this story (https://www.salon.com/2018/01/27/defeat-is-inevitable-everybody-knows-it-even-trump/) about the last days of Watergate is old, but I still think about this passage a lot — especially now. it’s so exquisitely written that I’ve remembered it for years.

newspaper endorsements don’t matter much to the electorate anymore, but they ARE a matter of principle … or, in this case, a lack thereof.

their front page for 8/30 is texts sent and received by students during the active shooter lockdown. absolutely stunning.
