Anti-Trump Encampment Returns to Union Station After Bizarre Permit Revocation Saga

Andrew Beaujon @abeaujon.bsky.social · 1d

Well, this is odd. The anti-Trump FLARE encampment is back at Union Station after NPS and USPP cleared it earlier this month. They somehow received a permit during the shutdown.

I'm a bit of a homer, but I appreciate that about both of them. Style has a tradition of good criticism. I hope it continues!

Rick "basically unlocked a different kind of thinking for me from a very young age," @benmullin.bsky.social told Kristen, and that's so true. I was so grateful that he always made time for me and any journalist who wanted to understand the business of news better. RIP to an absolute legend.

Rick Edmonds chronicled the media business with savvy, care and wit - Poynter

Andrew Beaujon @abeaujon.bsky.social · 5d

It's taken me a couple of days to process the death of Rick Edmonds, who I was lucky enough to work with at Poynter. Rick was a tremendous human and a superb colleague. Kristen Hare gets at what made him so special in this obituary.

The veteran journalist died at 78 on Sunday
