U.S. local newspapers are dying at a rate of 2 per week. By 2025, a third of them will be gone. If you’re not convinced that’s a doomsday-level threat to democracy, read this state-by-state list of what local reporters uncovered in 2022. It’s a sample of what we stand to lose.

This new NYT investigation documents war crimes committed by the Russian 234th Air Assault Regiment in Bucha, Kyiv, Ukraine. Thank you for consulting me with this important and thoroughly researched piece, @ckoettl! May it help the perpetrators be brought to justice.

Every once in a while, I'll see a photograph on Facebook that takes my breath away...this is one such image! I'm sorry, but I cannot find any information on who took the photo of these JMSDF P-3 Orions, but they have a perfect eye and great timing! 🇯🇵

Strange, it had no problem staying alive before some clown bought it for $44m, fired most of the staff, brought back people banned for violating TOS under the pretense of "free speech", then proceed to tweet changes to the TOS and ban people for retroactively breaking them. 🤷‍♂️

Brilliant photo — thank you! In 1966 I rang my dad from the box on the left to tell him how my BBC job interview had gone. ‘I think I might have got it,’ I told him. 56 years later I always remember that call as I go to work at the BBC right opposite.

Detailed testimony about Ukr adherence to laws of war by a Ru POW, given after his release, to a Ru journalist who obviously wants to hear the opposite. Pretty strong evidence that this is an accurate picture. Should be noted by those who believe "both sides" are bad during war.

Maybe I'm biased, but I like to think I'm a rational Canadian in that while I disagree with Trudeau's C11 and C21 (guns and internet), but somehow also don't think I'm living in a fascist regime where I have no rights left at all. 🤷‍♂️

Reflect Now live on @SuperRare – It is a unique photograph for me because it encapsulates the moment when everything aligns, and for an instant, it feels like time stands still. Rare moments leave you speechless and connect you to the present moment.

I've written about Poilievre's attacks on women in journalism. "While Poilievre accuses Gilmore of demanding the leadership candidate 'answer for all the words and deeds' of everyone, he is proving to Canadians that he’s unwilling to answer for his own." rabble.ca/labour/poiliev…

It will be difficult for the kremlin to take an official position on whether the fact that Kanye West declared himself a supporter of both Hitler and Putin is russophobia or russophilia.

PM Sanna Marin is bang on here, and with the political climate in the US being so unstable, EU can't put all their eggs in that basket. Canada needs to wake up too, and realize the non-stop downsizing of the military by every party needs to be reversed. bbc.com/news/world-eur…

When teachers strike the focus is how it's bad for students. When nurses strike the focus is how it's bad for patients. When railroad workers strike the focus is how it's bad for the economy. So who's left out, every time? Workers.
