Journalists play a vital role in holding police accountable—especially when police are telling them to look away. Law enforcement must let journalists do their job. #FirstAmendment #FreePress ⤵️

We really just had to "per my last email" LAPD. We wrote to them a year ago about LAPD attacks on journalists. No response. They clearly never got the message: they cannot arrest, harass, detain or interfere with members of the press covering police action. #FreePress

Independent journalist @TinaDesireeBerg reads the names of all the journalists who have been arrested, assaulted or had their rights violated by law enforcement officers in Los Angeles, according to @uspresstracker.

Making a show of intimidating a journalist for investigating misconduct in your department is some real dictator bs

@CBSNews Allegedly? CBS bro it’s on video?

@_chismosa_ It’s called real housewives of Salt Lake City 😂

@brooksmckinney @Sen_JoeManchin No “but”!! One person being able to derail this legislation is an indication of a *failing* democracy. @Sen_JoeManchin is trash.

I get that we live in a democracy, but one individual should not be able to stand in the way of life-improving benefits for millions of people. Shame on you @Sen_JoeManchin Get over yourself! cnn.com/2021/12/19/pol…

Retail thefts are the latest tool of #copaganda being used to increase police budgets & drive the new wave of mass incarceration. They keep saying one thing but the data tells a very different story. #CareNotCages #EndMassIncarceration #NoMoreCopaganda latimes.com/business/story…

Today on a team call someone responded to a shared article with “thanks I hate this so much” and wow that captures my 2021 mood 🎯 (grateful for colleagues who get it)

@HeatherWeaverDC I always see this at little hipster coffee shops with “all are welcome” signs on the door and wonder if they understand the irony??
