Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Right now, I’m hearing firsthand accounts of the violence being unleashed in Minneapolis. It’s horrifying.
Minnesotans are on the front lines. This is a call for unity, not division.

If we write off all news media, we’re playing into Trump’s hands. Some outlets are doing well while others stink.
In this installment of my free Stop the Presses newsletter, I give letter grades to major media outlets. See if you agree.

Why won't the mainstream media just go there and broadcast what's happening? Geez it's not rocket science.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

I find myself thinking about historian Robert Paxton’s 2004 definition of fascism far too often than I’d like these days. Note that these sentences were written back when Donald Trump was a NYC playboy libertine who donated to Democrats.

I am begging my fellow Dems to emerge from the reflexive “it’s a trap” position on these issues and realize that some things are very simple: the public doesn’t like the federal government turning the military against its own citizens.The public doesn’t like the armed occupation of a city.Period.
Striking: New Quinnipiac poll finds 56% of voters nationally oppose Trump's sending of National Guard into DC. Only 41% support it.
Independents oppose it by 61-34.
Trump's overall approval on crime is cratering at 42-54.
That sound you hear is a lot of dimwitted pundit narratives imploding.

Hey, Democrats, here’s an idea: Run on fixing Social Security. On fixing Medicare & Medicaid. Don’t over complicate it, just run on “they’re broken, we’ll fix them.”
