“You are not entitled to a response from us, or anyone, ever,” is what a US Education Department spokesperson wrote to one of our reporters, @megomatz.bsky.social, after she repeatedly tried to get comment from the department and its officials. My column on the condemnation of good journalism.
Our Reporters Reached Out for Comment. They Were Accused of Stalking and Intimidation.
Our journalists reach out to people they’re writing about to ensure fairness. But in this environment, they’ve found their efforts to do so are more likely to be vilified than appreciated.

One of the most unexpected things this year is that now Gov. DeSantis and Bernie are pretty much on the same page about AI and data centers
Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

The idea that journalists cannot accurately or fully report on topics they have strong feelings about is not just silly… it would make it impossible to report any issue that has any impact on people’s lives. Unless we want to argue that journalists are immune to the human condition.

Sometimes (often) the facts are that one side is wrong on the facts.
Like the government’s attacks mRNA vaccines. Their misinformation kills people.
Or its embrace of lab leak conspiracies.
Or its efforts to ban gender affirming care.

Here's how he's getting affordable, locally grown food to residents. And how it fits into the larger picture of urban agriculture.
