- Press freedom, commitments to the rule of law, and overall democratic health is backsliding around the world. With the government killing civilian streamers and deporting freelance journalists in the US alone, it feels like it's just a grab bag of bad all over: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/w...

- If you care about Don Lemon, don't forgot Mario Guevara (reporter who was filming police at a No Kings rally in June) was targeted for his journalistic activity; detained for 112 days; and deported. He had no criminal charges against him and was on the path to getting a green card.
