The Pentagon’s new press policy bars journalists from reporting anything that hasn’t been approved by the Trump regime.

The NYT, Washington Post, Atlantic, and NPR are refusing to sign the agreement.

Kudos to the media outlets standing up to this blatant authoritarianism.

Masked agents snatching people at work, church, their child’s daycare. A return of family separations. States are lining up to run their own detention centers.

Anti-immigrant animus is now being paired with unprecedented funding, manpower, and technology.

We report from inside the American gulag.

This is true. It's history repeating and a sign of what's to come. Mass immigration starts with the wealthy, artists, and intellectuals. Then specialty workers (today remote workers, past it was merchants and mercantile), then farmers, then workers, then poor.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

The problem is that anyone working towards justice is slowly being labeled a "terrorist."

This is happening in Israel. It's happening in the US. And it's even happening in the UK and Germany.

Don't you all see it?

Hope Berry @hopeberry.bsky.social · 10d

On what grounds are these courageous humanitarians with their flotilla of baby formula and such being deemed “terrorists”? Anyone accusing Greta Thunberg, one of the most internationally famous ppl for her integrity, of nefarious motivations, only reflects poorly on themselves

This photo (c.1901) shows two boys exposed to smallpox. Only the boy on the right had been vaccinated.

Smallpox is one of the deadliest & most contagious diseases known to man. The virus killed over half a billion people in the 20th century—three times more than all that century’s wars combined.

A black and white photo of two boys. The boy on the left has a severe case of smallpox, with pustules all over his face and chest and arms. The boy on the right has no pustules.

BREAKING: A federal judge has temporarily blocked Trump from deploying the National Guard in Portland, ruling he overstepped his authority and violated state sovereignty. The court said Trump’s move lacked any “colorable basis” and was not justified by conditions on the ground.
