A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:
Come sit with me in the empty theater

I’ve been using the CIA World Factbook online since I was a little kid. What a stupid, pointless desecration.
They closed the CIA World Factbook and deleted it entirely.

Think of the world we could have if we just got our money back from like 100 people and enacted a little antitrust legislation. It's closer than you think.
Let your rage and sorrow in. Let it make you delulu for this.

Last year Will Lewis told WaPo staff that "people aren't reading your stuff." As though it was their fault that he and Bezos had corrupted the opinion section, demolished local coverage, and alienated thousands of subscribers. Now a great newsroom is being destroyed to hide their gross incompetence.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
