When journalists are targeted itโ€™s because those doing the targeting have something to hide. Itโ€™s appalling. Despicable. But it wonโ€™t work.

โ€œStaggeringโ€ Water Loss Driven by Groundwater Mining Poses Global Threat A new study finds that freshwater resources are rapidly disappearing, creating arid โ€œmegaโ€ regions and causing sea levels to rise.

My dad, who died in the 1990s, went to his grave worrying that Earthโ€™s water supply would dry up in my lifetime.

This new study proves it.

Trump and his allies want to defund NPR and PBS not because theyโ€™re irrelevantโ€”but because they still tell the truth Public broadcasting isnโ€™t corporate propaganda. It educates, investigates and elevates voices that authoritarians fear most the peopleโ€™s. Full Article www.facebook.com/share/p/16oV...

So Trump gets $16 mil while Paramount admits mo wrongdoing and they release interview transcripts which they already did anyway

So itโ€™s a bribe. Itโ€™s literally just a bribe.

The truth is still worth fighting for - Poynter As fact-checkers gather in Rio this week, the fight for information integrity has never been more urgent.

It is a huge, huge problem globally that the "culture warriors" have decided fact-checking is censorship and pushed that narrative everywhere they can. Glad to see some pushback: www.poynter.org/fact-checkin...

Apparently, because itโ€™s 2020 again, I need to start a thread on police violence targeting journalists in the US.

So, here we go:

1. Australian journalist Lauren Tomasi shot by police officer with less lethal munition.

With reporters shot and roughed up, advocates question whether those covering protests are targets Press advocates are questioning whether journalists covering the Los Angeles immigration protests have become targets of law enforcement.

More than two dozen journalists have been injured or roughed up while covering protests against immigration raids in Los Angeles, leading press freedom groups to question whether law enforcement has been deliberately targeting reporters on the story. apnews.com/article/immi...

While I liked a few songs by The Alarm, I wouldnโ€™t consider myself a fan. But hearing Mike Petersโ€™ stories on the BBC podcast โ€œJon Holmes Says the C Wordโ€ gave me a greater appreciation of him and his music. Gutted to lose him. ๐Ÿ˜ข

A brilliant songwriter. The Ocean Cliff Clearing is probably my all-time fav song of his, but those 1st three LPs - Bloomed, Devotion+Doubt, and Since - are utter perfection. I feel privileged to have caught him live 5x. Magical. Every. Time.
