1. Well… an awful lot of milblogs suddenly went dark early in the Obama Administration. Never did hear what was going on with that, because all at once the milblog ecosystem wasn’t there anymore.
   And, I’ve noticed a lot of lack of activity on several not-Progressive, not-never-Trump blogs the past few months. People going dark, trying to hide their current activities? (I’m not sure when, exactly, the Biden Administration started, but it was clearly before the election.)
