All signs point to the second Trump administration inciting a similar domino effect, where a filing spree brings longer delays and a corresponding turn to the courts. “One thing that you can be guaranteed, you’re going to see more requests being filed again, just as it was in 2017. There’s just no question,” said Leopold.
I won’t push the disingenuous notion that we all need to accept and empathize with synthetic victim-hoods and bigoted, outrageous rhetoric. However, an understanding must be achieved purely to combat an increasingly reactionary culture.
For many years, the Post has been celebrated as a pillar of courage. Now, it might be writing that exact doomsday script in its cowardly decision to break the paper’s long-standing precedent by failing to endorse a presidential candidate.
“In Venezuela, there are what we call information deserts,” Jonathan Gutierrez, the director of solutions journalism publication Historias Que Laten, told me — cities and regions “where there are no media outlets because they are either censored, shut down, or so closely monitored that what they produce is just content, rather than journalistic information."
