Police endangered human life! During the clearing of a sit-in in the #Hamburg harbor, the police left an unconscious person lying in the sun for at least 20 minutes. The police massively obstructed the paramedics.

Without consideration for the injured person and endangering the paramedics, the police continued the violent eviction. Despite requests to call an ambulance, this happened only after a considerable delay - the acute danger to life was simply ignored.

"When you push against a system and it is an unjust system, you must prepare yourself mentally for the isolation and resistance that comes with that. Activism and whistleblowing looks sexy on TV, but it’s hard on your mind and wellbeing." --Dr. Monica Cox greeneracresvaluenetwork.wordpress.com/2022/04/27/dai…

1/🧵Russia's invasion of Ukraine has prompted a massive humanitarian crisis. For many the feeling of helplessness is overwhelming 💔.
Here are some great ways to help (some not even requiring any money).

2/🧵Ways to help include donating to Ukraine via a registered charitable organization, donating money /goods / points / miles, fundraising, volunteering, attending rallies, contacting MPs, fighting disinformation online, etc. 🇺🇦💪#Ukraine #HelpUkraine
3/🧵Money is still the most effective gift.
Most charities prefer donations of cash due to issues with donated goods (logistical hurdles, custom regulations, transport costs, lacking capacity of nonprofit teams to sort the goods, carbon footprint, etc.). 💲🇺🇦#GiveMoney #Ukraine

It's another embarrassing part of the British legal system. Rich people can buy their way out of harm to their reputation and press scrutiny. Can't believe it still happens. opendemocracy.net/en/odr/the-uks…
" In the wake of the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi inside the #Saudi consulate in Istanbul in October 2018, a Guardian investigation found that “British firms [were] earning millions of pounds from efforts to improve the image of the kingdom...."
"Thus, lawyers can easily threaten legal action on behalf of super-wealthy clients. But journalists, especially freelancers or small media outlets, find it difficult to mount the financial resources and legal expertise to respond."

.@JoeBiden’s sad excuse for a spokesman, @tducklo46, has been suspended without pay for threatening to “destroy” a Politico journalist for reporting about his relationship. #BidensUnity #FreedomOfThePress nypost.com/2021/02/12/wh-…
A suspension, JoeBiden? Really? Golow and @neeratanden have much in common.
Joe’s representatives are bullies & thugs. But this is no surprise: that’s who they are at their core & that’s the people they support - as they stand atop their moral molehills sneering like Psaki

“Ducklo reportedly tried to kill a story, which has since become public, about his relationship with Axios reporter Alexi McCammond, who used to cover Biden’s campaign.

1. 4 days ago,the @wikileaks staff informed me that Julian #Assange is freezing in Berlmarsh: he's currently in a cell whose temperature at night is 0°. As a journalist,my duty is to verify info and establish what is factually correct,hence I contacted the #UK Ministry of Justice
2. the UK ministry of Justice did NOT deny that Julian #Assange is freezing.They literally replied to me: "Our priority is to limit the spread of the virus and protect lives. All prisoners at #Belmarsh are able to exercise and request extra blankets"
3. I do NOT want to add anything else: I just want you look at facts and judge whether this treatment of a journalist is compatible with #freedomOfthePress and #HumanRights in a democracy

This September 2018 report focuses on the atrocities in India against independent and critical journalists, writers, and academics since 2014. India is languishing at #142 in the #WorldPressFreedomIndex 2020.
The report has essays by journalists Raksha Kumar and Nilanjana Roy, advocate Gautam Bhatia, and cultural critic Apoorvanand – discuss legal threats, pressures on editors, threats of violence, challenges to academic freedom, and the chilling effect all of this has had on writing.
@NC5PhilWilliams @997wtn @FOXNashville @JohnCooper4Nash @DonaldJTrumpJr @TuckerCarlson Phil, the fact u & @Tennessean think this is a "nonstory" serves only to fuel distrust further

The FACT is, local media sells the govt approved narrative. Coop supposedly reported the LOW #s on July 2nd - BUT

@NC5PhilWilliams @997wtn @FOXNashville @JohnCooper4Nash @DonaldJTrumpJr @TuckerCarlson @Tennessean @Fox17Ferrier Y'all chose to not really make that part of the public dialog. The @Tennessean's "health reporter" thinks he's the Lord & Master of information, standing guard over what the public can know (via his own tweets). @davidplazas pushed that "bars & entertainment" narrative hard.

Justice Kaul: Constitution provides for a limited restriction on Freedom of Speech.
Freedom of Speech gives an avenue to express oneself which is bit physical in manner.
It also gives a checking value system which gives power to check those in power

This piece from 2011 by Jay Rosen is really interesting in light of attitude of many punter to many News Corp journos losing job yesterday.
I see many journalists blaming punters or treating them with disdain for not supporting them, maybe look at why? abc.net.au/news/2011-08-3…

We really do need journalists. The average person doesn't have same access to find out what Government is doing.
Journalists need support of people when under siege from a government that does not want any accountability or transparency and makes their job impossible to do.

Yelling at punters for not supporting them or not caring about their #RightToKnow or #FreedomOfThePress campaigns just increases the amount of people who have disdain for the profession and worse, increases the lack of trust.

physically subdued and I would argue, detained. Plainly, you didn't appear to be free to not accompany the officer. This raises important questions about your detention.

Here is the #AssumptionAccusation by @RepSwalwell: "if you step back and ask why did the president direct Michael Cohen to lie, IF THAT'S WHAT HE DID, it’s to cover up a relationship that he had with Russia that is still ongoing today."
Here's the narrative on the #AssumptionAccusation: "That’s evidence of collusion There’s an entanglement with a country that is not our friend. I think some of the best evidence, if there’s a quid-pro-quo, the quo really started to heat up after the Helsinki conference, right?"

Ten months into his Presidency, Obama's administration declared war with @FoxNews and @NYMag wasn't worried about free press, they were concerned that people would start donating to @GOP and that the war legitimized Fox.

All this talk about #Mueller seems like a fun time to mention Greg Craig (Sadden) was Obama's top White House lawyer while his wife, Anita Dunn was Communications Director. After Craig was forced out, Bob Bauer (Perkins Coie) took over.

Craig was former Clinton insider, gave up all his precious connections to undermine HRC (as did Susan Rice) then suffered "death from a thousand leaks" which reminded @maureendowd of what Clintons did to Kimba Wood.
