“I don’t know the answer to that.”
The Article I Crisis, wearing a suit and tie.
We keep asking the wrong questions.
"Who benefits?" When it comes to debates over public funding and the future of journalism — which only feel like they've been dragging on for two millennia — we're failing to make this fundamental inquiry.
New from @notaaroncraig.bsky.social:
Trump has used the office of the presidency to make at least $1.4 billion

To reiterate: If they're really winding down occupations like the one in Minneapolis, and if they're really moving to a more "targeted" approach, then why the need for a dozen vast new prison camps and a rapidly growing military arsenal rivaling those of small nations?

I fear, like our deeply wounded democracy, we will not understand what we’ve lost until it’s gone and it will be hard if not impossible to get it back. I am open to meeting with or convening with anyone trying to work to preserve the free press that we have.
