U.S. Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer appeared on a panel together at the 62nd Munich Security Conference along with Matthew Whittaker, United States ambassador to NATO. They talked about complicated issues of foreign policy and geo-diplomacy for an hour or so and it was, at the time, seen as an uncontroversial, non-newsworthy conversation. Yet a few days later, the press was full of stories about their slip-ups and lack of knowledge. Emily Horne, a former National Security Council and State Department spokesperson, did a deep dive into what had happened. What she found? Stories from "pink slime" sites — local news publications that are largely funded by right-wing dark money groups — picked up and "laundered" into real news by POLITICO, The New York Times and more.

We’ve read more about Joe Rogan in the last couple of weeks than we really wanted to — first, with the Menswear Guy’s story for Bloomberg on his influential physique, and now, with JA Westenberg (npub1wkr…yvj6)’s article on the dangers of the Roganified male mystique, and what to do about it. “That pipeline doesn’t stop because we roll our eyes at it. It stops when we block it with something real. The Roganification of masculinity is a symptom. The disease is deeper. But the cure won’t come from debunking or mocking. It will come from reclaiming the terrain of meaning. Of power. Of identity,” she writes. “The future of men is being whispered into a mic. What these men hear next — rage or renaissance — depends on what we build. And whether we build it fast enough.”

Farmers struggle to make a profit at the best of times, and times just got worse. gbhnews (npub1y8f…25hj) spotlights how cuts in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s federal grant programs mean Massachusetts schools, food hubs and food pantries can’t buy fresh produce, and farmers are left with cases of unwanted produce. Who wins? No one.

At a meeting of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII), the U.S. counselor for economic and social affairs, Edward Heartney, touted President Donald Trump as a protector of Indigenous women. It didn’t go well. Toastie (npub1gc6…598x) reports for [@HighCountryNew](https://flipboard.com/@HighCountryNew ) about this, and some of the other speeches at the annual meeting. Heartney slipped out in the silence immediately after he spoke. Had he waited, he would have heard what sounded like a direct rebuff to his statement, though it was written in advance. “The U.S. has opened the coastal plain to oil and gas leasing, threatening our very survival,” said model and land protector Quannah ChasingHorse on behalf of the Gwich’in Steering Committee. “The Gwich’in have never given consent for development, and our right to self-determination is being violated by interests that view our lands as a commodity,” ChasingHorse continued. “I am outraged that decisions about my people’s future are being made without us at the table.”

Last December, Bashar al-Assad was toppled as leader of Syria by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and fled to Moscow. Syrians celebrated, but now, some are worried that life after Assad may be no better. damemagazine@newsie.social’s Ryan Biller talked to Syrians about their fears of religious extremism, foreign interference and misinformation. “Somewhat discreetly, I disclosed to [a Yazidi woman named] Gulizar that I was an American,” writes Biller. “To this, she smirked. ‘Oh, so you must feel the same way as me.’ ‘What do you mean?’ I asked. Gulizar reminded me that it wasn’t just her new government that people ought to fret over regarding the treatment of women and minorities. ‘I think you kind of have your own version of HTS in America,’ she laughed. ‘It is called Donald Trump.’”

What’s the best way to make something more efficient? If you’re DOGE, it’s to cancel a project that’s almost complete, and that would itself reduce government waste and make people safer. SFPublicPress (npub1n3x…yshk) spoke to Jayson McCauliff, who was laid off from the U.S. Digital Service. His team was seven months from completing a project with the CDC to modernize its disease surveillance system. “The recent dismantling of our team has left me feeling a complex mix of grief for the lost potential and determination to ensure these stories are heard,” McCauliff says.

The Chinese writer Fang Fang’s first novel was published in 1982 and for the best part of 40 years, she made her living as a writer, including winning national awards for her work. Then came COVID-19. Her public lockdown diary, “fengcheng riji,” published on her Weibo (microblog) account, became a phenomenon, and made her a target for criticism. She’s been called a liar and a traitor, reprints of her backlist of nearly 100 books have been halted, and her new work is effectively banned from publication in China. The New York Review of Books (npub1j6a…4lm2) reviews “Soft Burial,” her latest novel (translated by Michael Berry), and finds a story about trauma and survival. “I’ve chosen to forget, while you have chosen to leave a record. But once you record what happened, how will I ever be able to forget?” one character says to another. “Meanwhile the novel itself acts as a site, however small, however incomplete, for remembrance,” writes reviewer Madeleine Thien. [Story may be paywalled]

Texas’s House Bill 3225 is aimed at municipal libraries, and bans anyone aged under 18 from accessing “sexually explicit materials,” without defining what that is, restricts their access to the library’s general collection, even for school assignments, and more. Author Chris Barton testified against this at the Texas legislature, and writes for Texas Observer (npub1xf8…0uw6) about the many problems with this bill. “If a few Texas parents don’t want their kids to have free and full access to our libraries, let those parents hold their own children’s hands, never allow them out of their sight, and never allow them to think for themselves. That’s on them,” he writes. “But Texas libraries are treasures paid for by our tax dollars. Leave our libraries alone and let the rest of us — of all ages — make good use of them.”

Flipboard loves local news — journalists who live in the communities they serve hold truth to power; knowing what's going in your neighborhood, town, city, state or province helps you feel connected and informed. That's why our next federation wave is going to be for local. We have hundreds of local websites on Flipboard, and eventually, we'll federate them all, but since our approach to federation is slow and steady, we'd like to start with what the community here wants. So tell us: Which of these U.S. regions would you like to see in the fediverse? Tell us in the comments which city or town you're in, and your favorite paper. And don't worry Canada, we're coming for you next.

_________________________

The Yakama Nation holds treaty rights to gather food in Pushpum, a ridgeline overlooking the Columbia River in Washington. When a new green energy project was proposed for the land, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) talked to leaders of the tribal nation, but asked them to disclose exactly why the land was considered sacred — knowledge that could make it vulnerable to desecration. Eventually, the project was moved forward without consultation. ProPublica (npub1qmg…s6k5) reports on the question of whether and how the U.S. government should protect tribal privacy and cultural resources.

And finally, a lovely story from The Conversation U.S. (npub1gpe…88e5) about making art. "Even a single session of real and honest self-expression can improve self-confidence and reduce feelings of stress, anxiety and burnout. This is partly because creativity activates reward pathways in the brain,” writes Girija Kaimal, a professor of art therapy research. Her article includes tips on bringing creativity into daily life. “A cultural tradition, tinkering with electronics, making a gift for someone or simply paying attention to everyday beauty – any of these can be a creative activity.”

The Ethiopian prime minister, Abiy Ahmed, is building himself a palace as part of a grand 503-hectare complex that includes a hotel, accommodation for visiting dignitaries, and three artificial lakes. Some say it’s a vanity project; his spokesperson told The Continent (npub1umk…2hjm) that this is a “simplistic narrative,” and that it is actually a “satellite city project” that aims to “transform the face and environs of Addis Ababa.” According to remarks made by Abiy, the bill for the complex could be U.S. $10 billion, more than half of the country’s annual budget.

Allison Hantschel writes for DAME Magazine (npub1vq8…m4d2) about the media’s obsession with polls and their limited usefulness. “Our presidential elections are determined by the electoral college, which means it doesn’t matter what people in general think. If it were, I’d be in line to visit the Al Gore Presidential Library right now,” she concludes.
