The House and Senate just passed a $95 billion bill to reinforce the U.S. war machine and ban the social media app where its critics are loudest. The legislation attached the measure to ban TikTok with more funding for Israel’s Gaza onslaught, the stalling war in Ukraine, and for Taiwan to pump up a Cold War with China. Amanda Yee, a Journalist and the Managing Editor of Liberation News analyzes why there is broad consensus in Congress for the expansion of censorship and the U.S. war machine but for little else.
BreakThrough News is building the media arm of the movement. We tell the untold stories of resistance from poor and working-class communities — because out of these stories we will construct a different narrative of the world, as it is and in real time.
Think to yourself, is this article something that would be published anywhere other than BreakThrough?
Five mega-corporations dominate the media landscape — controlling 90% of what we read, watch and listen to. People’s movements in every corner of the globe are changing history and shifting consciousness. But these movements barely receive any coverage from the corporate media. They need visibility. They need amplification. They need a media arm to break through.
Working-class people deserve better, we deserve media for and by us. We are not funded by billionaires or corporations – we are funded by you. Without you, BreakThrough would not be possible, so become a member and build the media arm of the movement with us.
