A Day for Gaza Today, The Nation is turning over its website exclusively to stories from Gaza and its people. This is why.

A DAY FOR GAZA

The Nation, as part of its ongoing commitment to cover Gaza, devotes its entire Feb. 3 website to writers, photographers, thinkers who are in or from Gaza.

“Collectively, the pieces embody an enduring affirmation of Gaza’s refusal, in the face of the world’s neglect, to be erased.”

Paywall-free news coverage of ICE raids, deportation campaign aids those who need it most Paywalls create a two-tiered citizenry — one that can afford to be informed, and one that cannot, actor and political activist John Cusack writes.

"Paywalls don’t just limit the reach of news; they create a void often filled by lies and deceit," writes FPF board member @johncusack.bsky.social.

"Whatever business model journalism settles on is sure to depend on public trust. Paywalls undermine that trust."

I never dreamed we would go to war and use execution to keep the Epstein files hidden. Yet, here we are.

Minneapolis’s Mayor Rips “Mass Militarized Force” After a Second Minnesotan Is Gunned Down A powerful statement from Jacob Frey pleads with Trump to pull ICE forces out of Minneapolis before more people are killed.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: "The invasion of these heavily armed masked agents roaming around on our streets of Minneapolis, emboldened with a sense of impunity, it has to end."

Read the mayor’s full statement. It is profound. And it forms a powerful basis for dissent far beyond Minneapolis.

Videos show federal agents killing Minneapolis man Some details of federal government’s account of the shooting aren’t supported by footage captured by bystanders.

Filming ICE is an act of journalism. Cell phone footage is vital source material for reporters who can’t be everywhere at once.

Shooting, killing and other targeting of those documenting news is an attack on press freedom and all else that's good in the world.

I'm looking for witnesses/victims of DHS retaliation against people recording their agents (ICE, Border Patrol, FPS, etc) in North Carolina.

I focus on press, but victims do NOT need to be a journalist. Everyone has right to record.

Our friends @aclunc.bsky.social would also love to hear from you:

"Not only is removing paywalls for public-records-based reporting not financial suicide, it’s good business," @johncusack.bsky.social tells @columjournreview.bsky.social.
