I spent Trump's first term covering Latinos in NYC, interning in CDMX reporting on corruption and impunity, and covering marginalized communities in a very conservative Texas county.

This story — about journalism itself — was still the hardest one to report.

"As @lewispants.bsky.social describes in @objectivejournos.bsky.social, “fascist leaders thrive on an ill-informed public.” Wallace, citing @dreanyc123.bsky.social, notes that movement journalism’s 'purpose zero' is 'to challenge fascism and authoritarianism by fighting disinformation.'"
Screengrab of excerpt from a Truthout op-ed: "Right-wing brainwashing can only take place in a truth vacuum. As author and journalist Lewis Raven Wallace describes in The Objective, “fascist leaders thrive on an ill-informed public.” Wallace, citing long-time abolitionist leader Andrea Ritchie, notes that movement journalism’s “purpose zero” is “to challenge fascism and authoritarianism by fighting disinformation.” This terrain of journalism is explicitly anti-authoritarian. Its goal is not only speaking truth in the face of rampant fascist propaganda, but also strategically countering that propaganda, engaging and rallying readers to push back, and spreading the word about resistance so more people can join in."
