A terrorist targeted federal workers last week. There wasn’t much reporting on it. But I’m not finished thinking about it! 🧵 An anti-vaxxer fired more than 500 gunshots into CDC Atlanta, shattering 150 “blast-proof” windows on 6 buildings. Employees were pinned down in terror.

Please watch THIS particular interview, shared by @prisonculture.bsky.social to get the play by play on what happened. Getting arrested for protesting is a king move, but that's not what happened here. This was a goddamned grab and sack. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUjf...

I've quoted this passage from Trump -- where he states his intent to cause riots and US economic collapse -- so many times. He flat-out announced it on Fox News in February 2014. In my book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT I quote my own 2016 essay warning of his plan: www.hidinginplainsightbook.com

Hmm. There's a ton of wonderful big reporting rn by nonprofit & indy media — all the States Newsrooms, ProPublica, Texas Trib, Fort Worth Report, Montana Free Press, The Appeal... Bolts! It'd be great to read & share the newsrooms that do this, rather than the quite vague hand-wringing.

New: Trump won the popular vote narrowly. But in news deserts—counties where there are no local news sources or reporters —he won in a landslide. Latest by me and @volk_maps for Medill School’s Local News Initiative. localnewsinitiative.northwestern.edu/posts/2024/1...
