What radicalized you? I’ll go first. Thank you, FB Memories for reminding me that in 2009 amid the Great Recession, while I was an associate producer making $28K per year working midnight to 8:30 am, Gannett corporate bosses were receiving multi-million dollar bonuses

Ukrainian blood runs through my veins, and I stand unwavering with the people of Ukraine. We will not bow to blustering authoritarianism.

A self preservation February dispatch: I find myself not caring about what this administration does, who gets fired, and what protections are rolled back.
We knew this would happen. I tried to stop it. Now that it’s here, I don’t want to know all the details. I’m trying to survive and stay sane.

all I know is that had President Biden forced out the FAA chief under pressure from his top adviser and his corrupt motives, and then the next week there was a plane crash that killed more than 60 people, Republicans would be howling that it was an impeachable offense.

Minutes ago, the sun rose in Syria—the first dawn without a ruler named Assad in 54 years.
There remains so much uncertainty. But there's much to hope and pray for.
For freedom for that long-suffering people.
For justice for those brutalized by the Assads.
And for peace at long last.

This feels good to check off my list, a project 18 months in the making. We now have an HD camera with 360 degree pan, tilt and zoom atop UM Health-West Hospital. It took a lot of troubleshooting and patience with our HITS & facilities mgt teams, and now it's live: www.youtube.com/live/5vKMqij...

This take on what happened is vastly underrepresented out there compared to its likely proximity to the ground truth.
I wrote about the things I think are missing from the Dem discourse:
1) scope of the losses (you'd think this was 1984)
2) how media struggles to explain a second Trump win; easier to yell at Dems
3) there might not be a grand theory. it might be uninformed voters' vibes.

Decisive margin probably came from whims of low-information voters
Many swing voters only pay attention to politics long enough to cast their ballots.
