A cop slapped a handcuffed man dying of a drug overdose. Called him a “bitch.” Shoved a baton in his mouth. That cop got suspended 6 days. But the cop who revealed the cruelty was expelled from the cop union. Now faces 20 years prison for whistleblowing. usatoday.com/story/news/inve…

Media have made Florida’s DeSantis a bete noire on Covid. So how do they cover his state’s sharp decline in Covid cases? They don’t. wsj.com/articles/media-ignor…

Long thread, but important: John Deere workers have reached out to me frustrated about media repeating company talking points that workers make 60-70k a year. One who's been there over a decade showed me what they made in 2020: Under $40k. So let’s talk about wages at John Deere.
