decide themselves what is true and false.” — @anneapplebaum.bsky.social

LISTEN TO THE WHOLE FUCKING THREE MINUTES. ITS PARKS SINGING WITH CHARMAINE NEVILLE AT SNUG HARBOR JAZZ CLUB IN NEW ORLEANS.
This kid made me a better person and I couldn’t ever think of anything better than being his mom. Other than being horribly rich with a chihuahua addiction. Happy 16th FRUIT OF MY LOINS!
Gonna be one today too!!
Anyone want to play a game?
You should come! I’d love to see you.
I kinda feel the same. Giving Parks a little pre-training and demanding he leave if shit gets weird.
Oh good! Y’all can meet finally. I’m going for a bit Patrick. I just want grown ups I can send my kid too if there’s bullshit. 😭
Who of my Mississippi people are going to the “No Kings” thing Saturday?? Parks wants to go so I want to have back up grown ups.
This kid is going to be 16 in a week!
I’m making pork chops for dinner.
tired of yankees pretending to know something about southern gothic. like what do YOU know about the withering and diluvian atmosphere of the south that sanctions violence as a system. what do YOU know about the southern aristocracy that constantly reinvents itself from generation to generation
Having kids while swinging from Ob*ma’s 8yrs 2 Trmp, then COVID, then Biden & now Trmp again has really showed the kid heading to college, just how much this country despises it’s children. There is no collective goal or hope for them other than to fall in line, stfu & do what they’re told.
Republicans in Utah commissioned an investigation into gender-affirming care for trans youth after banning it in 2023.
They're now rejecting the findings of that investigation which showed access to care reduced suicides and improved "positive mental health and psychosocial functioning outcomes."
To play “gotcha” games with victims of government cruelty to feed some perverse appetite for political schadenfreude would be depraved.
"FAFO” may be a popular way for some on social media to answer the suffering of political opposites, but it’s poison to the journalist’s soul.
My editor's note:
President Donald Trump has approved disaster assistance to Mississippi counties affected by tornadoes that struck that state in mid-March.
I've been writing a newsletter mostly about DOGE for the last few months. This my last one, in no small part because at this point DOGE is indistinguishable from the broader Trumpian project. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...
I’m trying to get some clothes/shoes/underwear together for a kid. If anybody wants to throw some money at me please DM. Because I’m poor right now but he doesn’t really have anybody.
