“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

I run a Black & brown media network. I beg we not throw out coalitions and much-needed umbrella orgs in the face of white supremacy. Identities are complex, overlapping. We must confront anti-Blackness within, and I vow to keep on. But I cling to belief we need each other.

By deciding not to editorialize, @washingtonpost and @latimes are violating rule 1 of Timothy Snyder's warnings "On Tyranny."
1.
Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.

Miami-Dade moving closer to securing federal funds for a commuter rail on Brightline tracks. FTA gave green light for $389M toward $927M project. Would need congressional approval — likely in early 2025.

Forget Democracy Dies In Darkness. Democracy actually dies when economic elites (billionaires) control the press and means of communication. From the LA Times to Las Vegas Review-Journal to WaPo and X.
Support independent, small to medium-scale, locally based media outlets.

BREAKING: United Teachers of Dade will remain the union representing teachers in Miami Dade schools. They received 83% of the vote among teachers in the district. The election was called after a conservative group came in and tried to decertify the union. @CBSMiami

Between 2017 and July of 2024 Miami's "Affordable Housing Trust Fund" collected over $6 million from developers.
Only about a quarter of it went to development. Much of it went directly to city staffers.
The city will not release full financial reports.

An Elon Musk-funded PAC is microtargeting Muslim people in Michigan and Jewish people in Pennsylvania with opposite messaging about Kamala Harris using ZIP code targeting, according to data I pulled from Snapchat. Few things from this investigation:
