There really was a golden period of web writing (pre socials) when you would get up every day and check Salon, Slate, Gawker, Jezebel, Pitchfork, Hipster runoff… maybe even Perez to remind you what never to be. RIP
This is so sad. I’m 54 years old and started reading Salon when I was in college. It was early proof that you could do great journalism on the web and (along with suck.com) made me think maybe I could make a living writing on the internet

I’m not joking when I say I’m more stunned about this than Talarico. Potential Democratic majorities in both chambers of the statehouse, sending bills to Gov. Gina Hinojosa
We're continuing to count the bodies at Texas Monthly: Democrats seem almost certain to take control of the Texas House, while Texas Senate control is in the air. Every statewide office and judicial race appears to have gone D. texasmonthly.com/news-politics/…

Dear fellow journalists, including TV news bookers, Substackers, and podcast producers:
When discussing and opining about the Latino vote––the second-largest voting bloc in the country; in Texas, 1 in 3 eligible voters are Latino––you MUST include Latinos in the conversation.
You cannot have a conversation about Latinos without a Latina or Latino––or both––at the table.
(P.S. I’m not Latino.)

It looks like every congressional district along the U.S.–Mexico border voted Democratic in this election, from San Diego to Brownsville. A remarkable political statement, especially considering how central the border has been to Donald Trump’s political rise. The very region he turned into a defining symbol of his political movement is now sending a very different message to the rest of the country.
