I talked to the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker about Secret Service agents reading through my reporter's notebook:

“Staggering” Water Loss Driven by Groundwater Mining Poses Global Threat A new study finds that freshwater resources are rapidly disappearing, creating arid “mega” regions and causing sea levels to rise.

My dad, who died in the 1990s, went to his grave worrying that Earth’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 they’re irrelevant—but because they still tell the truth Public broadcasting isn’t corporate propaganda. It educates, investigates and elevates voices that authoritarians fear most the people’s. Full Article www.facebook.com/share/p/16oV...

‼️Heads up, Dayton fam.

The former chief editor of Chinese government-backed Global Times, Hu Xijin, described the paralysis of VOA as gratifying. “The Chinese people are happy to see the U.S. anti-China ideological fortress breached from within,” he said

Feel seen.

It’s ok to make mistakes as long as you admit it and never forgive yourself

Was told “you seem so chill.” Babe I am clenching my jaw so hard I could crack a walnut with pure suppressed rage.

Two chickens watching TV. One says: "I'm starting to wonder if 90% of aging is just getting tired of dealing with idiots."

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

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...

Thanks for sharing - solid list.

While I liked a few songs by The Alarm, I wouldn’t consider myself a fan. But hearing Mike Peters’ stories on the BBC podcast “Jon Holmes Says the C Word” gave me a greater appreciation of him and his music. Gutted to lose him. 😢

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.
