The idea for this newsroom grew out of heartbreak — our collective astonishment, in 2016, to learn that this nation still could not, would not, elect a woman president. 8 years later, history has repeated itself. Read my note to our @19thnews community. 19thnews.org/2024/11/second…

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Calgary stopped adding fluoride to its water in 2011. What happened? "The need for intravenous antibiotic therapy by children to avoid death by infection rose 700% at the Alberta Children’s Hospital." - Dr. James Dickinson @ University of Calgary calgary.ctvnews.ca/calgary-s-plan…

I run a Black & brown media network. I beg we not throw out coalitions and much-needed umbrella orgs in the face of white supremacy. Identities are complex, overlapping. We must confront anti-Blackness within, and I vow to keep on. But I cling to belief we need each other.

1. I've found a large, AI-driven bot network on X which is posting in support of Trump in the US election. Thread.

Big news for #PublicTransportation in Miami-Dade!

📰NEWS: The Biden-Harris Administration announced $389 million to expand Metrorail to Wynwood, North Miami, and Aventura. I’m proud to have helped secured this funding and worked with Miami-Dade and federal officials to bring us closer to making the Northeast Corridor a reality.

@joeflech @MiamiHerald @GlobeSpotlight @BostonGlobe Gonna miss your work a ton. Congrats on the new gig!

🗞️Some personal news: After 11 years at the mighty @MiamiHerald, I am leaving to join @GlobeSpotlight at the @BostonGlobe. I'm thrilled for this next adventure and looking forward to joining one of the most storied and fearless investigative teams in U.S. journalism.

By deciding not to editorialize, @washingtonpost and @latimes are violating rule 1 of Timothy Snyder's warnings "On Tyranny." 1. Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.

Miami-Dade moving closer to securing federal funds for a commuter rail on Brightline tracks. FTA gave green light for $389M toward $927M project. Would need congressional approval — likely in early 2025.

Forget Democracy Dies In Darkness. Democracy actually dies when economic elites (billionaires) control the press and means of communication. From the LA Times to Las Vegas Review-Journal to WaPo and X. Support independent, small to medium-scale, locally based media outlets.
