Any of those “free speech warriors” going to speak up about this?

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Some More Font Upgrades, After Yesterday’s Calibri News www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...
Some further updates to our font preferences: The Justice Department will be switching to Comic Sans because current fonts have a veneer of professionalism that feels out of place in communications written by Lindsey Halligan. Now all "fundamental misstatements of law" (a judge's words, not ours!) will be in a font where they will feel more at home. The Department of Transportation is switching to Goudy Old Style to fix everyone's biggest problem with air travel: pajamas The fonts aren't square enough! It will also be phasing out Clearview on road signs, on the grounds that this typeface is entirely too legible. Legibility is DEIA at work. People should struggle to read. This is also why we are dismantling the Department of Education.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

The term ‘lone gunman’ ignores the structures that enable violence
A scholar of extremism writes that the use of the term often obscures deeper societal issues such as rising political violence and is dangerously simplistic.

Aren't you tired of how central money is to our democracy?

To give a sense of out-of-kilter we are, a single state court race saw significantly more spending than the entire United Kingdom national election.

Thanks John Roberts!
