Bluesky-the-app should be treated as the public test implementation of ATProto. Make no guarantees of user experience whatsoever, be completely arbitrary with moderation, treat all content as subject to deletion if it detracts from the mission of building the protocol.

Feds deporting woman who told a Michigan police department she was the victim of assault

Once federal prosecutors charged Veronica Ramirez-Verduzco with illegally re-entering the country, deportation became almost guaranteed.

tbf I'm not sure the opinion pages ever meaningfully did anything other than this, so at least it's openly declared rather than having any plausible deniability

Will Oremus @willoremus.com · Feb 26

Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos just emailed the paper's staff to announce a "change coming to our opinion pages."

I shared this note with the Washington Post team this morning:

I’m writing to let you know about a change coming to our opinion pages.

We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets. We’ll cover other topics too of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others.

There was a time when a newspaper, especially one that was a local monopoly, might have seen it as a service to bring to the reader’s doorstep every morning a broad-based opinion section that sought to cover all views. Today, the internet does that job.

I am of America and for America, and proud to be so. Our country did not get here by being typical. And a big part of America’s success has been freedom in the economic realm and everywhere else. Freedom is ethical — it minimizes coercion — and practical — it drives creativity, invention, and prosperity.

I offered David Shipley, whom I greatly admire, the opportunity to lead this new chapter. I suggested to him that if the answer wasn’t “hell yes,” then it had to be “no.” After careful consideration, David decided to step away. This is a significant shift, it won’t be easy, and it will require 100% commitment — I respect his decision. We’ll be searching for a new Opinion Editor to own this new direction.

I’m confident that free markets and personal liberties are right for America. I also believe these viewpoints are underserved in the current market of ideas and news opinion. I’m excited for us together to fill that void.

Jeff
