first amendment rights in the trash, billionaires demolishing revered media institutions, journalists being hit with frivolous lawsuits just because the legal fees will bleed them out. i just need an enormous mea culpa from the media people who called gawker a deserving exception after hogan.

This incident alone would have triggered hearings and probably a senior-level resignation in another administration.

Just so everyone's aware, the Post Sports testimonials you've been seeing aren't just about Olympics/spring training coverage. The Post is threatening to shutter the entire sports department. Forever. That's a lot of jobs.

He keeps every story I write in boxes in his home. He calls me to ask if I know when my stories make it on the front page of the sports section.

It’s an honor to be part of the @postsports.bsky.social team. Always have felt that way but especially today.

Gregory Bovino Gets Demoted The Border Patrol chief was the public face of a traveling immigration crackdown on cities governed by Democrats.

BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

I remember when The Athletic started expanding, the one market it had trouble poaching from was DC, because Post Sports was so strong. No one wanted to leave The Post. Why would you? You had, arguably, more resources.

Post Sports has always attracted and churned out stars. I regularly see my old coworkers on TV. Just an insane player-development apparatus.

(One time I was working at my desk and was like, who unmuted PTI? I turned around, and actual Mike Wilbon had come in to visit some of his old friends.)

Post Sports is where I got my start. I count myself lucky that I got to learn from that staff.

Idk if folks outside the industry (or the DMV) are aware, but it is like THE standard for newspaper sports journalism.

It’s unfathomable to me that anyone would gut such a load-bearing institution.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.
