the @onthemedia.bsky.social interview with @lilymasonphd.bsky.social was superb. I agree with @micahloewinger.bsky.social , don't miss it. And as an elder Gen-Xer, I feel a special responsibility to read

Fantastic, must-listen episode of @onthemedia.bsky.social
While OtM is one of my favorite shows/pods, this one struck me as exceptionally good. Have a listen.
“Because political polarization is a symptom, and not the root of the problem that ails us, ‘fixing’ polarization will not restore American democratic health.”
– @lilymasonphd.bsky.social explains why being more civil to one another won't solve our political crisis: lnk.to/onthemedia/b...
The interview was on On the Media, which is always great.
Remigration started as a far-right, fringe idea that nonwhite people should be systematically deported from the United States. Then Trump was reelected.
@letsgomathias.bsky.social takes us inside the anti-immigrant ideas informing the White House’s policies. lnk.to/onthemedia/b...
This is such a crucial point that much of the media continues to miss.
Earlier this year, ICE swarmed Minnesota and dominated headlines. Jose Olivares from @us.theguardian.com explains how ICE is pursuing a quieter campaign but is making more arrests than ever.: lnk.to/onthemedia/b...
I had a great time speaking with the very wise @lilymasonphd.bsky.social about how the growing focus on political polarization is missing the greater threats. Don’t miss this one! Produced by @eloise-b.bsky.social
BREAKING NYT: The Trump Justice Department is investigating whether the major television networks — ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and Fox — violated federal antitrust laws when the group briefly suspended their pooled coverage of Trump, according to six people with knowledge of the department's action.
Polarization is the distraction, not the problem. I mean, it's a problem but not THE problem ...
Just Ted Cruz recirculating racist far right propaganda from a French white nationalist and disseminator of the great replacement bullshit theory.
Another must listen from @onthemedia.bsky.social, explicitly laying out the case for why opposing the violence and bigotry of Bo French and maga is that they are fundamentally antidemocratic.
Once the state starts repossessing rights—like AHEM, reproductive and bodily autonomy—it's not a democracy
“The problem is not that the parties are divided. The problem is the existential threat that a reempowered ethnonationalist strain poses to pluralistic U.S. democracy writ large.”

1) Another banger of an episode from On The Media this week. The #podcast is part of my weekly must listen diet and should be for everyone
#NewsMedia #Politics #USPolitics @micahloewinger.bsky.social @onthemedia.bsky.social @brookegladstone.bsky.social
Do yourself a favor and listen to this episode. And can we please stop pretending that the likes of rufo, hanania, yarvin and their dipshit cohort should be allowed to have a quiet meal in public ever again? They are not decent people.
Each of the three segments is a banger. Excellent insights on our moment. Must listen.
After ICE’s deadly surge in Minneapolis, Trump’s new DHS secretary said: “My goal in six months is that we’re not in the lead story every single day.”
Jose Olivares from @us.theguardian.com takes us inside ICE’s more secretive new strategy. lnk.to/onthemedia/b...
This discussion between my colleague @letsgomathias.bsky.social & @onthemedia.bsky.social is really worth the Saturday morning listen ☕️
Very grateful to go on @onthemedia.bsky.social to discuss Chris Rufo, his “Indian Question,” and why Rufo deserves more of the media’s scorn and disdain, and less polite sit-down interviews on New York Times podcasts www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm...
As usual, everyone should be listening to OTM. I was especially struck by the ideas in the third segment about human progress and why some people try to thwart it.
