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.

Newly unsealed evidence makes it even clearer that Rubio and Noem knew they were targeting students based solely on their political speech and that they knew this policy was unconstitutional. They just didn’t care. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/u...

Earlier this year, the FCC wrote to a local radio station in SF, unhappy with their coverage of an ICE raid. After Brendan Carr sent them a letter of inquiry, the station cut back on political reporting, and pushed reporters toward human interest stories. Very bleak. apnews.com/article/trum...

Really grateful to work with my colleagues on this one. Even more grateful to work at a place that's not currently under FCC influence www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohPT...

I've been dealing with some prior authorization bs (now resolved) over some migraine meds over the past month, and this piece was very validating and infuriating.

I got my career started at @stlpublicradio.bsky.social and before that, I worked as a student journalist at @kbianews.bsky.social and @lpm.org. These were great places to learn as a young reporter, and vital to the community. Worried deeply about what this will do to coverage throughout KY and MO.

A few weeks ago, we went into detail on what’s been going on at the FCC under Trump, and the massive power the agency has over broadcast stations and networks. If you’re struggling to understand the 60 Minutes settlement, I’d recommend it. youtu.be/07JQr5W3970?...
