there is a human being who works at the NYT and the Washington Post who makes these choices. The same human being who covered the front pages in a drumbeat of "Biden's mental fitness" coverage after the first debate. Who are they? What is their motivation? Why do they act in this way? Who benefits?
"In a previous era, Jack Smith’s newly unsealed brief would generate Watergate-level coverage. These days, though, the new details about Trump's frantic efforts to steal the election had already rolled off the top of the NYT and Washington Post homepages by Thursday morning."
In a sane world it would be Watergate-level news.

A school district in Pennsylvania approved nearly $9,000 ‘to cut windows into the ‘gender-identity’ student bathrooms so passerby can look inside’
These adults want to make it easier for other people to watch your children while they’re in the bathroom. It’s absolutely mind-boggling.
Resharing this @whstancil.bsky.social post from Twitter bc it's exactly right. We treat it as normal because the people whose job it is to warn of us things have decided it's normal
