Black, Jr. saying in response to something complimentary I'd said about the NYT, "The New York Times is a thin reed," not an institution to be relied on to stand up to power or injustice. So true, so often. https://bsky.app/profile/mfroomkin.bsky.social/post/3mtcaejem3c2r

“I was asked not to mention the Times at all. I’m choosing not to honor that norm, b/c silence abt how accountability journalism gets suppressed is itself a form of suppression.” Read the back story of how @nytimes.com and @thebulwark.com killed @adambonica.bsky.social’s piece. What a mf badass.

WELKER: Do democratic socialists belong in the Dem Party? JEFFRIES: What I can say is I do not support defunding the police, I do not support open borders, I do not support abolishing the Senate. We're focused on actually solving the problems hard-working American taxpayer want us to solve ...

Miami is, let's just say, not rich in biking and walking trails. So we're grateful for The Underline, the 10-mile linear park nearing completion. This is a segment from Riviera Dr to Granada Blvd, not officially open but pretty much finished and lovely.
