Yesterday, Crosscut’s parent company (@CascadePubMedia) announced it intends to lay off five newsroom employees, effective July 1, and replace them with additional video and podcast producers.
I’m usually all about compromise but the experience shared by @esglaude explains the terrifying and sad reason why compromise is not always the best choice - or even a choice at all.
As he commented on today's inauguration, @esglaude was receiving “the most vicious emails in real time. People calling for my violent death. Folks threatening my life.” It’s these people, unwilling to peacefully disagree, who he says present a real challenge for Biden.
President Biden: “There is truth and there are lies. Lies told for power & for profit. And each of us has a duty & a responsibility as citizens, as Americans, & especially as leaders, leaders who have pledged to honor our constitution... to defend the truth and defeat the lies.”
I know masks have become a partisan issue — but it’s a patriotic act. Experts say wearing a mask from now until April will save more than 50,000 lives.
Stuff lent to the White House by various museums controlled by the federal government always gets returned at the end of a term like this.

And silence enables it.
@hudeatsbugs@igorbobic The officer initially scopes out the door, sees it's not guarded, and tries to block the way. More rioters pour up the stairs after them, and the officer seems to go with a new strategy – he shoves the first rioter, pissing him off, and then leads the whole mob the other way.
White Republicans: Black people who don't comply with law enforcement should be executed where they stand.
Also White Republicans: Holding white insurrectionists accountable for their attack on the U.S. Capitol is divisive.
Arguing that we shouldn’t arrest & detain white supremacists planning large scale attacks right now b/c that alone won’t end white supremacy or violence is the same logic as saying we shouldn’t engage in armed resistance against an attacking enemy b/c that won’t end war.
If you haven't yet seen this Chris Hayes video, stop what you're doing and WATCH it. Do not turn away.
This is the unsanitized version of what happened at the US Capitol.
trump, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley and the rest all must go NOW.
