"The loss of the Post-Gazette would be awful; it’s an above-average metro daily that has done a lot of good work. While there are debates to be had about what it means to be a “city without a newspaper,” the largest thus far is probably Youngstown, Ohio. But... this would be a new scale of loss."
Will Pittsburgh become America’s most important city without a newspaper?
One of the country's oldest newspapers, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, says it's shutting down in May. Not going digital-only — just disappearing. But the delayed closure could also spur some long-delay...

I’ve heard from multiple friends today about daycares being raided and parents being ripped out of cars (in one case with a child left behind in the backseat). Grim times here.
The situation in Minneapolis is insane: seemingly many large convoys of heavily armed masked men, blocking off streets at random, grabbing people nearly at random, racing around the city with no discernible plan or aim. Under attack by our own government the day after it killed someone

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time.
Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief.
Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time.
Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

Renee Good was 37 years old. A poet, a wife, a mother of three. And she was murdered by masked agents of a criminal regime because she dared to stand witness for her immigrant neighbors.

Since Speaker Johnson refuses to display the Jan 6 plaque, the Senate unanimously agreed to display it on our side of the Capitol. Speaker Johnson, go dig the plaque out of whatever hole you’ve been hiding it in.
ALERT: Senate has approves resolution to (finally) hang Jan 6th plaque honoring police
It'll hang in US Senate (w/ approval of GOP Leader John Thune) until Architect of Capitol finds permanent location
It could hang in 3rd floor visitor area, where rioters marauded on Jan 6

⚠️Nobody ever talks about the crazy ⬆️40%-50% higher risk of hospital staff deaths during/after pandemic. Pre-pandemic death rate was 850-900… post pandemic it’s hovered around 1200-1300 consistently since 2022 to today. #LongCovid is serious. It’s not the vaccine—been proven. It’s COVID.

The man who literally wrote the book on the use of vehicles as ramming weapons says any claim Good used hers as such is false, and that her execution, followed by the false claim, is "death squad behavior."
🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7

Imagine slandering a mother tragically killed. These people have no decency.
The Trump admin's PR operation is obvious – call Renee Nicole Good a "domestic terrorist" and repeat it very loudly and confidently – but the lack of evidence is also obvious. Where's the proof that she was "stalking" ICE officers? The lack of followup says a lot
