Earth is burning up, #democracy is crumbling, #news organizations are in need of a working business model or we risk the collapse of our ability to get information about the world, but @MegWhitman raises a billion for short movies to watch on your phone... #priorities @a16z

Data shows that sex-work criminalization is anti-feminism, creates an unsafe environment for women.

Only those who profit from lack of information, vilify #news and #journalists.

[Phittle @ThePhittle]

Ever wonder why something is happening in your city but no one is talking about it? It might be your fault, for not paying for #news. When there are no #reporters to report #crime/#corrpution/#accidents, problems go unfixed, people die, criminals get away without consequence.

New episode alert!

Who bears the cost when nobody wants to pay? This week, we ask that question as we explore how communities are affected when a newspaper closes. | 🔊Starving the Watchdog https://t.co/eKZkV2RJw6

#journalism & #news is not a commodity, but the only path to #freedom, having access to information is the only way to have freedom. Why first act by #dictators like #Putin, #MBS and #Trump is to attack the press and #Journalists. #Khashogi

The breaking of #news is the breaking of #democracy. When we get the wrong information aka (#Brexit, #Trump, #Islam #China, #Russia) #democracies make the wrong decisions and fault #democracy, not the breaking of news.

#women of #Israel strike to end #domesticviolence after #Ethiopian girl and an #Arab Israeli woman is killed by people they knew. Bringing country to a standstill. #feminism #humanrights

[Phittle @ThePhittle]

#women in #israel #strike, not waiting for the weekend, bringing the country to a standstill, the way violence brings women's life to a standstill, except the strike is temporary.

Would Putin be ordering this if he wasn't confident Trump was in his pocket?

Hillary Clinton was defeated under a fake, sexist email “scandal,” but Ivanka Trump just plays dumb and skates by https://t.co/qRHoqbjmHz

Russian TV at 2300: “Ukrainian ships have turned back.” No mention of Ukrainian navy’s claim that the 3 vessels were shot at & seized by Russian forces off coast of Crimea.

#taxfunded #research should not have to pay to be published and then have #taxpayers pay again to read the work that #taxpayers funded. #science #publishing needs to be regulated, but how? #antitrust?

[Phittle @ThePhittle]

We tried working in this industry and realized, that as long as #scientific #publishing was a #taxfunded #oligopoly, nothing would change. We hope this news helps create change.

The @NRA’s ‘good guy with a gun’ mantra doesn’t apply to Black men.

Emantic Fitzgerald Bradford Jr., #EJBradford, an active duty Army officer & son of a police officer was home for Thanksgiving when he was mistaken for a mall shooter & murdered by Hoover, AL police.

Insurance groups are recommending GoFundMe as official policy - where customers can die if they can’t raise the goal in time - but sure, single payer healthcare is unreasonable.
