Marjorie Taylor Greene has been disliked by the left for years and years and had never had to fear for her life. She's been disliked by the right for 1 day and now has to hire security.

Thank you. I think a lack of media coverage of ICE's current violence in LA is like how so many people just assumed Flint's water was fixed.

Because if there's a deadly crisis still going on, the media would report it, right?

Just like how the media reminds people to wear respirators for Covid! 🙃
ICE has been raiding my neighborhood and surrounding ones for the last couple of weeks now. They commandeered my local church (against the pastor's will) for a staging site and raided supermarkets, parks, Goodwills, bus stops, you name it.

The national media's been silent. So has @mayor.lacity.gov.
Engagement on our updates re: ICE kidnappings/fed siege of Los Angeles is significantly lower on Bluesky compared to Twitter. Do ppl on here not care about LA anymore? Are feeds being taken over by liberal commentators? What's going on?

Community members on the ground can't do it all. We need help.

Local independent outlets like @lataco.bsky.social have been doing great work covering the ICE raids, but absent a) strong opposition from elected officials, b) acknowledgement from @mayor.lacity.gov, and c) more mainstream coverage, people will continue to be at risk.

The feds are escalating in Los Angeles. We've seen record high kidnappings and our communities are under attack. The media focus on LA has died down so electeds don't feel the need to even feign opposition.

People are out here fighting. We need all of us. Join the struggle. Defend your neighbors.

ICE never left L.A. The military did but they aren't the ones terrorizing the city. Please don't ignore L.A.

Numbers USA is an old school white supremacist outlet that was part of the Tanton Network, so fitting that they’re praising JD here.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Bari Weiss, I believe this is your moment.
Is it a threat to free speech when the President of the United States threatens to yank the broadcast license of a channel whose reporters are asking him challenging questions?

I ask because I feel like there used to be tons of pundits worried about free speech. Where'd they go?
Trump in response to an Epstein question: "ABC, your company, your crappy company is one of the perpetrators. I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and so wrong. And we have a great commissioner, a chairman, who should take a look at that."

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Remember that time New York elected a Muslim mayor and MAGA shit their pants saying Sharia law was coming to NYC, and then like a week later Trump gave F-35's to Saudi Arabia, the capital of Wahabbi fundamentalist Islam, where 17 of 19 9/11 hijackers were citizens? Just to open Trump Tower Riyadh?

This is absolutely the case. The act of becoming a refugee or seeking asylum can, in and of itself, make return to one's home country dangerous.
Fundamental issue here is that countries are neither safe or unsafe. It is people who are safe or unsafe in countries. Simply declaring a country safe is not logical, at least until we know all people in it will be safe.
