One thing I see liberal outlets giving ground on that I feel the need to correct: it’s impossible to “dox” a paid public official
By simply reporting their name, institutional role, and political affiliations

Six years ago, I wrote about how the media has been falling for Trump's "new tone" nonsense for five years at that point. So we're now... 11 years into the media falling for Trump's "new tone." www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

Reupping this for the day crowd. I've been hearing a little about a lack of actual communication from the VA to staff after Alex Pretti's killing. I want to find out what is actually going on. Reach out on Signal @ nslayton.12

The Trump administration has secretly rewritten nuclear safety rules The rewrite was done to speed up the construction of a new generation of nuclear reactors. Critics warn it could compromise safety and public trust.

This is a hell of a way to wake up on Wednesday. Good morning @gbrumfiel.bsky.social!

For DOE, as the inheritors of the promotion side of the AEC equation, rulemaking for their orders has always been a little a little different and less subject to public comment than NRC. But, uhh, not like this.

Summary of "Signal Gate":

Easily accessible public info on how to get connected with neighbors was found by right wing agitators. (defend612)

They joined group chats that help folks find specific groups for their neighborhood.

Some of the group chats are easier to get into than others.

In 2022 I started tracking changes in how news outlets were describing trans people, and set up a bot to record every article pushed to the Google News index based on a handful of search phrases, including “biological sex” in both the US and UK. The amount in 2023 alone was absolutely staggering.

News Stories Shape Public Perception of Trans Lives. We’re Keeping Score. — Assigned Our Trans News Tracking Project seeks to catalogue bias at major news organizations in the US.

In 2026, we're launching an ambitious effort to track legacy news media's coverage of the trans community, with a focus on the words news outlets choose and how those are changing as right wing pressure threatens the independence of our press.

As one of Minnesota's spreadsheet dads, myself and other friends of @mn50501.bsky.social have been tracking ICE flights at MSP.

We haven't had more than one flight in a day since Jan 15. Today's had 33 people board, 8 yesterday.

An unacceptable situation, but it is trending down, thankfully.

This is the problem of a decade of reporting on that fucking guy: they won't address the content of what he's saying and the vagaries of "tone" allow them to contort his statements into anything they want

In Criminal Justice Elections This Year, ICE Contracts Are on the Hot Seat - Bolts With roughly 2,400 elections for prosecutor and sheriff this year, Bolts reviews the map and early hotspots that will shape criminal punishment and law enforcement practices.

NEW: There are 2,400+ elections for DA & sheriff this year.

These matter hugely to criminal justice & policing—including: *these are often officials who decide ICE collaboration.*

So I took a dive into these 2,400+ races to identify early hotspots and battlegrounds.

Read, & check out our maps:
