A restraining order was issued YESTERDAY by a federal judge barring detention of journalists in this district unless they refuse to reposition themselves and are given adequate time to do so, or there’s probable cause they’ve committed a crime.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

Great point from @mjtoma.bsky.social: Millions of us absolutely do see what's happening to the USA.

"We are horrified, shocked, enraged, and ashamed. We are acting, in a thousand ways, to oppose it. This cannot, and will not, be how the United States ends."

So they’re keeping the House in recess for another week (see his follow up)?

To delay the Epstein Files and, I guess, avoid the No Kings rally on 10/18?

They are in full blown pants pissing panic

Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado won the Nobel Peace Prize today for her efforts to achieve democracy in her country.

Mie Hoejris Dahl interviewed Machado for WPR just days before last year’s election.

I like how they gave the Nobel Prize to someone fighting for democracy in Venezuela, instead of someone sinking fishing boats off their coast.
