The

Media Reaction to a Woman Murdered at Work Is ‘Nothing to See Here’
A male coworker allegedly bludgeoning Amber Czech to death has nothing to tell us, evidently, about broader trends or influences.

Easy to ask for money, hard to summarize the work we've done to earn your trust over the past year (never mind the seven before that). A thread that highlights some of the essays that took off since Trump was reelected.

Gift idea for someone who loves a good heist (even if it’s you): I really enjoyed THE PAYBACK by
@kashana.blacksky.app
. Loved the main character & the clever, mundanely dystopian premise, and found the writing sharp, funny, and stylish (in more ways than one - I learned about fashion!). Recommend!

This piece by
@rtraister.bsky.social
is like an antidote to snake venom. Read it and it will save your life. The backlash to “me too” was never about moderation it was about submission. Feminism has not gone too far. The world of men simply moves at the pace of a glacier from its Neanderthal past.

Prohibition was largely conceived as a nativist regime of laws meant to target & control the huge immigrant population of cities, served at places like Schulz's saloon at Montrose & Lincoln. By partnering with established, connected often Irish partners (like ex-cop Al Winge) they made a fortune.

The House is considering Trump's deadly budget bill. Millions could lose health insurance and food assistance. Working Americans will struggle to survive. All so billionaires can get a tax break. It's not too late. Call your representative and tell them to vote NO.

Awful: News orgs are credulously amplifying the ugly idea that sending troops into LA is good politics for Trump. This gives his lawless abuses of power the aura of conventional politics, obscuring how extraordinary and dangerous this moment truly is. 1/ (new piece)
