L.A.Spates

A very dark day, indeed.

They should have banded together after the AP Gulf of Mexico situation. If AP’s not in the Oval; we’re not either. If AP’s not on AF1; we’re not either. Let the president sit there without cameras and recorders.

But I’m glad they’re doing something now.

And Biden said he’d be a transitional president. A one term guy. Dem leadership had years to prepare for what or who could come next and…nope.

“Copyright growing pains”? As in, ripping off creators?

I’d liked to have seen a united response after they barred @apnews.com from the Oval etc.

If that was the inch, this is the mile. But good on these outlets for standing together.

US news outlets refuse to sign new Pentagon rules to report only official information Defense department policy requires outlets to vow not to obtain unauthorized files and restricts access to some areas

Independent journalists must be protected from ICE attacks Letter calls on local authorities to investigate all attacks on journalists

Law enforcement needs to rein in ICE's anti-press abuses and investigate ICE attacks on independent journalists in Chicagoland.

A coalition of Chicago and national press freedom orgs explained why in a letter to the Broadview Police Department and Illinois State Police today.

Listened to 4 songs with 6-year-old during school run. “I like her old stuff, mama. Can we do Shake It Off”?

Jury’s still out over here.

Happiness is a friend calling to discuss whether “fewer than” or “less than” is correct in a sentence. Today is OK.

I didn’t follow the assignment tonight and started “Stripped for Parts: American Journalism on the Brink.” Bad call.

Only 10 minutes into “Stripped for Parts: American Journalism on the Brink” and I’m sobbing. I don’t know if I can make it through the rest.

1:04 p.m. PST and still no social media comms from @schumer.senate.gov or @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social on the President saying, “We should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military.“

Have they taken reporters’ Qs yet? Someone please share the coverage I’m missing?

And when it *is* women’s it’s PINK! Why would I want to wear pink?!?! I’m trying to rep my team!

I keep telling people. Your work and “The Long Shadow,” season 2, from @vermontgmg.bsky.social. Required reading.

Give a listen to @vermontgmg.bsky.social’s “Long Shadow” Season 2 (and 1).

And they need to listen to @vermontgmg.bsky.social’s “Long Shadow” Season 2. Immediately.

Miss Scarlet.
