the doj was like "idk"
the state of oregon was like "we looked into it and the answer is no"
Identifying public officials isn't "doxing." People have the right to know who is working for their government. Nor, for that matter, is it "radical left-wing terrorism." So it's frustrating to see platforms caving to these bad faith characterizations. www.technologyreview.com/2025/10/06/1...

In an era when conflict often grabs the spotlight, Ceasefire creates an opportunity for something more civil but no less important: thoughtful dialogue between leaders who donβt always agree but are willing to listen. The network that doesn't take sides is producing Ceasefire, hosted by POLITICO's Dasha Burns, to showcase what happens when two leaders have a spirited, but civil dialogue as Americans not just partisans.
