This isn’t frightening, this is ridicilous. Get a grip people, if you want to talk about things elsewhere, you need to, like, get your head out of the US and think for a microsecond. https://twitter.com/krassenstein/status/950581647891513345 …

American journalists continue to be freer than pretty much anywhere else in the world. Whether they can find the financing; whether editors focus on important, investigative stories; whether good press can break through the propaganda? Those are the issues, not press freedom.

Sorry, as someone who is connected to elsewhere in the world, it is frustrating to watch Americans equate some existing but relatively minor pressure—as things go!—with catastrophic situations is frustrating, and also I observe it to be profoundly disempowering!

I observed many examples over the years... I think I’ll write it up longer. There are things that REALLY need to be fixed in the US—but also many powerful tools for democracy and protecting human rights. Being convinced you have no tools is more effective than all the oppression.

Switched to computer and was like, ah, what. (My phone doesn't correct typos because I type in multiple languages so turned off, heh)Show this thread -
I attended
@PaperhandPuppet show in Chapel Hill, as I do every year. (They are a national treasure!) They had picked Shelley / rise like lions after slumber / as their theme. They are onto something.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/901943841003110401 …

Anyway, end late night (for me!) rant. I may have ranted on this one, but I don't mean to single them out. I've been observing this in many spheres. Americans probably need to shake that dew that had fallen on them in sleep more than anything else. The tools are there. /rant

I'm not saying it is completely unimportant but putting a meh cease-and-desist letter even in the same *page* as Putin or Sisi is .. ridiculous. (spelled correctly unlike first tweet in thread! Sorry!) Exaggeration is a form of learned-powerlessness. https://twitter.com/georgelenzer/status/950693854633775104 …
