Don’t share footage of mass shootings. It just spawns more copycats.
Or audio. Esp for clicks. Don’t think you are doing it for the public good.
motherjones.com/politics/2016/…
Stop showing the shooters pics or footage motherjones.com/politics/2015/…
motherjones.com/politics/2017/…
motherjones.com/politics/2015/…
A thing you can do to express your outrage at mass shootings is supporting @MomsDemand and #gunsense candidates, supporting journalism outlets that report on the deeper causes behind the crisis. And vote.
Reminder: Rick Scott has been a reliable friend to the NRA. So has Marco Rubio.

1/ After joining in the pile-on for @AP_Politics bad tweet, I want to back up and explain what @AP is, how vital it is to world-wide journalism, the strains that it is under and how they are representative of the greater journo crisis. If I mess any point up, please lmk...
2/ First, the @AP is a non-profit. It is not trying to meet insane shareholder demands. It is there to continue it's particular, insanely hard and important mission even as the news gets tougher to report and pay for.
3/ What is that mission? Well the AP has reporters and editor and photojournalists and videographers all over the world, and if every part of the country. It is, along with the BBC, one of the biggest most vital news gathering entities out there.

I would read a media story about why they continue to be so unrelentingly bad at this.
Is it weird AP rules? Is it one terrible editor? Is it a marketplace issue—needing to make content to appease their clients at more conservative papers? Is it just the worst and outdated “both sides” lazy assignment desk? All of the above?
In the actual piece, they lay out other things pretty sensibly. So this could just be a social media editor deciding to highlight the spiciest/worst bit of analysis in their. Whoops

Some of the most radical changes under Trump have come from the many behind-the-scenes appointees, the government insiders, who have come out of the swamp the president pledged to drain.

Zinke's possible replacement: motherjones.com/environment/20…
David Bernhardt is the perfect No. 2 to a highly visible No. 1

Zinke's the politician, outsider; Bernhardt's the ultimate swamp creature

Zinke faces investigations; Bernhardt radically shapes policy outside the spotlight

Bernhardt's been okay with that motherjones.com/environment/20…
.@danspinelli902 looked at a bunch of the other swamp creatures with more minor parts but outsized conflicts of interest in Interior's oversight of a fifth of US lands motherjones.com/politics/2018/…

#ESP and #MAR are facing off right now at the #WorldCup stadium built by Aras Agalarov, oligarch beloved by Putin and Trump's longtime Russian business partner. Agalarov's treatment of the stadium's builders was…not great. /1 motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
In July 2016, stadium builders in Kaliningrad went on strike after going months without their full salary. The subcontractor employing them offered them breakfasts in lieu of pay. /2
After prosecutors sued the subcontractor and ordered it to pay back wages, the firm's director straight up disappeared: His car was found at the airport, and he was found *a year later* in a Russian city 1000 miles away. /3 bit.ly/2IdkCPC

1/ The NRA has recently been under fire amid student gun protests, but we've been covering the group's operations for years. Here’s what we’ve dug up:

First, the NRA's top lawyer for decades once was arrested for murder, then freed over bad police work.
motherjones.com/politics/2014/…
2/ The NRA has historically lobbied for laws that fail black gun owners. motherjones.com/politics/2017/…
3/ And their membership numbers are nowhere what they claim. motherjones.com/crime-justice/…

My latest post:

9 days after Trump Campaign Chairman (Manafort) indicted for money laundering...

Trump Campaign National Finance Chairman (Mnuchin) announces a new person in charge of... money laundering.
cepr.net/blogs/cepr-blo…
Here's a letter to the Counsel for the Inspector General of the Treasury Department urging an investigation into Mnuchin -- cepr.net/images/documen…

Latter is co-signed by: @AmFamValues @CREDOMobile @demandprogress @MarchForTruth17 @peoplefor @Public_Citizen
Why did Mnuchin suddenly change leadership at FinCEN?

Is it related to Cyprus and Mueller? theguardian.com/us-news/2017/d…

Thread: 'quiet accomplishments' of Trump admin. Very little major legislation - but it doesn't mean they're not accomplishing their agenda.
