Remember last year when we said we would drop The Tribune's paywall if we raised enough money to support the transition to free? About that… 😁

Alaska vowed to resolve the murders of Indigenous people.
But when one nonprofit asked state law enforcement officials for a fundamental piece of data — a list of Indigenous murders they’d investigated — the state said no.

Alaska Vowed to Resolve Murders of Indigenous People. Now It Refuses to Provide Their Names.
When the nonprofit Data for Indigenous Justice filed public records requests with the Alaska Department of Public Safety concerning cases it had investigated, the state rejected them.

ICE arrested outstanding journalist @davedeckerphoto.bsky.social while he was on assignment covering protests at the facility in Miami. Throw him some money please because as a freelancer he doesn't have the legal support backing a full-timer would and we need to continue fighting for a free press.
Tampa based photojournalist Dave Decker @davedeckerphoto.bsky.social was on assignment as a member of the press on Saturday as he was covering a demonstration at the Krome ICE Detainment Center in Miami when he was arrested with 30 others:

By the way, it's National Editor Appreciation Day.
Nobody ever reads a great article and thinks, "Dang, that was some tight editing." But editing is a big part of how it got to be great.
So writers, if you've ever worked with a good editor, shout 'em out.

X's location "transparency" feature showing many MAGA accounts are based internationally reveals what we already knew: The world is using American social media and American politics as a slot machine and social media companies are directly incentivizing this:

And just so we’re clear: writers cannot be their own copy editors. A fresh pair of eyes is a necessity, not a luxury.
It is so, so bad. We’re surrounded by some of the sloppiest copy I’ve ever seen. Nothing gets another set of eyes anymore. Incredibly amateurish stuff at some really serious media orgs. Makes me wanna scream.
Every day I see spelling and grammar mistakes in ads, TV chyrons, and other places where, in the past, it would be deeply embarrassing and a deal breaker for the source, but now they just fly, and where are the editors. Just hire me or something, damn.

No president should have the power to silence journalists or control who gets to question them.
Good for the AP for refusing to back down. Others should follow their example.

Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.
She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.
“They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.

I don’t think it takes an economic genius to see the problem with every company aggressively cutting jobs, colluding to keep wages as low as possible, AND raising prices will result in not enough people being able to buy your product or service.

At this point the easiest way to position yourself as a premium brand is just to have your stuff professionally edited before it’s sent out into the world. And hire a real designer. Things that used to be bare minimum at even the smallest operations.

It’s wild that I own more pairs of pants than my childhood self could ever have imagined (like at least 20 pairs, maybe more) but half of them are wrong/bad in part because of the rapid changes over the last few years in what pants are supposed to look like.

I think in 2026 I’ll make it a point to write more. I got some mildly negative feedback in college because I was too shy to call sources and let that push me all the way away from writing for most of my career and maybe that wasn’t the best idea.
