The ever clear-eyed and clear-writing Rebecca Solnit reminds us that we need to read closely and carefully to find the facts these days, to wade through the innuendo and muddy writing of mainstream reporting. She uses the Smithsonian issue and the reporting on the communication failures during the recent Texas floods as examples.

It’s free to subscribe to her newsletter (highly recommended), but it would be nice if you could be a paying member to support her.

The Democratic Party needs to embrace this, now, or we’re all lost: “It’s not just Mamdani in New York. Progressives are winning elections across America with a mix of bread-and-butter proposals to help average people better cope with the costs of living and a message of hope that such proposals can be enacted and will work.” ✊
