Summary

The Pentagon announced a new annual media rotation program, removing established outlets like NBC News, The New York Times, NPR, and Politico from dedicated workspaces.

The memo orders these organizations to vacate their offices in two weeks, while replacing them with outlets such as OANN, New York Post, Breitbart, and HuffPost.

NBC News expressed disappointment over losing long-held technical capabilities essential for timely reporting.

The move follows Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s narrow confirmation and signals a broader effort to reshape Pentagon media access, transforming U.S. government communications permanently.

    No general strike has ever been allowed nonviolently. How do we organize a general strike when 32% support the shit, 36% don’t care, and the other 31% are trying not to be the ones that get shuffled off to camps first? I’m not trying to be defeatist I’m genuinely asking.

      Other people being violent towards you does not make your actions violent. Also, there’s actually been many general strikes that were not attacked by state forces at least. There have probably been hundreds of general strikes through history. They’re common enough that they’re not really covered in history classes past a sentence or two, if at all. It was actually a general strike that staved off the first coup against the German civilian govt post-WW1.

      Organizing, I’m not sure.
