Zuckerman vs Zuckerberg

July 14, 2024

Ethan Zuckerman is a professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and a scholar of digital media. He and his team work to understand the contemporary digital world and build social media systems that are focused on communities, not on profits.

Please tune in to hear the details of the case and the various ways it could change the social media landscape. It's fascinating!

Pete Hegseth seems open to ordering soldiers to shoot protesters

Washington Post

Summary

Nutrition label

69% Informative

Former Fox News host Pete Hegseth is a potential Cabinet member who has endorsed extreme responses to protests.

In the past, he has said he would not rule out ordering members of the military to shoot protesters in the legs.

The potential secretary of defense is a former National Guard member who was in Lafayette Square in 2020 .

Defense Secretary Hegseth said some of the violence was carried out by leftists hoping to make Trump supporters look bad.

It would be interesting to ask whether he felt it would have been justified to deploy the military to Capitol Hill on Jan. 6, 2021 .

Protesters showing up at the White House during Trump ’s second term would probably see far less sympathy and far more risk.
