What's happening at the Post is a larger version of what happened at Crosscut IMO: New owner gets excited about the *idea* of journalism so invests big up front. But when it inevitably doesn't deliver riches and glory, they cut bait. Journalism has to be seen as a public good, not a fun project.

Colorado became the first state to mandate polling places inside all county jails—and turnout among voters who were detained in jails skyrocketed.
It grew by roughly 900% between 2022 and 2024.

He may be coming home soon, but only because his health has deteriorated to the point where he will lose his eyesight if detained much longer, due to medical neglect and the poor conditions
