Logos, owners, the epic 2015 matchup — it’s all fair game for Jesse Singal for @globeopinion.bsky.social and Alex Fryer for @seattletimes.com.

ICYMI: For @globeopinion.bsky.social, I make the argument that public officials ought to leave X. In the piece I ask the New England governors, U.S. senators, congresspeople, and others who remain active there, "what would it take for you to finally delete your account?"

"On Thursday morning, the Post’s website hosted a story about the bloodletting — written by an Associated Press reporter. For this once-great media organization, the retreat from the news couldn’t be signaled any clearer." — Jill Abramson @globeopinion.bsky.social www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/05/o...

New this morning: for @globeopinion.bsky.social, I argue that it's long past time for public officials to leave "X." The essay will run in print in Sunday's "Ideas" section.

The First Amendment gives journalists wide protection to report on newsworthy events to keep the public informed. "But some of Lemon’s reporting techniques gave me pause," Jill Abramson writes.

I cannot remember a time when a proposed initiative has been the subject of such intense and widespread freakout *before* it actually qualified for the ballot. My latest for @globeopinion.bsky.social www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/02/o...

Editorial: The problem is that the department’s reluctance to reach findings of police wrongdoing is the reason why an independent investigatory agency like OPAT was created in the first place.

In order to defeat the white nationalism that is at the core of the assault on American democracy, we have to see it and treat it as what it is, @kimberlyeatkins.bsky.social writes. And that requires all of us to let go of the lies about American exceptionalism that we’ve been fed all our lives.

“Expression is not, in itself, a political achievement,” Siddhu Pachipala writes in #GlobeIdeas.

“Sometimes we get a little bit ahead of ourselves when it comes to how much power Trump ultimately has,” @abdallahfayyad.bsky.social says on #SayMore. “And we forget that even in the most repressive regimes, even in the most corrupt dictatorships, mass movements can stem the bleeding.”

“I’m not sure the court will readily adopt a firing-via-Truth Social rule for for-cause removals of independent boards,” @kimberlyeatkins.bsky.social writes. Read #TheGavel:

On Saturday, I received a text from my nephew: “They are across from my apartment complex.” He didn’t need to explain who “they” referred to. He lives in Minneapolis. My latest @globeopinion.bsky.social column.

“Why put up a sign that provides the driver with nothing they need to know?” Alan Wirzbicki writes. Read #AreWeThereYet:

Ordinarily, when a federal agent shoots a civilian, the investigative protocol is clear: a joint state and federal criminal investigation is launched, Deborah Ramirez writes. This is a remarkable and disturbing departure from customary law enforcement cooperation.

The court is more likely than not to rule that Trump’s tariff gambit exceeds his authority. But the longer we wait for a ruling, the less confident columnist @kimberlyeatkins.bsky.social is in that prediction. Read #TheGavel:

Can a jury see Lindsay Clancy as “someone who got sick” and not as a cold-blooded killer of three helpless little children? Views on mental health and the challenges of motherhood will play a role in the jury’s ultimate verdict, Joan Vennochi writes.

Trump continues to be the nation's worst legal client by bullying Jerome Powell just days before the Supreme Court considers if he has the power to fire members of the Federal Reserve Board - a case Trump could very well lose My @globeopinion.bsky.social column: www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/13/o...

“For many Americans, this is an internal issue,” Freddy Guevara says on #SayMore. “But I have to say that for Venezuelans, this is a matter of survival.”

Why do people who watch the same footage of Renee Good's death arrive at diametrically opposed conclusions about what that footage shows? Why does new footage, if anything, tend to polarize people more? My latest for @bostonglobe.com / @globeopinion.bsky.social explains.

“I’ve never met a comedian half as funny as at least five people I knew growing up in Dorchester,” Dennis Lehane says on #SayMore.

Let’s not spoil a Cinderella season with unpleasant topics like alleged violence against women, Joan Vennochi writes. Can the New England Patriots stay focused on football, and can two of the team’s players who face assault charges continue playing?

Five years ago, the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection that Trump incited wasn’t a failure. It was an unfinished coup that Trump has spent his second term bringing to chaotic fruition. My latest @globeopinion.bsky.social column.

How do you respond when your archenemy does something that almost everyone agrees was good, but in a way that could turn very messy very fast? Welcome to the Democrats’ dilemma regarding Nicolás Maduro, Noah Rothman writes.

Trump’s second term is a presidency of the grotesque in which lawlessness, corruption, and vengeance are wielded not just as policy but as a birthright, @rygraham.bsky.social writes.

“Sometimes doing nothing is the riskiest option. Trying and failing may be less risky, and I think we need to create that capacity for action," Ranjay Gulati says on #SayMore.

It wasn’t all Trump enragement syndrome in the #GlobeLetters inbox this year. Readers also had things to say about AI actors, Karen (who’s that again?) Read, and gun violence. Read on, and pass the antianxiety medication.

From horror movies to Oscar bait, from superhero stories to quirky detective dramas, there was no role more important — and no job easier to mess up — than fatherhood, Alyssa Rosenberg writes.

Who needs real Christmas trees when tax break-loving tech billionaires need massive AI data centers to overtake communities, tax environmental resources, and gobble up jobs? Welcome to the Republican war on Christmas, writes @rygraham.bsky.social.

Before Brian Walshe was found guilty on Monday of murdering his wife, he had the best defense money could buy — and Massachusetts taxpayers will be picking up the tab, writes Joan Vennochi.

“The horrors of American gun violence are so banal that even the observation that they’re banal is boring, and it has been for years,” writes @aaronregunberg.bsky.social.

The Trump administration isn’t just cracking down on illegal immigration; it’s also attacking legal immigration by undermining the process, writes @abdallahfayyad.bsky.social.

Editorial: Gerrymandering battles produce no real winners, only a loss for democracy. And the court’s ruling will only cause the already escalating redistricting race to the bottom to get worse.

Editorial: Even if you accept Trump’s rationale for the murder of shipwrecked sailors in the Caribbean, it follows that if this is a war, then the military’s actions must obey the laws of war.

The Supreme Court has not yet issued its ruling on whether President Trump’s emergency tariffs regime is legal or constitutional. But some companies want their money back now, @kimberlyeatkins.bsky.social writes in #TheGavel.
