I agree with @jayrosen.bsky.social. Still, The NY Times could and should still update and publish this checklist every 2-3 months. It would help raise awareness and could be used to focus advocacy efforts.
New York Times editorial board has compiled "a list of 12 markers of democratic erosion." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
This is what "not the odds, but the stakes" was all about.
During the 2024 campaign, those 12 markers could have been in place and operating to guide news coverage everywhere.

This is a great 12-point checklist [gift link]. Are we losing our #democracy? The quick answer is ‘yes.’ The NY Times should update and publish this regularly.
