Trump’s FCC is moving to review Disney/ABC’s broadcast licenses all because of a late-night JOKE. If the government can yank TV licenses over political speech, NO outlet is safe. Wake up. Speak up. Fight back. This affects ALL of us. 🇺🇸 #PressFreedom #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/Adi_WU_5cRNm...

When reporters say they were pressured to change facts to match a preferred narrative, that’s a story everyone should care about! A free press can’t function if stories are shaped to satisfy politicians, executives, or activists! Facts first. Always! #SheShed #TruthMatters #PressFreedom

Cartoonist @anntelnaes.bsky.social quits the Washington Post after a cartoon mocking Post-owner Jeff Bezos is refused. Cartoon for @trouw.nl: www.trouw.nl/cartoons/tje... #JeffBezos #WashingtonPost #StandWithAnn #pressfreedom

Cartoon showing Jeff Bezos walking into the office of the Washington Post, followed by two servants pushing wheelbarrows filled with money. The slogan 'Democracy Dies in Darkness' lies discarded on the ground, while a new slogan 'Whatever You Say, Mr. Bezos' is being installed above the door. A cartoonist labeled 'Ann Telnaes' walks out through a side door with a sign on it that reads 'Critical cartoonists and journalists - exit here'.

Investigative journalist Daphne Galizia (b. #OTD 1964) reported on govt corruption, allegations of money laundering & more in #Malta. A "one-woman WikiLeaks." Known internationally for her investigation of the Panama Papers, she was assassinated by a car bomb in Oct 2017. #Journalism #PressFreedom

A black-and-white portrait of the prominent Maltese investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia (1964–2017), who gained international acclaim for exposing political corruption and money laundering tied to the Panama Papers before her tragic assassination. She faces the camera directly with a subtle, composed, and knowing smile, her warm eyes conveying intelligence and resilience. Her dark, straight hair is parted down the middle, framing her face and cascading over her shoulders. She wears prominent, ornate, drop-style dangling earrings that feature concentric circular designs, catching the light. Her blouse is light-colored and adorned with delicate, patterned floral embroidery along the neckline. The background is softly blurred and indistinct, focusing all attention on her powerful presence. The overall mood is dignified and reflective, serving as an impactful historical testament to press freedom and courage.

Trump has found a cure for bad press: ban the press. CNN, MS NOW, and Politico failed the presidential flattery test, so they are out. Tiny problem: There is no “hurt Trump’s feelings” exception to the First Amendment. youtu.be/pCcBHLkEkII #DonaldTrump #FirstAmendment #PressFreedom

#Indian journalist Gauri Lankesh was murdered outside her home #OTD in 2017. Known for her criticism of right-wing Hindu extremism & for mapping out/exposing the growth of radical right-wing groups. She campaigned for women's rights & against caste-based discrimination. #PressFreedom #journalism

A beautiful portrait of Indian journalist, editor, and political activist Gauri Lankesh (1962–2017), an international symbol for press freedom who was assassinated outside her home. Lankesh is sitting at a polished wooden table. She is posed thoughtfully with her left elbow resting on the table, her hand gently supporting her chin, while her right hand rests flat on the surface, showcasing a simple ring on her finger. She wears a vibrant, olive-green cotton tunic featuring a decorative center panel patterned with intricate orange and brown traditional motifs. She wears a delicate gold chain necklace with a small pendant. Her expressive dark eyes look directly at the camera with a calm, resolute, and unwavering gaze, framed by her short, cropped silver-grey hair. The setting is softly lit with a warm, natural ambiance, against a blurred background of a multi-paned window. The overall mood of the composition is solemn yet dignified.

The editors at NYTimes continue to insist on democracy-washing euphemisms. We are witnessing a fascist consolidate power and wage war on every aspect of American democracy - especially truth-tellers and #PressFreedom NYT: “uneasy time for press freedom” “chilled first amendment environment”
