We are losing something by having newsrooms where everyone who has more than a few years’ experience has gotten fired. I don’t fault a young writer for not knowing about things that happened before she was born. But now there are no editors to help give context to these stories, either.

Just got a D trip fundraising email “from” Hakeem Jeffries asking for money to stand up to Trump. Hard to believe he’ll stand up to Trump when he won’t even stand up to AIPAC and support a candidate NYC Dems have overwhelmingly said is their chosen nominee.

In Kenya, Gen Z Battles Corruption and Police Violence
What keeps the Ruto administration running from crisis to crisis remains a complete unwillingness to listen to people and an unswerving commitment to responding to any form of dissent with violence.

'“I don't think that people appreciate how few people are working to keep these collections online, even at huge institutions,” Weinberg told me. “It's usually an incredibly small team, one person, half a person, half a person, plus, like their web person who is sympathetic to what's going on.'

Obama finally said it. Witnessing so many urbanist colleagues express outrage re: the current political climate while ignoring the very real issue of racism is excruciating. But yes, imagine if someone who looked like Obama dared to even think about doing a single thing this president has done.
