"Not only did it seem that city leaders had failed to recognize the magnitude of the crisis until one of their own had died, they had also made those bearing the brunt of the pandemic feel responsible for their own demise."
ProPublica Managing Editor @gingerthompson.bsky.social set out to write a David-vs.-Goliath narrative about Albany, Georgia’s response to COVID-19.
But she realized there were more enduring questions and challenges facing Albany. They were about race and power.

I Started Covering the COVID-19 Crisis in Albany, Georgia. This Moment Made Me Realize There Was a Bigger Story to Tell.
The virus had killed about 38 people, most of them Black, by April 2020. But when a white judge died, local officials made sure to announce her name.

It’s possible that Taylor Swift solved the masculinity crisis but even if she didn’t, the end of this video had me 🥹😭
In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

You can very clearly see why someone whose job it is to protect war criminals would need this pulled from the airwaves: It’s visible proof the Trump administration is operating concentration camps.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Hawaii Supreme Court Expands Rights of Defendants, and Once Again Rebukes SCOTUS - Bolts
The justices ruled that Hawaii’s constitution requires police to record interrogations. And they vowed to protect due process for Hawaii residents—unlike, they said, the Roberts Court.

So hard. Hard to have a job you hate and suck at and that actually impacts Americans' lives and safety. Good riddance.
Actually working for a living is hard for Republicans.
Dan Bongino has a nice cry on Fox & Friends: "I gave up everything for this. I mean, my wife is struggling... I stare at these 4 walls all day in DC, you know, by myself, divorced from my wife. Not divorced, but I mean, separated. And it's hard."

It's impressive, in its way, to make cowardice not just part of your political identity, but ALL of it. When the book on Mike Johnson is written...it will molder in unopened cardboard boxes.

I think it’s because Rob Reiner had a hand in creating some of the most enjoyable art for American culture while also just being an extremely lovable person for decades. His lost impacts the American psyche over generations. America loved him and you can’t shit on someone like that. Even trump.
I don’t know what it is about the Rob Reiner situation in particular, but I’ve never seen one of these Trump posts draw as much criticism and condemnation from MAGA/conservative folks as this one has.
Not suggesting he’s losing his coalition or praising them, it’s just interesting that this was it.
