The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

In Politika, Aristotle says you can recognize a tyrannical regime in the fact that it intrudes into every aspect of the lives of its subjects while enshrouding the tyrant and his enablers in complete secrecy. What we see with ICE is the demonstration of that principle. bsky.app/profile/davi...
the extreme irony and hypocrisy of a govt masking its secret police while building and enforcing a database recognizing every one of our faces and personal data. 🤬

It would be nice to have some sort of official statement/confirmation from the space agency on this instead of dong this like a certain launch services provider does.
Good morning from NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The countdown clock should be ticking right now for a crucial fueling test of the Artemis 2 moon rocket. According to multiple sources, the test has been delayed 48 hours but still no official word from the space agency.

Has anyone seen the charging instrument? Interested in how they got it.
The charges against Don Lemon are ridiculous. He’s a target because he’s black, because he’s media, and because he’s a Trump critic, and because Trump and his minions cannot accept any dissent. It’s deeply pathetic, unamerican, and lawless.

I understand that all of us have to live our lives and therefore simply cannot think deeply about the fact that the current fascist President of the United States is deeply unwell.
I do think, however, that it is the JOB of CONGRESS and the CABINET to protect the country FROM HIM. NOW.

Right now, MSP activists are getting a ton of extremely sympathetic press coverage; Will's ride-alongs have worked in everyone's favor. Will talking about what he's doing has encouraged other people to get involved.
I have begged over and over for other rapid responders to talk to press; I often end up doing it anyway because my risk tolerance is high and I’m already targeted. I always, always make the terms of press engagement clear: no other observer can be identified in any way.
@whstancil.bsky.social engage with media thoughtfully and keep comrades safe or let someone else do it. the movement will be just fine without your clout chasing
