I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

This is a disgusting act. The report must be reposted.

This Transgender Awareness Week, we come together to celebrate the resilience and bravery of the transgender community in the face of relentless attacks.

My message to you is simple:

I am with you. I love you. I will never stop fighting for you.

No wrongdoing, no embarrassment.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

you don't have to embarrass our guest by asking if he had someone killed and hacked to pieces

Calling the ABC reporter’s question “insubordinate” explains everything about how Trump sees press freedom.
Q: Why wait for Congress to release the Epstein files? Why not just do it now?

TRUMP: It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude. I think you're a terrible reporter. It's the way you ask these questions. You start off with a man who's highly respected asking him an insubordinate question

Let’s take some “quiet time” in the frequency of inane economic commentary.

Time for the #RunforAustin, except that it’s a hike at 7k elevation. Note the homage to Austin Tice’s photography by my Scoopy Bee photographer’s hat. H/T to my other #mcclatchy photography colleagues. #FreeAustinTice #LFG

This is La Catrina, one of the strongest symbols of Mexico’s Day of the Dead 🇲🇽 November 1-2. Today La Catrina embodies how Mexicans honour the dead: not just grieving, but celebrating life, memories and the people who came before us. 🙏🏻#DayOfTheDead #DiaDeMuertos

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
