On JD Vance... 3/4

Something crazy happened to @micahloewinger.bsky.social this week while preparing the final episode of his deep dive investigation into FEMA.

Donald Trump’s FCC has been coming after the broadcast networks for their so-called political biases. @brookegladstone.bsky.social spoke with the conservative lawyer behind it all.

As much as you may be tired of hearing about how democracy is backsliding under Trump, according to @zackbeauchamp.bsky.social, the legibility of the threat to democracy is one of the more powerful tools we have.

Some excerpts from our latest episode, when @micahloewinger.bsky.social asked @jamellebouie.net about some of his mean posts on Bluesky: 1/4

For all of FEMA’s faults, and there are many, can we really afford to dramatically scale back the agency, especially with another potentially devastating hurricane season just around the corner? @micahloewinger.bsky.social investigates in a new four-part podcast series.

“If now forensics analysis is itself going to be doubted because we have these instances, this is now a new layer to the AI doubt,” said @mahsaalimardani.bsky.social of @witnessorg.bsky.social. “We are really going towards epistemic fracture in the information environment.”

@micahloewinger.bsky.social spoke with Flora Lichtman, host of the @scifri.bsky.social, all about FEMA — and how the far-right militia movement has used climate disasters to gain a recruiting foothold.

@zackbeauchamp.bsky.social got fed up with reporting on “democratic backsliding,” and decided to instead investigate “democratic resilience.” One thing he learned was about how anti-ICE resistance can be a blueprint for saving democracy.

“Just the fact that we are seeing this massive difference between June 2025 and March 2026 really speaks to the fact that this is a train going at full speed, and there isn't very many safety features on board,” said @mahsaalimardani.bsky.social of @witnessorg.bsky.social.

Yeah, the Sky are just connected on defense. Real tough to find gaps.

“In 2025, these data center protests successfully stalled over $100 billion worth of these facilities,” says journalist @karenhao.bsky.social. Hao adds that so many communities are able to mobilize because the issue “really does cut across political lines.”
