Between White House stories like this and on-the-street coverage of ICE atrocities the Independent is going about 10 times harder than most big domestic newsrooms. Why is that?

look I'm not myself a political scientist so I can't say what effects it would have for a spate of politicians to crop up saying "the enemy is the oligarchy" and "the enemy is billionaires" while swinging a kettlebell but I think we should try it for science and see what happens
My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country.
I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

This is extremely important. What is described in this thread would constitute massive corruption of the U.S. legal system, aided and abetted by a public university. Journalists must immediately examine the facts here, and so should California legislators and regulators. Shocking.

It's impossible to convey; you have to experience it. Two weeks in pretty much any major EU city and you will see, by way of contrast, just how much grubby, pointless unpleasantness is involved in day-to-day US life. We are rich as hell & yet we voluntarily eat shit, every day. It's crazy-making.
Having spent the past two weeks in France, I’m astounded at how much better city life is in Europe than in America, and I never put it together that one reason is that both parties starve blue states and cities. Rs because they hate city dwellers and Ds to seem unbiased (and to buy rural votes)

to call this a crime against humanity is true but inadequate — it’s a crime against all creation
The Trump administration said that it would open up 58 million acres of back country in national forests to road construction and development, removing protections that had been in place for a quarter century.
