My @NYTmag story about the long-simmering transformation of state civil courts, where Americans remake their families, fight for their homes, and protect their livelihoods, and where 3 out of 4 cases involve someone without a lawyer nytimes.com/2025/04/17/magaz…

But I feel like if you listen to rap, especially from the young black rappers, it would be silly to think that the hedonism and bragging about money is a moral failure. It’s a deep understanding of American reality and what it means to be a have not. It’s proof of life.

It’s crazy that the new NYC subway cars only have 30 seats and the old ones have 80 and we are in any way supposed to consider this an improvement. Me must return…

In April, I went to Los Angeles to talk to Corbin (@spookyblack) about his new album, and what its like to be one of the most influential but lesser known artists of the last decade, for @RollingStone rollingstone.com/music/music…

This was a great piece! Full of insights about the Trumpian frame of mind and the self-owns of following its foibles into actual foreign policy.
I went to Greenland to try to think through one of the strangest aspects of Trump's second term: His love of the 19th century

The disparity has grown even further. New federal data shows that the United States now has: • 41,550 journalists • 280,590 public relations specialists For every reporter, there are now about seven PR people. (data via U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics)

“Since the day of the vote, some three hundred people have been killed amid mass protests that veered into destruction, most of them shot by the police.” —@rowanmg on the fallout in Mozambique after a falsified election go.nybooks.com/4hUi1uA

What should be made of large wave of protests repression after Mozambique's disputed election? Is the pressure finally forcing #Frelimo to moderate or is the opposition being co-opted splintered once again? My thoughts for @nybooks @NYRDaily

absolutely stoked to be teaming up with @JamesCTobias and Roque Planas on something brand new — a public lands/wildlife/govt-focused substack called Public Domain we'll have a hard launch next week, but Jimmy has a scoop that couldn't wait chrisdangelo.substack.com/p/…

Scoop: Tyler Hassen is an Ivy League graduate turned energy company CEO who is serving as DOGE's man at @Interior. He traveled to California recently to engineer a publicity stunt on behalf of the new administration.

The story of a young fisheries biologist at @USFWS who moved halfway across the country with his pregnant wife in order to work on behalf of the American public only to be unceremoniously fired by Elon Musk, Doug Burgum, etc:

This is a great initiative to step into the void left as papers decline to endorse...and, dare I say, more interesting to read a transcript than an editorial? nyeditorialboard.substack.co…

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in a court affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from Washington. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late.

Many other factors at play but I’ve long thought this is an under-examined consequence of the rise of charters/open enrollment districts
I dove deeper into the numbers of school car pickup lines. It is getting worse. Find analysis in next post.
