NEW: Facebook executives told employees Thursday that the social network isn’t a “root cause” of US polarization.

One researcher even argued that some polarization is good, actually, because it led to the civil rights movement.

buzzfeednews.com/article/ryanma…
Facebook created a “playbook” that Chief Product Officer Chris Cox said would “equip all of you to go home and have dinner” with friends and family and explain why public perceptions of Facebook are wrong.
While denying that Facebook meaningfully contributes to polarization, a Facebook research scientist also suggested political polarization could be a good thing.

What day did the pandemic start to feel real? For many in the US, it was a year ago today: March 11, 2020.

We talked to more than 60 people — from Anthony Fauci to Chet Hanks — about what it was like on the day COVID swallowed everything. buzzfeednews.com/article/buzzfe…
If that whirlwind day is a blur for you, here's a reminder of just *some* of what went down on the day the pandemic consumed life as we know it 👇

NEW ROCHELLE, NEW YORK

In New Rochelle, just north of New York City, residents wake up on Wednesday, March 11, 2020, in the first COVID-19 “containment zone” in the US. Nationally, the coronavirus is known to have killed 31 people and infected just over 1,000. A firefighter wearing personal protective equipment prepares

We want to know – and we want you to know – the complete story of what happened in the days leading up to the Jan. 6 insurrection.

So we’re suing the US government for records — again.

beta.documentcloud.org/documents/2049…
We’ve filed five FOIA lawsuits against the DHS, the Department of Justice, FBI, the Department of Defense, National Guard Bureau, the US Army, the Department of Interior, the National Park Service, and the Federal Aviation Administration seeking a wide-range of records.
These records will reveal what officials at these agencies knew in the days leading up to the insurrection, what took place behind the scenes at the highest levels of government, and how officials responded when rioters breached the Capitol.

Members of the far-right group Oath Keepers are accused of helping to coordinate the deadly Capitol insurrection. They were urged to rally that day by their charismatic leader, a man who has put his group at the center of numerous high-stakes conflicts. buzzfeednews.com/article/jessic…
Elmer Stewart Rhodes III, a former Army paratrooper and Yale law graduate (disbarred), founded the Oath Keepers as a non-partisan group of current and former military, police and first responders who pledge to “fulfill the oath” of defending the Constitution.
But the Department of Justice, which alleges Oath Keepers members played a key role in the insurrection, calls it “a large but loosely organized collection of militia who believe that the federal government ... is trying to strip American citizens of their rights.”

The Texas snowstorm saw millions of people without water, heat, or electricity. But for many people living in colonias in South Texas, it was how they always lived due to existing government neglect.

buzzfeednews.com/article/adolfo…
For Nohemí, a mother of seven, the snowstorm was a race to keep her 16-year-old daughter who has achalasia — a condition that closes off the esophagus from the stomach and requires a machine to get food into her body — alive.
Many who live in the colonias were part of the wave of immigration that took place in the 90s and 00s and for years, most, if not all, lacked sewer systems, electricity, sidewalks, and paved roads.
