This Peter Baker joint does catalog Trump's lies and censorship, but headline and text tie themselves in journo-cliched linguistic knots to avoid that direct judgment. He's not "underscoring a tendency." He's not an "echo" of an "authoritarian playbook." He is a dictator. https://inkcap.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:6y2b4lqfw2j3oyycegx3ey7q&cid=bafkreial4kzmxquyiz34joz32anz24w24jnoowqho3kk5m226vfdxi4csi

The most broken thing the #BrokenTimes doesn't do today: It doesn't cover the NoKings protests on its home page (can you find it?). There is a link to a 6/11 story about other protests. There is plenty of coverage of Trump's fascist parade. The rest of us? No. https://inkcap.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:6y2b4lqfw2j3oyycegx3ey7q&cid=bafkreiabuvjoghruvrdalwlvdpa3krc6xxp5ajemloekjohh32oejo7rqm

The #BrokenTimes' Healy can't even take a win. They run Larry David's brilliant op-ed skewering Maher but feel compelled to (1) explain the joke and (2) add: "Larry’s piece is not equating Trump with Hitler." Well, you should. They're both fascists. [www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/o...](

Yesterday, 1,400 protests were held to protest the Trump whose headlines fill this page. But to the #BrokenTimes this morning, they are a buried BTW. It has plenty of photos; none here. This is what they call "news judgment." To the Times, we are not news. https://inkcap.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:6y2b4lqfw2j3oyycegx3ey7q&cid=bafkreigmfo3x6iws32t3xbyto6ykc3hqutm4lbad5f5vnd6q4gnotcwj2q
The White House did not *obey.* That is the more relevant verb, given that this is about flouting a court order, separation of powers, and the Constitutional crisis we are in. This kind of word choice is critical. https://inkcap.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:6y2b4lqfw2j3oyycegx3ey7q&cid=bafkreif66llk463tc7sv3qp56hvynpio6iumq4bl3u76naxpccpy5jedku
