My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

The insurrectionists have seized power. They are purging their enemies.

Does the broader public have a sense of how extraordinary this moment is?
Fired Jan. 6 prosecutors were told they were terminated "based upon your actions in the prosecution of persons relating to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021," and cited Trump calling it a "grave national injustice."

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.”

“Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath

One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss
Copenhagen, the bicycle-friendliest place on the planet, publishes a biannual Bicycle Account, and buried in its pages is a rather astonishing fact.

Stop fucking saying he blamed “DEI,” which is some abstract, non-tangible idea. He is blaming people of color having jobs he thinks they aren’t qualified for. He’s blaming race. He’s being racist every time he says it. Journalists need to get fucking backbones, my word.

Normalizing spelling out what people actually mean when they cite DEI rather than letting them hide behind the safe cover of a euphemism that's been sapped of meaning

Question (please reply below so I can make a thread): what is a book you read that, for whatever good reason, absolutely blew your mind? All genres welcome: just trying to expand my thinking (and my bookshelf obviously). Thank you!

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

Altadena is one of the oldest Black communities in Southern California. It’s where, during the Great Migration, Black families found footholds in the American Dream. It’s where homes became anchors of generational wealth & physical proof of what our parents & grandparents built, against the odds! 🧵
I talked to the Black residents of Altadena who say they’ve lost everything but hope.

“When you escape tragedy, you say, ‘it could have got me.’ It didn’t. So I’m going to keep on going,” said 83-year-old Walt Butler.

“All that stuff that you thought was so important can be gone in five minutes.”
