New in PN: Trump gutted the weather service. Then Texas flooded.
"It might seem obvious that a botched disaster would implicate Trump. And yet, for some 50 years, Republicans have been trying to convince people that government only harms and never helps."

It's a brutal reminder that in disasters, we need the federal government.

Trump's new legislation funds mass deportation—and his loathsome desires—to a staggering degree. We should not be suprised.

The crackdown on opposition to Israel’s genocide in Gaza has become the excuse in most western democracies for some of the fiercest repression of speech, assembly, and expression in modern world history. Like watching a global crack down on opposition to the holocaust or the Rwandan genocide.
Just received news that 27 people have been arrested in Parliament Square under the Terrorism Act 2000 for holding signs saying "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action".
This is real police state behaviour.

Good reporting *provides* context. The NYTimes tried to *hide* that context, knowing most readers are never going to google someone on Twitter.
This was a smear piece—and they knew it from the jump.

The thread is pure deflection and evasion. Healy is really trying to claim that there's no problem with how they gave the Nazi pseudonymous cover because readers could just Google the pseudonym themselves to find out he's a Nazi—he calls this giving readers "context" and "a way to learn more."
The crisis at the New York Times can be summed up pretty concisely by the fact that Patrick Healy is in charge of Standards and Trust
