This is such a key point, and one which the NYT, WaPo, CNN, Axios, Politico, etc. don't understand.
But @mmasnick.bsky.social and the people at @wired.com get it.
If you are at all committed to small-l liberalism, then that commitment must now be your central identity as an org.

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).
This story is *the* story and it impacts everything else.

Do MAGA voters love what Trump is doing. Yes. But a lot of Trump voters aren’t MAGA. They just wanted their cost of living to go down. Now, some of these voters are starting to worry he might not be laser focused on improving the economy. My latest:

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

In a TV panel on Tuesday, and I joked that Canada's promised "24/7 eyes on the border" should be some hockey sticks with googly eyes jammed in a snowbank.
Aaron and his mom KJ, in Winnipeg, liked the idea, so they made us some truly amazing border sentries. I hope Mr. Trump feels more secure now.

I understand the impulse to look away. But this is happening in our schools. A Baltimore teacher shared notes with me from her students, in English and Spanish, which show how they’re reacting to the prospect of ICE in schools. They’re heartbreaking, infuriating, and one was funny.

Brett Stephens has a truly stupid “never Trump was wrong, maybe Trump’ll be fine” columns in yesterday’s NYT. Same day the house GOP makes it clear (at Trump’s obvious behest) they’re going to investigate Liz Cheney. Sure guys, it’s all gonna be fine! Feel free to look away.
