"As the press becomes more subservient and less independent, the first-hand knowledge needed to even stage a fight to get our mojo back is a whisper in the ether," writes Brian Karem.
That's why veteran journalists who know how abnormal this all is need to be extra vocal.

National Guard members train for civil unrest missions in U.S. cities - The Washington Post
“We have cities that are troubled, we can’t have cities that are troubled,” Trump told assembled service members in Japan on Tuesday. “And we’re sending in our National Guard, and if we need more than the National Guard, we’ll send more than the National Guard, because we’re going to have safe cities.”Trump later told reporters: “The courts wouldn’t get involved. Nobody would get involved. And I could send the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines. I could send anybody I wanted.”

@mosseri@www.threads.net When are you getting 1:1 integration to the Fediverse? It was told to the Fediverse it was coming a long time ago and then blow past the due dates.

The CEO and top executives of the company I work for have been talking about layoffs like mad for the last couple of months. Explicitly ("layoffs"), but also with all the usual dehumanizing corporate jargon: "sacrifice", "pain points", "ultimate goals", etc.
They're also disabled our ability as workers to speak to each other online on a mass basis. When we meet in person we talk quietly among ourselves; we all seem to agree that the situation is unbearable. But nobody dares to stick their heads up. We all know what would happen to the first people to try.
Meanwhile our benefits are going down and the cost to us is soaring. Throw in doubled cost of groceries, housing, utilities, and household goods, and life has become pretty much impossible.
The only solution I see is revolution or at least a general strike. But the public just won't wake up to that.
"(Attorney Mark) Fleming believes many of the missing people have been deported, likely without any opportunity to speak to a lawyer or prove they’re in the country legally."
It's not really - or not just - incompetence. This is how it was supposed to function. The incompetence is just a handy smokescreen.
