Jack Ohman wrote a letter to the editor:
To The Editor:
The rather curious decision by The New York Times to ban all editorial cartoons based on their own lack of editorial judgment seems, well, cartoonish. As the recipient of the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning, one would think that the Times would be a vital force in protecting this lovely art form. Instead it’s destroying editorial cartooning itself. This is a cartoon I don’t get.
And no, I am not canceling long-held my print and digital subscription to the Times, either. I think they are as critical to journalism as editorial cartooning is. I wish the Times felt the same way.

Jack adds a little postscript for the rest of us:
Oh, well. they probably won’t run a letter from a cartoonist, either.

Teenage neo-Nazis jailed over terror offences

Two teenage neo-Nazis, who encouraged an attack on Prince Harry for marrying a woman of mixed race, have been jailed for terrorism offences.
Michal Szewczuk, 19, from Leeds, and Oskar Dunn-Koczorowski, 18, from west London, were part of a group called the Sonnenkrieg Division.
An Old Bailey judge said their online propaganda was abhorrent and criminal.
Dunn-Koczorowski was given an 18-month detention and training order. Szewczuk was jailed for just over four years.
The defendants, who appeared by video link from HMP Belmarsh, in south-east London, did not react.
The court heard the teenagers used pseudonyms to run personal accounts on the Gab social media site, as well as sharing control of the Sonnenkrieg Division's own page, on which they posted self-designed propaganda that encouraged terrorist attacks.
Among other things, the imagery suggested the Duke of Sussex was a "race traitor" who should be shot, glorified the Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik, and said white women who date non-white men should be hanged.
The material was "uniformly violent and threatening" and "the nature of the violence includes rape and execution", Judge Rebecca Poulet QC said.
Suggested targets included non-white and Jewish people, and the effect was to overtly encourage lone acts of violence against members of the public, the judge added.
She said the men had promoted both Sonnenkrieg and the American Atomwaffen Division, which were extreme right-wing groups inspired by a book called Siege written by the veteran American neo-Nazi James Mason in the 1980s.

Security Threat

Josh Marshall

According to the Times, the Pentagon’s cybercommand is taking newly aggressive steps to inject cyberweapons into Russian critical infrastructure. But they are withholding this information from the President because among other reasons they consider him a security threatand they fear he might countermand the orders or share the information with Russian officials.
