Looking back at the next couple of weeks in history for no reason whatsoever:

1790 🤞
4 February: Louis XVI declares to the National Assembly that he will maintain the constitutional laws.

1933
30 January: Hitler is appointed Chancellor of Germany by President of Germany Paul von Hindenburg.

Today once again proved that everyday citizens protesting their government are braver than the titans who own the largest media corporations, run the biggest law firms and lead the most powerful technology companies.

I’m so struck by this video. A regular day in Logan Square in front of a grocery store and ICE pulls up and tear gassed people. Funston Elementary School is right across the street as well. This is a major corridor in Logan Sq. No concern for human safety

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.

We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

Wrote up something about Techdirt's recent coverage, and why (whether we like it or not) we need to be a "democracy blog" now, rather than just a "tech" blog (not that we've ever been just a tech blog).

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head.

So, I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own.

I’m working on updates the Capitol Riot Map—an interactive visualization of the more than 1,500 individuals connected to January 6th.

I’ve spent more than 3-years and devoted hundreds of hours to this project, and there’s still more work to be done. Details on how to support this project below👇🏼
