One of the most searing observations from the past year. The only thing I would change would maybe be to switch out “terrifying” with “demoralizing” or “enraging.”
Let us never forget those institutions and individuals who, faced with a generational threat, decided to bow down rather than fight.

A great example of how the @nytimes.com centers white Americans and Trump supporters in its anecdotal political coverage. You never see stories like this about Black Democrats whose cities are cracked in Republican gerrymandering to give them Republican elected officials.
They Wanted a Conservative State. They Might Get a Democratic Representative Instead.
The passage of Proposition 50, which redrew California’s congressional map, means that all of the state’s conservative north is likely to be represented by Democrats.

As we wrote in @columjournreview.bsky.social, the Orban playbook was to pressure media companies, find an ally to purchase them when that pressure made them financially vulnerable, then have the ally install loyalists to turn the outlet in regime propaganda. #BariWeiss www.cjr.org/analysis/ant...

"On two other flights, two of the passengers, respectively, were women who would be possible witnesses in a Maxwell case," the assistant US attorney said in the email.
Flight records show Trump "traveled on Epstein's private jet many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware)," an assistant US attorney from the Southern District of New York wrote in an email dated January 8, 2020.
