Me on the phone with HP: "So let me get this straight -- I've paid for the printer. I've paid for the ink. But I can't print anything, because I haven't paid for the subscription?"
Abdula from HP: "That is correct."
😭😭😭
Hey CUNY-Newmark friends, I'll see you this Saturday for Homecoming 2026! journalism.cuny.edu/events/h…
Reminder for journos (especially my WaPo friends): The deadline for the Knight-Wallace Fellowship is Feb. 1. If you're uncertain about your next career step, want to develop a topic interest, or are just burnt out, apply! It's been very helpful for me

In a year of unrelenting, world-changing news, this story is one of the most critical. An overdue must read:
washingtonpost.com/politics/…
FYI, there’s little confusion among experts about our biggest threat:
“The FBI and DHS assessed [racially motivated violence], primarily those for the superiority of the white race, likely would continue to be the most lethal [domestic violent extremism] threat to the Homeland."
We gotta stop saying "this violence has no place in the US." This violence is a defining aspect of life and politics in the US
I was just at my kid's preschool event, what prob would've been "mommy & me brunch" back in the day -- and I was the ONLY MOM there. A class of 12 kids -- and all dads. Shout out to women of my gen for giving a 🖕🏾to the patriarchy. Millennial Moms out here reclaiming their time!
"It’s a very human, and in a way very beautiful, desire to normalize, to habituate, to find our footing in any situation, and to keep on living ... except it has a way of normalizing things that we really shouldn’t live with." nytimes.com/2025/06/09/opini…

worth remembering that when Trump announced a travel ban in 2017, people literally went to airports to protest. Eight years later, Trump announces a new one and it's not even front page news.
We're the frogs and the water is getting awfully hot.
This piece spends a lot of space talking about the income divide. Meanwhile, its starkest finding is actually this:
"In not one of the counties where Mr. Trump steadily increased his share of the vote did a majority of adults have a college degree."

The Trump admin's actions to erase our past are nothing new. But when we talk about historical efforts to whitewash slavery, we call the actions "racist"/"white supremacist." Why not this time? Were the United Daughters of the Confederacy just "anti-DEI"? washingtonpost.com/investiga…

Philosopher Jason Stanley leaving Yale for Canada “because of the political climate” should set off serious alarm bells.
"Brain drain" is just a sanitized phrase meaning the flight of conscience and intellect from a country where probing at truths becomes a dangerous task.
News coverage of Trump’s Smithsonian order exemplifies the perils of prioritizing objectivity over truth. These stories perpetuate propaganda by leading with Trump's words (what's 'anti-American ideology'?), bury the order's real impact (ex. re-erecting Confederare monuments) and
"DEI" has become a racially disparaging term used to malign successful Black ppl. If journos can't use the word "racist" to describe racist acts of our gov, then we shouldn't use "DEI" to whitewash them. The term shifts the problem from racist actors to the targets of those acts

Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

Oh she ain’t bullshitting
🇲🇽 Mexico’s President Claudia argues that if cartels are terrorists, then those supplying their weapons—over 74% of which come from the U.S.—should be held accountable for aiding terrorism.
In response, Mexico will expand its lawsuit against U.S. gun manufacturers.
She also proposed a constitutional reform to impose the harshest possible punishment on foreigners involved in arms trafficking or any form of interventionism in Mexico, reinforcing national sovereignty against external interference.
