Today, at the Bulwark, I covered the die off of open government organizations.

These orgs are essential for democracy. They identify waste, fraud, abuse, and malfeasance. They also provide insight into whether policies are working as intended--and allow for course corrections.

Open-Government Nonprofits Are Dying Off Just When They’re Needed Most

Got a bit of a late start on my holiday decorating this year, but I stayed up late last night to finish my holiday “giving wreath” so neighbors, delivery folks, and contractors in the building can have a little treat as they pass by. Took me about two and a half hours to glue all the chocolates on 😅

#NC is politically divided (unaffiliated is the biggest) but the "purple state" national idea is wrong, implies blending or balance. North Carolina Republicans dominate governance, as a single day's news shows. Legislative races are where people can have a say, along with governorship (weakened by GOP over eight years) and statewide offices, but fewer local #journalists are covering — and it's hard to get people's attention with all eyes on presidency.

What's most fascinating to me about the discourse around the #NABJ Trump interview is how many people think Scott's opening question was "hostile". It really reflects the reality of so many #BIPOC folks-- where literally just saying that someone has done something racist (especially in the workplace), even just repeating back their own racist words/ actions, (no matter *what* tone you use) gets you labeled "hostile" or "aggressive" or "angry". Saying the question was "hostile" speaks volumes.

#Maryland Is on Track to Process a Nearly 50-Year-Old Backlog of Rape Kits
==

One of the country’s oldest backlogs of untested rape kits is on track to be processed by the end of the year, after new laws in Maryland put more than 1,400 cases dating back to 1977 on an expedited timetable.

Maryland Is on Track to Process a Nearly 50-Year-Old Backlog of Rape Kits

A new law extends the state’s sexual assault evidence protections to cover DNA samples. But getting justice in hundreds of cold cases will require more than just testing, survivors say.
