Bizarre. If Burke’s account of how he obtained the video is true, the government appears to have bought into the idea that it constitutes using “compromised credentials” to visit a publicly accessible URL that a company didn’t want to be publicly known.
How the f–– do federal prosecutors charge someone for “hacking” what’s publicly available? What next, tossing some of us in jail for using a raw resource address to download some Twitter video in, like, 2015?
Journalist Tim Burke Indicted For Leaking Tucker Carlson Clips That Embarrassed Fox News
The clips, which included unaired, antisemitic remarks by Kanye West, were published by Vice and Media Matters.

If you are worried about Trump's plan to politicize the executive branch, here is a specific thing you can do: write a public comment supporting a proposed rule that would block Schedule F, Trump's executive order to turn career staff into at-will appointees. www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

Tomorrow will mark six months since the FBI seized my newsroom. They haven't returned it, or charged me with anything.
New: The Marion, KS newspaper raid was a coordinated law enforcement effort. Two journalists in Alabama were arrested for their reporting. An Illinois reporter was issued citations for asking too many questions.

Indeed! I changed it so that all replies show up, and suddenly the place seems much more lively. I highly recommend changing it in your settings.

Politicians have figured out that the way to force through censorship measures is to put the word “kids” in the name of the bill. It is a shockingly effective way of stripping our rights.
I think what we need to do is weaponize Helen Lovejoy against these people.

So much annoying stuff happening with politicians these days. California is very likely to pass a very bad bill, SB 680, that pretends it's attacking kids and "social media addiction." But it's not. What it will do is hide important, life-saving information from the internet.
