We should be smart about how we communicate and conduct certain actions, but feels like "security culture" among activists is making us worse at it. Particularly insistence on anonymity when people who are relatively safe are doing public-facing, legal demonstrations.

They all think that if they confess that they believe in anything they’re violating their little fraternity's oath of objectivity. That entire standard is just made up! It's not real. www.welcometohellworld.com/youre-perfor...

There has never been such a thing as a completely neutral journalist but it's even more apparent today. And yet many of them still don't seem to realize it or refuse to admit it. And for what? What are they holding on to besides their professional stature? They all think that if they confess that they believe in anything they’re violating their little fraternity's oath of objectivity. That entire standard is just made up! It's not real. Journalists are like you can’t say Macbeth in the theatre and we’re all supposed to buy into their delusion.

I'd rather be a decent human being than a journalist in good standing but maybe that's just me.

I've always found the Chronicle's ever-neutral, bridging divides stance to be problematic. This strikes me as what happens when a news outlet won't take a stand.

“What I hear” is an odd way to counter the only data we have on what Tucsonans want. Did @timsteller.bsky.social talk to more than 358 people? If he doesn’t like the sample size, seems like more public engagement is the answer instead of man on the street divination.

In addition to being one of the best family restaurants in Tucson, La Indita prepares Indigenous foods and has hosted dinners for immigrant rights activists. It's a beloved pillar of the community and it's being targeted for that reason.

“I’ve always been very, very lightly edited on the column. And that stopped being the case. The editing became extremely intrusive. It was very much toning down of my voice, toning down of the feel, and a lot of pressure for what I considered false equivalence" and attempts “to dictate the subject.”

When I was 8 my parents went to see Blue Velvet and came home and said it was about a guy who finds a human ear in a field and they didn't like it because it was "seedy." Years later I got my first job at blockbuster and watched every David Lynch movie they had starting with Blue Velvet.
