I read @oliverdarcy.bsky.social's interview with WaPo's Matt Murray and I cannot believe he uttered these words: We’ve made great progress on an ambitious plan to reinvent The Post as the most trusted, accurate news organization in the world, with riveting and relevant information for all Americans.

The idea that "political is bad" is worth challenging. A lot of good things are done for political reasons.

Access to the COVID-19 vaccines remains difficult because of an unusual and unexplained delay by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in accepting recommendations from its advisers.

The CDC still hasn't issued COVID vaccine guidelines, leaving access in limbo

LA sheriff's deputy Mike Coberg pleaded guilty to federal conspiracy charges for helping the crypto "Godfather" extort a rival and the false arrest of an adversary in 2021.

Previously Coberg was in the news in 2018 (right) because he was involved in 4 shootings.

"More than 1,000 renters across five states in affordable apartment buildings owned by the same private equity firm are launching a first-of-its kind coordinated union drive effort."

Jennifer Caroccio Maldonado, PhD @drcaromaldo.blacksky.app · 18d

This is kinda incredible that renters from multiple units in a realtor's portfolio are organizing for tenants' rights.

Tenants Seek to Unionize One Private Equity Firm's Entire Housing Portfolio

By organizing renters across Capital Realty Group’s affordable housing complexes, the Tenant Union Federation hopes to bring sectoral bargaining to negotiations with large landlords.
