Last Notes npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor FIFA was already one of the most corrupt major sports organizations on the planet. Given that, doing Trump's bidding by revoking the US player's red card is not exactly surprising... npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor BlueSky wants you to trust them, but they raised $100 million from a crypto fund almost a YEAR AGO and didn't tell anyone. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor So Grammarly foisted advice from AI-generated impersonations of real people on its users, without bothering to ask the people it's impersonating whether they had any issue with this rancid fakery. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor The tourism and conference businesses are Trump economic victims, and have options. Data points: npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor The Murdoch family's Fox "News" says sorry-not-sorry for its pure deceit in pretending Trump didn't insult the families of dead soldiers. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor The Associated Press is collaborating with a so-called prediction market (Kalshi) that invites corrupt gambling on its platform. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor The U.K. accelerates toward police state status, by requiring the equivalent of a license to read and speak online. Worse, it drastically undermines your personal security. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Bottom line on the DHS "changes": npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor "We are all complicit. If you are an American, you paid your government to murder those little girls..." npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor As oil prices soar due to the US attack on Iran, Iran's response, and the widening conflict -- that is a gift to Saudi Arabia, other Middle East petrostates, Putin, and US oil barons. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Rewriting other people's original reporting and clickbait-wrapping the "new" story is not new. But a scumbag operation called "The Daily News Today" is doing it at AI-juiced scale. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor A reminder that the Trump regime and its supporters are racist to the core. https://www.wired.com/story/a-white-house-staffer-appears-to-run-massive-pro-trump-meme-page/ npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor The Epstein files coverup could be the cause of a new -- and final -- world war. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor A reminder that Molly White (https://mastodon.social/@[email protected] ) is, by far, doing the best job of covering the endlessly corrupt cryptocurrency "industry" -- her latest newsletter post, replete with Epstein Class dot-connecting, should make you furious. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Sigh, the New York Times gives a massive amount of op-ed space to an AI founder who (surprise!) loves-loves-loves the technology.[email protected] npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor So it looks like Larry Ellison's going to be pulling the puppet strings at CNN, not just CBS "News" -- another domino falling in the right-wing extremists' war on honest journalism. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor "A.I. Isn't People" npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Yes, I could use archive.today (and its clones), but its behavior is WAY to sketchy at this point.

Price is almost reasonable, however. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Michigan's Muslim voters were (rightly) pissed at Biden administration's Gaza policy, so many voted for Trump, whose anti-Islam bigotry was well known, and helped give him the state's electoral votes. And now they're shocked, shocked to discover how self-defeating that was. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/21/michigan-arab-communities-ice-fear npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor All corruption, all the time in Trump world. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor America is awash in gambling, and the "prediction markets" industry invites insiders to cheat everyone else, thereby making the situation even worse. Media organizations that make deals with this industry are begging to be shunned by honest journalists. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor As Talking Points Memo's Josh Marshall makes clear, the Roberts Court's tariff ruling may be the right one, but it doesn't even begin to remove the court's stink of corruption. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Germany's leader wants to end anonymity online, demonstrating ignorance of both technology and the manifestly good reasons for anonymity (e.g. person with views govt doesn't like, whistle-blowers, etc.). npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor There is no one I admire more than Cory Doctorow, an extraordinary author, activist, and person. In his 6th anniversary post at his Pluralistic blog, he gives you a sense of the hard work that goes into his work. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Crime-infested Trump regime welcomes criminals -- of the right sort -- to America. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Marisa Kabas is doing some of the best reporting on the Trump regime's abuses of law and people. In this case, she explains the chicanery involved in a massive program to build new concentration camps -- in warehouses. (Big Journalism hasn't noticed, of course.) npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Here's a useful guide to voting on California's proposed wealth tax. The massively corrupt cryptocurrency "industry" and (of course) the state's billionaires absolutely hate the idea. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor This story needs context. Namely: Big Tech owns Ireland's government. If that "sovereign" nation does any serious regulating of Musk's company it will be because other tech companies ordered it to do so. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Federal judges keep ruling that Trump's violent, masked goons are illegally arresting and jailing people, but the regime goes right on doing it. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor So many evil aspects of the Trump regime, but normalizing sexual abuse of minors by rich white men has to be near the top. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Democrats calling for "reform" of ICE and DHS are demonstrating their standard weakness. Disband them and rebuild immigration/security agencies that aren't dens of criminals and grifters. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Gallup polling organization joins the quislings, announcing it'll stop doing presidential approval surveys, not coincidentally just when Trump's negatives are super-high. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor If you have a Ring (Amazon) camera, you are -- or will become -- a tool of the surveillance state. Is that really what you want to be? npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor China's dictators imprison a Hong Kong journalist who dared to challenge the party line. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Trump has so thoroughly brought Big Journalism to heel that NBC makes a transparently hollow denial that it covered up the Olympic audience's booing of JD Vance. The denial is a pathetic but telling lie. It tells us a lot about the network's disintegrating integrity. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Dave Farber, R.I.P. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor The New York Times has done as much as any Big Journalism organization to badmouth San Francisco in recent years. Now it pretends to discover -- by quoting visitors -- that the image isn't the reality. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Trump is -- and always has been -- a vile racist. But journalists do -- and always have done -- keep publishing his denials that he is a racist, in the face of the obvious. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Ethics-wise, Trump and author Michael Wolff look like peas in a pod: npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Chapter and verse of Big Journalism's epic failures in the Trump era -- and what's most disheartening is that our top "news" organizations have made it plain they have zero interest in even admitting, much less repairing, the damage they have caused to our nation. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor ICE/CBP are criminal agencies, staffed by violent criminals, and gleefully dispatched against Americans by a vicious president and his apparatchiks. It's far worse than most of us understand. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Molly White is a peerless observer and explainer of the infinitely corrupt cryptocurrency "industry" and its political schemes. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor @nprofile…e965 As long as it's not on Substack... npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Department of the Unlikely: npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Does anyone know a way to donate (online) to a Democratic candidate without going through Act Blue? I don't trust it anymore. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Please note that the Trump regime continues to flagrantly, illegally withhold the Epstein documents and plainly has no intention of releasing them (at least until the apparatchiks can destroy/doctor the incriminating stuff). npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Trump regime invades Atlanta elections office. This has nothing to do with investigating voter fraud. It is entirely about the regime's expanding campaign to rig this year's elections. https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/28/politics/fulton-county-election-office-fbi-warrant npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Dan Froomkin, one of America's top press critics, dissects what looks like a short-lived internal rebellion by New York Times reporters and editors who -- all too briefly -- told the simple truth about the Trump regime's murder of an American citizen in Minneapolis. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor You'd think that every news report of Trump's dispatch of Tom Homan to Minnesota would prominently remind people that Homan was caught on video taking $50,000 in cash, plainly an intended bribe. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor The New York Times editorial board intones: npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Again the NY TImes cuts the regime's lie machine totally undeserved slack in its coverage of the Alex Pretti murder by Trump's thugs. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor I've never had a litmus test in political donations, not that I've done very many. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor The Trump regime has pure contempt for Congress, as evidenced in its nearly complete stonewalling on the Jeffrey Epstein documents despite a new law requiring their release a month ago. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor So-called "mainstream" (legacy) journalism is so mired in cowardice and irrelevant tradition that even now it refuses to call things what they are. That's why we so desperately need to follow the work of people like Garrett Graff. Example: npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Mozilla is asking for your opinion about what it's doing, and the survey appears to be aimed at getting you used to the idea that "AI" will become an integral focus area. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor We collectively need to help the general public understand this: When you encounter Trump regime justifications for ICE/DHS goons' violence against immigrants and citizens alike, you should presume the regime's apparatchiks are lying. They have less than no credibility. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Most news coverage of the endlessly corrupt cryptocurrency "industry" -- and its endlessly corrupt enablers in finance and politics -- is wretched. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor "Of all the tools that I use to maintain my equilibrium in these dark days, none is so important as remembering the distinction between happiness, optimism and hope." npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor US Big Tech is conspiring with European (and American) fascists to wreck the EU's ability to even modestly regulate this rogue industry, which has unparalleled -- and growing -- power over people's lives. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor As the Trump regime steamrolls everything in sight, congressional Democrats are demonstrating weakness with more enthusiasm every day. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor This suburban Denver cop's bogus accusation -- based on "evidence" from a Flock spy-on-everybody camera -- forced a woman to prove her innocence. The cop didn't care, and wasn't punished in any way. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor @nprofile…rl6x KKK had tacit (and sometimes active) support of politicians and police in many places. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor We need to stop calling techlords like Mark Zuckerberg (and Tim Cook, et al) "cowards" for their nuzzling up to Trump. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Think of ICE's masked thugs -- committing murder in public, with impunity -- as members of a revived KKK. Trump's KKK goons carry federal badges. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Cory Doctorow (@pluralistic) implores non-US governments to understand that they can fight Trump's wave of economic destruction -- and help average Americans in the process -- by repealing insane laws that enforce technology lock-in and reward Big Tech: npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Open source project aims to help you remove Microsoft's super-invasive and altogether shitty "AI" from Windows 11. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Here's the New York Times helping the Trump regime normalize murder -- by federal thugs against anyone they decide to kill -- on America's streets. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor "We are far past the stage of permissiveness with white-supremacist violence inside DHS.

No both-sides bullshit when one party -- the regime and its vile propagandists -- is relentlessly and provably lying. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor One of our most important tasks in saving American democracy is to help the wider public understand this: When the Trump regime's masked immigration thugs injure or kill people, as is becoming more common, government statements about what happened are likely to be lies. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor All corruption in Trump world, exhibit 57,450: npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor "Trump declaring himself a peace president is the arsonist putting on the firefighter's jacket." npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor "Trump the Peacemaker" -- a trenchant view from the Guardian's political cartoonist: npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor A reminder that John Oliver and his equally brilliant staff are doing IMO the best political/economic video commentary, based on superb reporting and presentation. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor One guess who's paying for Trump's tariffs. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Yet another garbage-AI solution to a problem that didn't exist: npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor American news media now routinely -- and lazily -- use the word "conservative" to label the radical right wing, i.e. the Trump regime and its cult, now firmly in control of our government and increasingly our media. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor The criminal element is the federal government. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/oct/10/chicago-ice-raid-arrest npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor I now assume that the avalanche of "journalism" "covering" Amazon "deals" on "Prime Days" is almost entirely a revenue generator for the "news" organizations, via commission links. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor The Trump Action Tracker is brilliant already, keeping track of the regime's bad acts.
