Honoured that Capturing News, Capturing Democracy: Trump and @voanews.com.web.brid.gy was a finalist for the @aejmc.bsky.social
prestigious Tankard award. @melbunce.bsky.social @martinscott2010.bsky.social and I are delighted. Our hearty congratulations to @gwynmell.bsky.social!
That feels very much like the British actions in the 1770s that ... checks notes ... led to the series of grievances listed in the Declaration of Independence and a legal system based around warrants, habeas corpus, and on and on....

He is zipping around like a puppy. It wasnβt immediate but we noticed a major change after the third one. Itβs about $80 a month where I am.

My father was stationed in Fairbanks during WW2 for a reason.

In 2016 the NYT ran multiple front page stories page about the grave national security risk of Hillary Clinton's server.
Today's front page, and nary a mention of the successful "plutocratic coup" (said by a sitting House member) or "constitutional crisis (said by a sitting Senator) unfolding
Seriously.
