Margaret Sullivan at American Crisis:

Jamelle Bouie gets it. The New York Times columnist wrote something a few days ago that stood out to me because it was so directly stated and so horrifyingly correct. It began: “Even if anyone had elected Elon Musk to anything, the past week would still be one of the most serious examples of executive branch malfeasance in American history.” Bouie went on: “Musk has seized hold of critical levers of power and authority within the federal government, apparently enabling him to destroy federal agencies at will, barring congressional action or judicial pushback.” The piece was titled, “There is No Going Back.” Here’s a gift link. Read it in full and weep for what we’re losing, day by day. But Bouie’s sense of alarm, well founded as it is, is strangely rare in Big Journalism these days. Witness, for example, a piece last week by Jason Willick, a regular opinion columnist at the Washington Post, who wrote something titled “Save the panic over Trump’s ‘power grabs.’ It might be needed later.” Calm down, Willick counseled, mocking the idea that a coup is underway, and concludes that, instead of having what he calls a “meltdown,” everyone should just wait and see. Why? Because, he argues, casting Trump and Musk’s early moves as a constitutional crisis “will diminish the force of such warnings if they are needed.” Willick was appropriately blasted in the reader-comments section: “This sycophantic, willfully delusional apologia for the dismantling of the American republic and the shredding of the constitution … is contemptible sophistry of the very worst kind,” said one. Read Willick’s column, if you have the stomach, and judge for yourself; here’s a gift link. Overall, the tone in the major media is much more like Willick than Bouie. For example, the popular Times newsletter, The Morning, offered this tepid headline one day last week: “A Constitutional Crisis?” Then it considered the question from various angles, including only one quote from a lawmaker — Republican senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina who notes that what Trump and Musk are doing “runs afoul of the Constitution in the strictest sense,” but “nobody should bellyache about that.” As Jamelle Bouie put it in the column I mentioned above, no question mark is appropriate here. In fact, calling what’s happening a constitutional crisis “does not even begin to capture the radicalism of what is unfolding in the federal bureaucracy.”

[...] Righteous indignation like that is hard to come by. That’s why I wrote a Guardian column last week about two new-generation Democrats who have become strong voices: Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett of Texas and Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut. I quoted political consultant Sawyer Hackett: “There’s been no better messenger in the first two weeks of Trump 2.0 than Chris Murphy. At a time when too many Democrats are afraid of their shadow, Murphy is showing how to fight back with a compelling populist message that should be a blueprint for the Democrats moving forward.” My Guardian editor asked me to include a paragraph at the end about what’s giving me hope right now. You can read that, and the rest of the column, here.

Margaret Sullivan is spot-on: Our press needs righteous truth-telling during these constitutional crisis times.

Hiring McDaniel – a powerful election denialist who joined then president Donald Trump in pressuring voting officials not to certify the 2020 election – was like putting a standing chyron on the NBC Nightly News: “Lying is rewarded here.”

There's a lot to be said for making people laugh. Did you know that that's all some people have? It isn't much, but it's better than nothing in this cockeyed caravan.

I'm not sure why but I wonder what are your favorite ocs in bully fandom? :3

( @preppiesenjoyer )

Your Margert, I feel like she might be a good antagonist towards Ruth, since I know we get bored of the ,"everyone love everyone" type of Oc interactions. I'm interested in their enemies HC's. I can see that they would be forced to be near each other, since Ruth still is associated with Preps, being in Mock Trial and being Parker's girlfriend/ and ex, along with the fact they have seen her work at Aquaberry, and where it, along with seeing her play piano or violin at "Amour Luve", a fancy restaurant she get's paid a lot from. I can see Margert saying, "She's not one of us, she works there, we shop there, trust me when I say she's just trying to be like us", which if FAR from the truth. Ruth doesn’t wanna be acknowledged as a prep due to her past of seeing what the rich can do to people, she hated it.

@lyalagushkina's Holly, I wonder how her life was in Catholic school. Considering the fact Ruth also went to a private all girls Catholic school. And I wanna know if its true that Catholic creates mean girls, which might explain Holly's nasty personality, which I love dearly. Ruth is pretty and mean herself, which is because of the school she went to. It shaped her up as the vile, so called apathetic woman we know today.

I also liked her "Nacy" girl, but I believe she not really made as an official OC, but I loved her design and she's so cute and UGHH! Plus, the creator is an amazing artist, she knows how to use the personalities of Bully characters and show it out in her drawings, like giving Pinky and sharp nose and making her tall, Betrice slim and awkward, she's is just so amazing.

@aubreylikesmith's main oc Azia, I already have a funny meme in my head for her and Ruth, she already gave me an Ask, so I wanted to ask her more on her character and mine so I don't misinterpret hers. Plus, her design is hella cool, very spunky and rad. I'm suprised Gary bagged that. -.__-. I still am. Anyway's, Azia seems pretty cool, I want to know more of her history and problems.

@sergeantcowboy's crow, his backstory is really sad. But, he make sense to me, he rebels against the school's morals because of his rough life. The creator gives depth into Crow, which I only see sometimes with other people Oc's (No shade U.U). Bro gave us his report card, facts that he forges ID'S for students! Plus his voice claim fits him SO FREAKING GOOOOD! Overall, amazing character, put him in a movie, or show, I'd watch it.

@biohazardtx's Herald and Rebecca, t-totally not because I openly simp for both of them... anyways, Herald, more interested in his problems in health and how he views situation with Mandy. Rebecca's backstory, it's almost similar to Ruth's but it mainly cause I see them as mother and daughter duo. I was also interested in their Antonio, he has a burned scar and he looks so cool, I wanna know everything!

@gojossotoru's Maxime, his character is well written, his backstory makes sense, along with the fact this man maybe, just maybe got ptsd. Just saying. Well thought out, plus, hes fineee. I do like the character Lynette, she has similar thing's with Ruth also.

And in conclusion, my bad for glazing.

Margaret Sullivan at American Crisis:

It takes a lot these days to stand up for one’s principles. The retaliation from Trump World is often swift and brutal. But that’s what the Associated Press is doing right now, and as every day goes by — with more retribution, more threats and more self-protective silence — the more inspiring and unusual it looks. I already had a soft spot in my heart for Julie Pace, the top editor of the global news organization. She grew up in my hometown of Buffalo; and more importantly, she’s always struck me as a news leader with integrity, good judgment and a moral compass — not exactly universal qualities. Now I’m even more impressed as the AP has stuck to its guns under attack from the Trump White House. When Trump unilaterally decided that the Gulf of Mexico would henceforth be known as the Gulf of America, a lot of news organizations and other institutions — including Google and Apple — simply went along. The AP, because it has a vast international audience, declined to do so. In their stories, at least for the first reference, they continue to use Gulf of Mexico, while acknowledging the Trump preference when appropriate. They chose not to update their style book, which many journalists use as a kind of professional Bible, to accommodate the change. They did this not to pick a fight with the president, but for solid reasons having to do with serving their audience.

Retribution from the White House came swiftly. AP reporters and photographers now are denied access to White House briefings and no longer allowed to travel with the president. In some sense, these journalists can no longer do their jobs as well. It would have been easy enough for the AP to buckle — to just start doing Trump’s bidding, and keep their access. Instead, the AP is suing the White House on First Amendment and due process grounds. Other news organizations and Columbia University’s Knight First Amendment Institute are showing support with legal filings.

Happy to see the AP not fold to Donald Trump’s grossly insane “Gulf of America” edict that too many outlets and map makers decided to follow. As a result, the AP got banned from being in the White House briefings and no longer allowed to travel alongside the Press Corps with the “President.”
