Hello @amywestervelt.bsky.social , what do you think of the argument that political reporters do more harm than good? e.g. Climate reporter = good, but climate politics reporter = bad.
I ask in rxn to the below analysis, combined with my experience with environmental reporters who know their stuff.

In recognition of the 100 days, Skye Perryman and @mjsdc.bsky.social remind us that losing and losing and losing in court matters for a whole lot of reasons. Courageous lawyers and judges are getting results, every day, and we are grateful.

We can’t lose sight of how reckless and dangerous this is. It would be reckless and dangerous even if we could trust this administration’s motives and competence when it comes to assessing how dangerous its targets are. We also know now to assume the worst of both.
