organizing crowdsourced information about the Capitol attack
Cross-posting breaking news here but redirecting to a Twitter thread. "Two days after the two-year anniversary of the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, a scary analogue is unfolding in Brazil, where massed crowds are invading Congress. The US and Brazilian anti-democratic movements are linked and both have ties to Steve Bannon. 1/"

Dan GillmorAs the DeSantis regime eviscerates freedom of speech in Florida's university system, timid journalists use the anodyne word "conservative" to describe him and his apparatchiks. Refusing to call the extremists what they truly are is poor journalism. https://www.heraldtribune.com/story/news/politics/2023/01/06/gov-ron-desantis-wants-conservative-overhaul-at-new-college-of-florida/69784941007/
For those awaiting the release of the Jan 6 Committe report, a caution - it will likely be incomplete, especially on the physical attack - and links to resources that are good for comparing. See Twitter thread:

“As everyone waits for the J6C report, a caution: it will likely not be complete on the physical attack or those who promoted & ran it. As a guide, we've now numbered the breaches: 22 total. 18 had Proud Boys involved. Note how tightly they're grouped, & marked by signals. 1/”
Gwen Snyder is uncivilSuper-sharp read on what's going on with Musk at Twitter, from one of the journalists he banned
I don't think journalists (in general) -- and certainly not the organizations they work for -- fully understand the threat Musk represents to the future of free expression and journalism itself.
Begging him to reinstate the banned accounts is pure folly. It is bended-knee supplication to a sociopath who now controls a powerful media company. But the power of his company depends in no small degree on keeping journalists there.
Leave. Now.
