Massive encroachment by Jeff Bezos into The Washington Post’s opinion section today - makes clear dissenting views will not be published or tolerated there

I still have not felt encroachment on my journalism on the news side of coverage, but if Bezos tries interfering with the news side I will be quitting immediately and letting you know

Brave to @jeffstein.bsky.social, WaPo's chief economics correspondent, for not wasting any time in stating what must be stated. Hopefully the first of many.

Trump officials issue quotas to ICE officers to ramp up arrests An ICE official said the agency’s list of criminal suspects was sufficiently long that officers would be able to continue prioritizing public safety and national security threats to meet quotas.

Quotas are a terrible way to measure effectiveness of law enforcement by putting quantity over quality. They compromise professional standards and move priorities from most dangerous offenders to low-hanging fruit.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

the reason gen z doesn’t care at all about β€œchina having their data” is because gen z knows that the US government has collected their online activity data since they were born

People are often surprised when I tell them this: both Twitter and Facebook/insta/threads are now specifically engineered to downgrade, hide, suppress real journalism. If this platform is different, that's a huge change
