The free speech equivalence is not just about shouting “fire!” in a crowded theater; Fox News are now operating at the level of setting smoke bombs off in a crowded theater - then shouting “Fire!” Fox News are operating with impunity as a party organ of misinformation, disinformation & provocation

Saying "Quiet piggy" to a female journalist on the eve of the Epstein files vote is a red lights flashing, sirens-blaring perp self-own.

Moskowitz during a hearing reads an excerpt from Kristi Noem's book where she talks about shooting her dog Cricket and says, "If we're get on high horse about animal cruelty I just want to make sure we apply that equally"

This is not my first rodeo with retaliatory false accusations. An "activist group" claimed I have a history of domestic abuse in the Dallas Express. I later found that Crowds on Demand had been hired by the publisher of the Dallas Express to create the group.

As I told the Columbia Journalism Review, this swatting incident occurred just before I published an investigative report that unmasked the operators of four major neo-Nazi accounts on X. I don't think the timing was coincidental.

The dangers facing local reporters who cover extremism.
The extremism beat has gone mainstream—but in local markets, it’s still intensely personal.

Last Thanksgiving, two Dallas Police officers knocked on my door, citing a tip from the FBI national threat operations center that I was beating my girlfriend. The incident report confirms this. Today, I obtained a file from the FBI via FOIA that states the FBI has no record of receiving such a tip.

I honestly don’t think this threat means as much as it once did. It seems to me that the people he endorses tend to lose now.

The unholy axis of the US prison system.
For much of this nation's history, health care for incarcerated people was provided directly by state prison or health authorities. But today, roughly two dozen states use for-profit health care contractors.
In Illinois, a Private Prison Company’s Long Trail of Deaths and High-Dollar Contracts
This year, Illinois again picked Wexford Health Services for prison health care despite longstanding claims of neglect. A judge has since extended court monitoring of prisons.
