This is why it's important to support independent journalism like @texasobserver.org.
NEW: X has become a hotbed of neo-Nazi content under Elon Musk. We identified the operators of four anonymous accounts that share racist, antisemitic, and neo-Nazi content. Three live in Texas. Musk has replied to two of them. One works for the Navy.

I asked more than three dozen tech companies that sell, possess, or help analyze personal data whether they would help facilitate Trump's promised mass deportation operations—Only six responded, and only one said no theintercept.com/2024/12/02/l...
These Tech Firms Won’t Tell Us If They Will Help Trump Deport Immigrants
The Intercept asked data companies that store personal data if they will help Trump conduct mass deportations. Few had anything to say.

Also please assign it to a trans journalist as an actual feature, not a personal essay, I am begging you. There are tons of great trans political journalists out there, such as @transscribe.bsky.social, who knows a little somthing about being openly trans on Capitol Hill.
Dear Editors — If you’re considering publishing an article about issues related to transgender people, then perhaps you should consider assigning that article to a transgender journalist. Don’t have any transgender journalists in your newsroom?

Be wary of any reporting that regurgitates Trump's claim that Brendan Carr is a "warrior for Free Speech." He's actually the opposite, willing to use the FCC to go after TV broadcasters that are "unfair" to Trump, or to punish fact-checkers, like NewsGuard, that vet Trump's many false claims.
