COMMENTARY: It seems an increasing number of Americans, including elected leaders and journalists, are afraid to tell the truth about what happened on January 6. That's dangerous.

There is some sad irony in McClatchy shutting its DC bureau the same day that Dick Cheney died.
That bureau (then Knight-Ridder) did some of the best, most skeptical reporting anywhere in the run-up to the Iraq War. And they took a lot of shit for it at the time.

All brought to you by the same group that in a previous episode staged a riot inside the national capital to disrupt and prevent the legal transfer of power to their political rivals after losing an election
I know it’s easy to get inured to this stuff but imagine a podcast ep where @mikeduncan.bsky.social is telling you about this happening in some other country at the same time that a crisis in parliament has shut down the national budget.
Presidents have federalized a state's own Guard to use over its objection, most famously desegregation. And sometimes regular military has been used. But taking one state's soldiers and putting them in another state? This is a completely unprecedented breakdown of what the Union fundamentally is.

Boston’s new “Better Buffers” initiative plans to replace flexposts with cast-in-place curbs. Somerville has started using pre-cast curbs recently. I assume pre-cast is cheaper/quicker to implement and just as protective as cast-in-place.

Before he was a Senator, a candidate for President, and our greatest champion in the fight against oligarchy, Bernie Sanders was the four-term Mayor of Burlington, VT.
I sat down with Bernie in Astoria to talk about the lessons he learned—and the work ahead.

You need to know what might be coming.
Trump could have brought the nation together to confront political violence after the murder of Charlie Kirk.
Instead he appears to be preparing to use the shooting as a pretext to destroy his political opposition and consolidate power.

Pay attention. Something dark might be coming.
The murder of Charlie Kirk could have united Americans to confront political violence. Instead, Trump and his anti-democratic radicals look to be readying a campaign to destroy dissent.

Stephen Miller: "The last message that Charlie Kirk gave to me before he joined his creator in heaven was he said that we have to dismantle and take on the radical left organizations in this country that are fomenting violence. That was the last message that he sent me ... we are gonna do that."

BREAKING: BlueSky is blocking access to Mississippi.
This is the No. 1 platform for @mississippifreepress.org.
We ditched X for BlueSky early this year.
And now, at 3 pm on a Friday, poof.
I don't know what we'll do next.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.
While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

It can be remarkable to see how such small details can affect an outfit: just a bit more room, a more interesting shape, and the use of natural materials. Combined with a better pair of shoes — even if they may not be cloud cushion soft — and you have a better summer outfit.

I grew up in the era of "it's the economy, stupid" - the idea being that political engagement is determined by voters' experience of the economy.
I dunno if thats the case today. Oligarch media succeeded in making the culture war the only thing most folks care about - as oligarchs steal everything.

In media, there are vast rewards for moving right - status, job security, media platforms.
Doing the opposite incurs pain - defunding, deplatforming, denigration, job insecurity.
Not surprisingly, many go for the reward, not the pain.
It's why this kind of story is so banal.
