“You’re Fucking Welcome.” Nicole Avant’s 92-year-old father on the would-be title of his memoir, after watching an MSNBC host state “zero progress” had been made for black Americans. He added, “That woman is in that newsroom because my generation made sure that she got into…

We've passed the Rubicon with chants of "death to America" on American soil.
6 years ago, I resigned from @BusinessInsider for similar reasons. @bariweiss helped me craft my letter. @TheFP is a lot older than its formal incorporation date. It’s been nurturing and developing and saving journalism for some time now.
My resignation letter to NPR CEO @krmaher
NPR suspended senior business editor @uberliner after he wrote an essay for @TheFP titled, "I’ve Been at NPR for 25 Years. Here’s How We Lost America’s Trust." He's suspended for five days without pay, per NPR's @davidfolkenflik. Read what started it thefp.com/p/npr-editor-h…
This is unbelievably fucked up. Suspended for airing concerns many of us share about NPR, an institution many of us loved and depended on?
Senior @NPR editor @uberliner has been suspended from the public radio network he's served for 25 years after sharing concerns about bias in The Free Press: thefp.pub/4aJXNk4
I love hearing @DrMichaelOren's perspective as a historian and someone who knows policy. Great conversation on @TheFP's @thehonestlypod. thefp.com/p/iran-attacke…
@TheFP @NPR @uberliner You'd think--or at least hope--that Uri's thoughtful critique of NPR would result in some soul searching. Instead, it's been all defensiveness, denial -- and now this, suspending the messenger who dares tell the truth.
On the calls to defund @NPR, @uberliner specifically said that would be wrong, that many local public radio stations depend on federal funding & are the only sources of local news in their communities. He said this was a non-partisan matter. cnn.com/2024/04/11/med…
“For Tucker, America is not exceptional; it is no better than its enemies. And this is particularly corrosive, because he is persuading a large segment of the American right to abandon its rightful contempt for foreign tyrants, terrorists, and cranks.” ~ @EliLake in @TheFP

If you read one thing about last night’s unprecedented Iranian attack on Israel, let it be this characteristically smart piece by @MattiFriedman in @TheFP.
Like a flash going off in a dark room, Iran’s attack on Israel has finally given the world something valuable: a glimpse into Tehran’s true intentions. Essential @MattiFriedman in @TheFP on last night's onslaught and the real war in the Middle East. thefp.com/p/matti-friedm…
I was embedded with “anti-war” activists yesterday for @TheFP when they started chanting “death to Israel” and “death to America” in Farsi. Many were beaming and clapping as they shouted beneath their N95s.

I normally stay out of political commentary, but it's true, Eric Hoffer's book The True Believer is evergreen.
In 1951, a short book by an unschooled dockworker predicted the forces that would give rise to radical politics on the left, populism on the right—and a president like Donald Trump. @robkhenderson on the prescience of Eric Hoffer for the Prophets series: thefp.pub/43WWLyU
