I feel like for a lot of people on this site, the weird news coverage of LA is like, “lol ok of course they’re not telling the truth”
But can I just say: as a longtime journalist, who had a lot of faith in the industry I joined, I’m quite disturbed by some of the coverage of LA!

A sitting Congresswoman is facing federal charges for bumping into a cop during an oversight visit.
Meanwhile, Trump pardoned every single Jan 6th thug who stormed the Capitol, beat officers, smeared shit on the walls, and got people killed.
The irony isn't subtle. It's the point. #Resist

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

The SAVE Act is disastrous legislation that would drastically alter the way every American citizen registers to vote.
The SAVE Act Would Disenfranchise Millions of Citizens
The SAVE Act would require all Americans to prove their citizenship with documentation unavailable to millions and upend the way every American citizen registers to vote.
