@futurebird@sauropods.win this is why I start every day with Jay Kuo’s The Status Kuo and with Heather Cox Richardson’s Letters from an American. They don’t just comment; they inform. I also rely a lot on non-profits like RAICES—the folks who provide lawyers to children caught up in our mass deportation machine—for detailed news as well as analysis of the issues I follow most closely. I’ve been seeking and winnowing alt news sources like it was my part time job since November of 2024.

@futurebird@sauropods.win local news is the hardest to follow, isn’t it? Even for those of us who have a locally owned and controlled newspaper. I confess, I get so much more news from social media—from that friend on the school board or who is a city manager two towns over—than from official news sources, which can be so blandly uninformative it’s impossible to figure out what’s going on. And joining a lobbying group is good—though you’d kind of wish you could be informed ahead of that… 🤷🏻♀️
