We are hurtling back into a Soviet abyss, into an information vacuum that spells death from our own ignorance. All we have left is the internet, where information is still freely available. For the rest, if you want to go on working as a journalist, it's total servility to Putin.

Unreason is now ascendant in the United States - in our schools, in our courts, and in each branch of the federal government.
