@senatorshoshana @AllTrails 1 in 6 Illinois residents not use AllTrails. The primary use of AT is not UGC but the trail maps. That said, this law won’t stand. Social media isn’t even social anymore but just a way to get short form video from creators. Whole thing feels like 10 years too late. Silliness.

BREAKING: DOJ Deputy Chief Admits Government Will “Redact Every Republican” While “Leav[ing] All the Liberal, Democratic People” on the Epstein Client List; Says Ghislaine Maxwell Was Moved to a Lower-Security Prison As “A Benefit… to Keep Her Mouth Shut”

“She [Maxwell] got transferred to a minimum security prison… It’s against BOP policy because she's a convicted sex offender.”

NYT tweeted this to its 55 million followers and it has under 500 retweets - presumably suppressed due to the link out. “John Kelly, Donald Trump’s longest-serving chief of staff, said Trump met the definition of a fascist and would try to govern like a dictator if elected”

This is a flat out lie. We’re working with all partners around the clock to get help to people. Trump’s lies and conspiracy theories have hurt the morale of first responders and people who lost everything, helped scam artists and put government and rescue workers in danger. - RC

Two @PulitzerPrizes for @invinst is amazing for Chicago but should not surprise anyone. Amazing and impactful work from @jamiekalven et al for more than a decade. You would not know Laquan McDonald without its work

scoop: Gannett will stop using AP content in its publications on March 25, according to a memo from chief content officer Kristin Roberts. "This shift will give us the opportunity to redeploy more dollars...where we might have gaps."

@jayrosen_nyu I agree local is hardest hit — but it’s mostly disruption on the biz side not the content/trust side. My only local paper is a hyperlocal weekly. Folks of all political stripes say it’s valuable. Yet the economics are inevitable. This is why I have hope local has a path back.

@baekdal I assume that’s a Covid bump on ages 45+? Super interesting how it barely registered on the younger demos. Broadcast network execs should take note that even locking people in their homes won’t make “the kids” watch more broadcast TV.

The Washington Post cannot see that this is not a poll about Biden but instead a poll about journalism and its failures to inform the public. Polls are their self-fulfilling prophesies. They are damaging to public discourse.
