Nevada hasn't seen siege of immigration enforcement other states have experienced. But data shows there has been a drastic increase in immigration arrests. My latest in @nevadacurrent.com.

as a journalist, the gutting of wapo makes me anxious; as an american, it makes me terrified

journalists are workers who deserve to be paid fairly for our labor and I think that far too few consumers of media recognize or even care about this fact

Pinned lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Aug 19, 2021 Almost three years ago, my editor called me early one November morning. A wildfire had sparked near a town called Paradise, he said. Could I go? (1/13) 0:02 / 0:10 lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · 47m I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated. Quote lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Jan 25 Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.

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 concerned that breaking the law and breaking the rules has essentially just become the cost of doing business for companies in Musk’s orbit,” said Assemblymember Member Howard Watts.

cover of The Washington Post on Wednesday Feb 4, 2026. Headline on bottom, right: Musk wanted to hook users; his chatbot got more sexual

My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valley’s political power

A mother and their 15 year old describe getting gassed and seeing young children in pain. #Portland #ICEOut #Pretti

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

Journalist Georgia Fort has been released from custody (video @fox9mn.bsky.social)

Federal agents arrest journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort in what press freedom groups say is an escalation - Poynter The arrests come after multiple federal judges rejected the Justice Department’s attempts to charge the journalists

Those prosecuting @donlemonofficial.bsky.social and @bygeorgiafort.bsky.social "aren’t low level officers from a municipal police force," FPF's Seth Stern told @poynterinstitute.bsky.social.

"This is coming from the highest level of government."

Georgia Fort recorded her arrest. There were DEA agents at her house.

What the fuck for.

Your First Amendment rights are being obliterated: peacefully assemble, bear witness, #PressFreedom

@donlemonofficial.bsky.social
and journalist #GeorgiaFort have been indicted and arrested.

This needs to be a #FrontPage story in any credible news outlet worthy of 1A protections.

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning

I was sent this video of agents at her door:

Knight Institute Condemns Arrest of Journalists Reporting on Minneapolis Protests, warns of tightening vise on #pressfreedom.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.

But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Noooo!!!!
