Saying “I don’t do politics” is a privilege.
Democracy rarely falls all at once. It erodes slowly, quietly, through apathy & disengagement. Everytime someone says “I don’t do politics,” they help normalize silence and silence is fertile ground for authoritarianism.

I was listening to @hcrichardson.bsky.social, she brought up Sascha Riley, said it's not verified yet, and that's the reason why media, or reporters, haven't been reporting on it. (paraphrasing not quoting her)
My question
So why isn't anybody investigating? Where are the basement detectives?

So Vance says the ICE agent who murdered an American citizen has “Absolute Immunity.” ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY? Fuck that! All you bootlicking pricks who are ok with this—if we don’t stop this BS right now, shooting people will become an everyday occurrence on the streets of America and you could be next!

If the NYT told the story of the homeless teenager exploited by Matt Gaetz with even half as much empathy as it tells the story of Olivia Nuzzi, it would be in danger of committing journalism.
