Stop saying Trump wants to "nationalize elections."
What he said was: "We should take over the voting, the voting in at least many—15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.”
"Take over the voting" and "nationalizing voting" is very different from the more sanitized language.
Great to see this vital work getting recognition. My @uosojc.bsky.social colleague David Ewald is leading an innovative class giving students hands-on experience tackling real-world communication challenges and understanding the human stakes behind global stories.

Luttig: It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court does from this point forward. For two years, the Supreme Court has authorized the absolute lawlessness and unconstitutional activity of this president.

Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp. Despite how difficult this job can be, l am proud to be a foreign correspondent at The Washington Post.
This is so upsetting!

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.
I don’t let bullies win.
Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.
if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

Or maybe Bezos and the Post management could just admit that the pivot to Trump was not good for business and pivot back, rather than further erode journalism in the U.S. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

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.

Please share.. ICE THUGS shot & killed a woman in Minneapolis. Then attack citizens point blank with teargas grenades, pepper ball guns & chemical spray in the faces. Of course, Greg Bovino was in the mix. He needs to be brought up for murder charges.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Designating student publications that cover specific communities as "unlawful proxies" is ludicrous and heeding "non-binding suggestions" is cowardly.
Shameful.
