Report on decline — precipitous, nationwide and as @AlecMacGillis says, brutal — of local newspapers since Great Recession. By @keachhagey @lalpert1 & @iarynam. This has major political implications.
With fewer sources of news about their own neighborhoods, towns & states, Americans are forced to turn to online faux-communities, sorting themselves by ideology or interest instead of geography. As @JamesFallows was observing yesterday, this can leave people in Indianapolis...
...oblivious as to events in Muncie, barely an hour away. It can also strengthen partisan or other identities, as real-world local communities become less real to the people living in them. Finally, the decline in the number of reporters on the ground makes it easier...

Thread (and column by @yayitsrob) via @leahstokes — a skeptical take on @JayInslee’s climate plan, or the first component of it anyway. Points well taken, mostly. I don’t dock Inslee any for proposing ideas open to question.
.@JayInslee is running on treating climate change as an emergency. The first iteration of his plan does that. It has kludgey elements, frankly, that would be the long way around the bush even if implemented perfectly. The direct way? A carbon tax.
A carbon tax would also be the smaller-government path: raise the price of emissions, then let people & businesses figure out how to cut their costs by cutting emissions. But a direct, visible tax would be unpopular, compared to standards & subsidies and other kludges.

This from @SykesCharlie is more about Attorney General Barr’s history than it is about what happened in the Senate Judiciary Committee today or the crisis at the core of the federal government. But the history should be instructive. [Thread]
2. From Barr’s role as GHW Bush’s Attorney General, Iran-Contra Special Counsel Lawrence Walsh took away this lesson: “...powerful people with powerful allies can commit serious crimes in high office, deliberately abusing the public trust without consequences.”
3. So here we are again with Barr attempting to disrupt investigations of much greater moment than those he fought on behalf of the elder Bush. As @SykesCharlie argues, Barr is flying his colors here: he is the Trump Attorney General, not the United States Attorney General.

🔴 #THREAD démontrant factuellement l'implication DIRECTE d'@imamette dans le #dox et les dénonciations #calomnieuses et #dangereuses contre @Khaltibessara

Préambule :
- exposé de FAITS BRUTS, PUBLICS, VÉRIFIABLES sans subjectivité
- prière de lire jusqu'à la fin avant de réagir
Préambule (suite) :
- merci aussi de ne pas extraire de tweets du contexte de ce fil, notamment par des captures vicieuses (tradition de certains alors que je ne bloque personne)
- dénoncer les manipulations et mensonges d'une protagoniste n'a jamais impliqué de soutenir l'autre
Préambule (fin) :
- j'avais moi-même dénoncé @Khaltibessara lors de son tweet-clash contre @benj_808 (qui a retourné sa veste depuis, c'est son affaire)
- ici ça n'est plus un "simple dox de plus", mais une escalade dangereuse dans ses méthodes, sa manipulation et sa malveillance

#BarrHearing

Bill Barr just told @RepEdCase that it is Mueller's team making calls on Grand Jury redactions
AND
Consistent with my reading of his letter - that OTHER PROSECUTORS WITH ONGOING CASES would say if anything needed redacting to save their cases
#BarrHearing - and Barr also told @RepEdCase that the US intelligence community is making the intelligence-related redactions

NOT HIMSELF
He said "IM NOT DOING THE REDACTIONS" - and nobody is even listening (except me) #MuellerReport
#BarrHearing : said he will give the full report to Schiff, he also said he will look at any requests from Nadler. He said he would not ask a judge to unredact Grand Jury materials that MUELLER and OTHER PROSECUTORS are saying need redacting. Bill Barr not making those calls

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

#Thread sur la publication open source de "La transition énergétique en échec, analyse et perspectives" par des retraités du CEA (Commissariat à l’énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives)
Via @grunblatt

“Plus inquiétant encore, sur les quatre dernières années, nous constatons une croissance des émissions de gaz carbonique, principal responsable du réchauffement climatique, de la consommation d’énergie finale, et de la combustion de combustibles fossiles (charbon, gaz, [etc.]).”
“Ce bilan est une occasion de s’interroger sur la pertinence de la politique du pays et des objectifs de la LTECV []. Une idéologie fermée, adepte de la décroissance et résolument antinucléaire, doit-elle continuer à dominer ?”

Kavanaugh and the Information Terrorists Trying to Reshape America wired.com/story/informat…
Dr. Ford received death threats over email and social media.

Among those cheering on the hate-trollers were Roger Stone, Mike Cernovich, Jack Posobiec, Cassandra Fairbanks, and conspiracist-in-chief, Alex Jones.
Since day one of DT's candidacy the focus has been on botnets & sockpuppets.

This overshadows the cadre of people who INITIATE & coordinate the flow of info & how their narratives, built over time, influence how we see politics, ourselves, and the world around us.
