Reporters preparing to enter (one sided) war zones in America
My main takeaway here is that — outside of gear that is literally used by law enforcement and government agencies in different parts of the globe — it's actually kinda hard for journalists covering stuff in the U.S. to find gear that will protect them right now. www.niemanlab.org/2026/01/what...
What a safety expert thinks journalists should know about “less than lethal” rounds and chemical irritants used by ICE
"The consideration that we make with all of our recommendations is, 'What is the safest thing you can use while still getting your assignment done?’"

A mother who was going to get treatment for her sick seven-month-old is instead locked in a *bathroom* with other people: "I don't want my baby to die!"
“You are good to go.” Good to go?!?!
This is what ICE tells a young woman they tossed out into dangerously freezing temperatures after four agonizing days in detention at Whipple.

This enraging story about how USAID cuts that shutter schools and foster total desperation are *directly* forcing vulnerable Rohingya refugee kids into child marriage, trafficking, and slavery.

This was Portland today. ICE gassing the town and shooting off explosions. Abolish ICE
This was the view after I moved away for some reprise. You can see after the flash bang grenade goes off a bird flying. Was a heartbreaking reminder it’s not just people impacted by this but animals and nature too.
