Last week, we asked #NewstodonFriday readers if anyone else felt sick at the thought of the U.S. election, and here we are. Not much levity in this week’s thread, but rather stories on the state of journalism and media, how different outlets plan to tackle the Trump administration, and even one about how political polarization can literally make you sick. We’ve sprinkled a little lighter fare in there, including a beautiful Tiny Desk concert from Meshell Ndegeocello (close your eyes and scroll to the bottom if you can’t bear to read any news). Please check out the stories, follow the publications, click on the stories, subscribe, donate and otherwise support if you can. Independent media matters now, more than ever.

Here, co-founders @jasonkoebler, @emanuelmaiberg, Samantha Cole and @josephcox explain why their work is still valuable.

Why the Work Still Matters

When Donald Trump won in 2016, we weren't sure if good journalism mattered anymore. Now, we're more sure than ever it does.

A little bit of Democrat joy from @bolts as they report on Monique Worrell, the state attorney who was ousted by Ron DeSantis last year, and beat her replacement, Federalist Society member Andrew Bain, to win her job back.

Orlando Prosecutor Ousted by Governor Wins Her Job Back - Bolts

Monique Worrell defeated the prosecutor Ron DeSantis appointed to replace her last year. In Tampa, however, another prosecutor removed by the governor lost his attempt at a comeback.

Political polarization is making us sick, according to new research from a team at New York University. @thetyee’s Crawford Kilian writes about how COVID-19 epitomizes this and whether there’s a possibility of repair.

Humans spend a lot of time moving in crowds. Matthew R. Francis and Maki Naro collaborate on this comic for @KnowableMag, which demonstrates how tools from fluid dynamics can help model crowd behavior and smooth the flow of crowds, potentially making us safer.

People in Ukraine are worried about how Trump’s victory might affect them. The team at @timkmak’s Counter Offensive talked to people on the ground about their concerns. “If we get discouraged because an election has taken place in another country and we don't like the president elected, we will never have independence and autonomy,” says 21-year-old Yelyzaveta Kanievska.

The street-level view from Kyiv on Trump's election

We went back to old sources and new friends in Ukraine to get a readout on how they're responding to the seismic news that Trump will be returning to the White House.

Last year, the Indian government announced they had found a huge reserve of lithium in Kashmir. Now, @restofworld reports that extraction plans have been halted as industry experts say government info on the land is “misleading and quite inadequate.”

India’s lithium mining plans in Kashmir halted due to lack of bidders, expert warnings - Rest of World

India’s first lithium discovery positions it as the holder of the world’s fifth-largest reserve, but experts say optimism around the discovery was overblown.

Nearly two million Massachusetts residents are food insecure, and that’s been exacerbated by rising prices and the end of pandemic measures. @gbhnews reports on a new group, the Make Hunger History Coalition, which aims to solve the problem of hunger, not just through food donations and charity but by addressing the underlying issues that cause it.
