Fox is NOT a journalistic entity, it’s a political operation.A person working for a PAC wouldn’t get congressional press credentials, but Fox does.It’s time to revoke the congressional press credentials for anybody from #Fox. I’m happy Marcy started the conversation. I want to move it forward. I think that de-credentialing should be one result following the resolution of the Dominion case in favor of Dominion. Why Bother To Revoke Fox’s Credentials? Press credentials have VALUE to Fox. It allows them, as a political operation, to masquerade as a news organization. I’m making the case that Fox is like the RNC or a Political Action Committee and not a journalistic entity, therefore they are not entitled to the benefits and protections we offer journalistic entities in America. Having Congressional Press credentials is a sign of legitimacy. Not having them wouldn’t mean they couldn’t still do stories about congress, but NOT having them, and the REASON they don’t have them sends a message to everyone. I’m already hearing all the defeatist responses from the left about trying to do this.

Earlier this week, I was at a meeting to discuss the question whether my university should cut its ties with the fossil industry, or else impose additional conditions on working with partners from fossil industries.

“Any attempt to raise said hand would result in excruciating, unbearable pain,” the note from the Fox News host’s orthopedist said.
Donald Trump is not being targeted for the misdemeanors and serious felonies he appears to have committed but for discrediting and undermining the entrenched power of the ruling duopoly.

“any reasonable method to promote peace” “The first militia church I went to I thought was a fluke,” Jeff Sharlet (The Undertow: Scenes from a Slow Civil War) told MSNBC’s Chris Hayes Tuesday evening. “And then I started to realize that churches were arming up with the expectation of civil war.” “The doomsday prepper of the past has become a mainstay of rightwing culture,” Sharlet found in his research travels. Sharlet writes about Ashli Babbitt, shot and killed by Capitol security as she tried to climb through broken glass into the Speaker’s Lobby on Jan. 6. I did not know law enforcement had found a weapon on her body inside the ambulance. Babbitt’s knife appears on the cover of Sharlet’s new book. It’s one of those details that the MAGA right does not want or need to know. It detracts from the near-virginal image MAGA Republicans have built up around her since the insurrection. “They were aging Ashli back” within days, Sharlet says, making her “smaller, younger, as if whiter.” A young white girl.

That book is banned, comrade MAGA Floridians fear ideas they find mildly threatening. Heads are not rolling yet, but it’s open season on books. At the slightest objection — outrage-addicted MAGAs are drunk on the power of it — Florida is removing books from its schools. A new measure in the Florida legislature would allow any person raising any objection to any book to disappear it as quickly as an East German neighbor turned over to Stasi. Greg Sargent writes that while the bill seems to have support from Republican presidential hopeful Gov. Ron DeSantis, passage could backfire: “If Florida passes this bill, it may be the first state in the country to institute in every public school a rule requiring the immediate removal of materials following an objection,” Jeffrey Sachs, a political scientist who closely tracks these proposals, told me.
In her eleventh book of poetry, Brenda Hillman has given us an expansive lyric—I want to say epic—of our times. The result: gorgeous and subtle, and the work of a poet at the height of her powers. In a Few Minutes Before Later is part of a sequence of books by the poet that take as their subject the nature of time, and our lives in its hold. Her last book, Extra Hidden Life, Among the Days took the day as its preoccupation, and this one measures our existence in minutes, which is to say it’s concerned with a certain kind of moment, a certain urgency, a certain fleeting eternity. Some of that urgency comes born of an awareness that one kind of ending—death—is closer than ever. Some of that urgency is the urgency of a sick world: a number of lines in the book are occasioned, it seems, by having to pack—having to think about packing—a few essential papers before running out of the house because of wildfires. Some of the urgency, then, is a tuning of the breath, of breathing in the stress and hellscape of a beautiful but troubled planet.
