But don't fight back or you're a criminal!

It would be nice if [REDACTED] But you don't get away with that unless you're rich, or doing okay and white. Or a cop.

I think we are at the point were Journalists may need to have an armed security detail when operating in America.

It's getting harder to hold the west accountable when most mainstream media is controlled by the west.

The recent media silence or downplaying violence in Palestine is sounding a lot like Chinese censorship.

“My work is being featured in a documentary about the freedom of the press,” they said. “And now, I’m here experiencing exactly that.”

Somehow, I didn't read the date and thought this was a historic photograph from the 90s or so.

I wouldn't say I was surprised to find out it happened yesterday, but I would have preferred for it to be history anyways...
