The spotlight on the Trump administration's draconian immigration crackdown moved at least briefly today away from the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, as the White House rejoiced in the arrest of gay journalist Don Lemon. "When life gives you lemons," the administration posted on social media early this morning, along with an emoji of chains. Lemon was arrested under an 1871 law originally designed to combat the Ku Klux Klan and a 1994 law meant to keep protestors from. Blocking access to churches.

The Washington Post Disaster is an Indictment of Both Publishers and Society

The shocking diminishment of The Washington Post, which has just announced it is cutting a third of its staff, is not just another story of a great paper succumbing to algorithms, social media, and the march to idiocracy. In their zeal to be seen as fair and evenhanded, journalists tend to accept the common criticism that they failed to adapt that, basically, they didn't produce enough viral TikTok videos. There's some truth to that, but the main problem lies elsewhere.
