Is there anyone in the fediverse who hasn’t read this extraordinary story? Just in case, we’re posting it here. It’s about John Williams, a man who infiltrated right-wing militia, and then shared what he found exclusively with @ProPublica. “Williams turned on a recording device and dialed. [Retired detective Bobby] Kinch picked up after one ring: ‘What’s going on?’ he bellowed. ‘How you doing, man?’ ‘I don’t know if you remember me,’ Kinch continued, but they’d met years before … ‘Well I’m the sitting, current national director of the Oath Keepers now.’”

Texas has a dire shortage of social workers. @TexasObserver explores how the state is shooting itself in the foot by imposing a lifetime ban on candidates who’ve been convicted of certain crimes such as assault. The law came into place in 2019 and does not allow for rehabilitation or glowing recommendations — it’s one strike, and you’re out. James Knight and Daryl James spoke to Katherin Youniacutt, a grandmother and recovering alcoholic with more than 10 years of sobriety who is still being punished for a mistake she made in 2007.

Author Milan Kundera once said of his younger self, “This jerk that I was, I wouldn’t like to see him.” @KnowableMag dives into the psychology of self-continuity — the sense of being friendly towards and connected to our past selves — and how it can lead to better emotional health.

The decline of legacy media isn’t limited to the U.S. @thecontinent says so-called alternative media outlets accounted for as much as half of the most popular digital news consumption in Kenya. Most of these sites are focused on light content, with scant regard for ethics. Data consultant Norbert Mburu is concerned that political forces could co-opt these new media voices, leaving no one to hold politicians to account.
