The Trump Administration Is Trying to Prosecute Its Way Out of Bad Media Coverage The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort threaten more than just their First Amendment rights as journalists.

Protesters are pushing back against the Trump admin’s practice of kidnapping their neighbors and executing dissidents, and the Trump admin is arresting the journalists who publicize that righteous anger

I wrote about Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, & the First Amendment

Fulton County officials say they're filing a federal lawsuit challenging the FBI's seizure of 2020 election records in Georgia.

The First Amendment's fundamental democratic safeguards do not exist if journalists are not free to cover uprisings against government abuses without fear of state retaliation

Breaking on MS NOW:

Ed Martin, the Justice Department lawyer who has been a leading advocate for investigations into Trump's political adversaries, has been sidelined from that role and is working mainly as the pardons attorney, three people familiar with the matter, told MS NOW.

My 11 year old son and I started the audiobook for Project Hail Mary on a drive back from a basketball tournament yesterday and it’s *great*, highly recommend.

I just googled this event and lol that Barack Obama went in 2009 and said

"This dinner began almost one hundred years ago as a way to celebrate the birthday of General Robert E. Lee. If he were here with us tonight, the General would be 202 years old. And very confused."

I wonder if you get a cash bonus from Fox if you really go crazy on the Trump stuff like this?

How beautiful

the brutality of the Trump admin makes it easy to overlook how bitchmade they are, bc why does the indictment of Don Lemon & Georgia Fort say they attempted "to oppress and intimidate" people by asking them questions "in close proximity" (yknow, as journalists do)

Quote from Trump just minutes ago:

"The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places.... The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting."

In modern history, there's never been a bigger threat to our Constitution and our way of life than and his enablers.

Yeah Greg we fucking know, what the hell are you doing about it Greg? Are you going to ask for funding to fight this? GREG

It’s been a while since I've posted anything anywhere, but I didn't want to let any more time go by without thanking everyone for all your kind messages of support over the last year and a half. I've learned firsthand how effective a smear campaign can be, so to be clear: The allegations against me are completely and simply untrue. There are emails, text messages and video evidence that flatly contradict them. These allegations, especially the really salacious ones, have been spread and amplified by people who seemed a lot more interested in outrage and getting clicks on headlines rather than whether things had actually happened or not. (They didn't.)

One thing that's kept me going through all this madness is the conviction that the truth would, eventually, come out. I expected that when the allegations were first made there would be journalism, and that the journalism would take the (mountains of) evidence into account, and was astonished to see how much of the reporting was simply an echo chamber, and how the actual evidence was dismissed or ignored. I was a journalist once, and I have enormous respect for journalists, so I've been hugely heartened by the meticulous fact and evidence-based investigative writing of one particular journalist, whom some of you recently brought to my attention, who writes under the name of TechnoPathology. I’ve had no contact with TechnoPathology. But I’d like to thank them personally for actually looking at the evidence and reporting what they found, which is not what anyone else had done. If you are curious about what they've uncovered so far, the link in this post takes you to really good investigative reporting.

It's been a strange, turbulent and occasionally nightmarish year and a half, but I took my own advice (when things get tough, make good art) and once I was done with making television I went back to doing something else I love even more: writing. I thought it was going to be a fairly short project when I began it, but it's looking like it's going to be the biggest thing I've done since American Gods. It's already much longer than The Ocean at the End of the Lane, and it's barely finished wiping its boots and hanging up its coat. And I spend half of every month being a full-time Dad, and that remains the best bit of my life.

It's a rough time for the world. I look at what's happening on the home front and internationally, and I worry; and I am still convinced there are more good people out there than the other kind. Thank you again to so many of you for your belief in my innocence and your support for my work. It has meant the world to me.
