Robby knows less about government than Elon Musk, and refuses to invest any effort into finding out - don't make him do a journalism! - so he is going to go with his gut here.

Hey, do you do podcasts? Because @kolacinski.bsky.social and I have just started one and we'd love to have you on as a guest. We're ranting and raving about fascism and you can rant and rave too. No editing - just ranting. What do you say?

Serious Q - who are the good ppl there now? I’m not seeing it

cingraham.bsky.social•3 days ago

CJ Ciaramella does phenomenal criminal justice reporting and Elizabeth Nolan-Brown is great on tech policy and sex work. I believe there are others doing similarly good work
