Big Journalism's abject capitulation to Musk, despite his loathing of their work and promotion of democracy's enemies, will not change unless he makes Twitter unusable.

Given the latest fail, perhaps practicality will prevail over honor.

But this would require work on the part of journalists and their employers. They may consider that to be an insurmountable barrier.

The situation in Florida - the authoritarian takeover of education, the escalating reactionary campaign to stifle, censor, and ban any dissent from the white nationalist worldview - is a proper democratic emergency.

So far, the response has been utterly inadequate.
