Screenshot of a news article with the headline, “Justice Department Says Filming Immigration Raids Is ‘Domestic Terrorism.’” The byline reads Autumn Billings with a date and time. Below the headline is a black-and-white photo of a heavily armed federal agent pointing toward the camera, with other officers blurred in the background.

Filming them committing terrorism is now itself an act of terrorism?

News Team, Thank you for the notes and texts. I apologize for not reaching out earlier. I learned on Saturday that Bari Weiss spiked our story, INSIDE CECOT, which was supposed to air tonight. We (Ori and I) asked for a call to discuss her decision. She did not afford us that courtesy/opportunity. Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now-after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one. We requested responses to questions and/or interviews with DHS, the White House, and the State Department. Government silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story. If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we

have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient. If the standard for airing a story becomes "the government must agree to be interviewed," then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state. These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless. CBS spiked the Jeffrey Wigand interview due to legal concerns, nearly destroying the credibility of this broadcast. It took years to recover from that "low point." By pulling this story to shield an administration, we are repeating that history, but for political optics rather than legal ones.

We have been promoting this story on social media for days. Our viewers are expecting it. When it fails to air without a credible explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of "Gold Standard" reputation for a single week of political quiet. I care too much about this broadcast to watch it be dismantled without a fight. Sharyn

Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.

Damn. I guess the Rapture is canceled.

Ain't it the truth!!!!

@drewhayesnovels.bsky.social I just finished Chilling Reflections, and whether it's tales Tori and the guild, or the students at Lander U, I just never want them to end!
I Can't wait to see what you have in store! Take care and much love. #booksky

Kennedy’s the fifth dentist in those commercials where it’s like “four out of five dentists say you should brush your teeth” and if they cut to the fifth dentist it’d be RFK Jr, tweaking out on Zyn patches and roadkill, licking his rotten teeth and telling you “toothpaste is how they autism you.”

As a late teen "epi-tome"

I used to say "epi-tome"

@wkamaubell.bsky.social is correct. Sucks I know. Doesn’t make him wrong. Because he’s not.

This is moving.

Kamala Harris feels the pain we feel. Not just from her loss, but from the trauma and abuse our country is living through.

What could have been…

REMEMBER HOW TO PHRASE THINGS !

IT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD AS TO HOW IT SOUNDS AND HOW PEOPLE WILL REACT TO WHAT YOU WANT TO EXPRESS !
