The co-author of "How Democracies Die" says the guys who own the media platforms — Musk, Zuckerberg, Ellison, Bezos, Cook — led the way. "Their capitulation empowered the Trump administration to do much more than it might have otherwise, to reach further and eventually overreach.” Via @status.news

I first saw NATCHEZ on something of a whim last August when I was up in Middlebury, VT to speak on a panel about journalism at the film festival there, and I have thought about it an awful lot since then. It's starting its theatrical run, and worth your attention.

One armed goon loses his shit at an observer who's backing up, and then several more armed goons tackle the observer to the ground, and then even more armed goons form a protective shield around the armed goons handcuffing the observer for hurting an armed goon's feelings.

Hurting people is easy. It's lazy. Anyone can do it with the right tools and the wrong morals.
Protecting people is hard. It takes restraint and courage and empathy. They will never have that. So they can never win, in the end. Minneapolis will win.
