Hoy en la conmemoración del #DíaMundialDeLaLibertadDePrensa, te traemos un hilo explicador sobre qué busca inicialmente esta fecha. 🧵#PressFreedom #Pressefreiheit #WorldPressFreedomDay 
Comencemos... el 3 de mayo de cada año se celebran los principios fundamentales de la libertad de prensa📰🗞
Estos buscan brindar la oportunidad de evaluar la libertad de prensa a nivel mundial, de defender los medios de comunicación de los ataques sobre su independencia, así como de rendir homenaje a los periodistas que han perdido sus vidas en el desempeño de su profesión.
.@washpostPR It is bad #PR the way you harangue #police endlessly and now don't even let people comment on your constant attacks. I have unfollowed @washpost & may not give you the many RTs I used to do. PLUS you could have done your job & helped people see Trump as he was.
After the fact exposure of Trump doesn't bring back the dead. More than 10 times Vietnam War numbers of dead in COVID. What did you think having a psychopath in office was going to do for us?
We need police. Sure some police officers will be imperfect or need removal but your falsehoods are wayyyyy beyond the pale. AND you are ignoring so much else. Like the high crime areas police still go in to & some wouldn't. They won't when you get done. I am NOT thankful4u!

1st: “Gurri’s negation,” his observation that the explosion of social media & information technology has tremendous power to tear down institutions, ideas, & people (e.g. cancel culture), but, as of yet, very little ability to create or sustain. 3/10
If ‘Congress Shall Make No Law…’ Why Can Governors? via @derekahunter townhall.com/columnists/der…
The First Amendment states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble,
and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
That’s unambiguous. Not “pretty unambiguous,” just unambiguous. Full stop.

#MikePompeo on lying:
"When I was a cadet, what was the cadet motto at West Point? 'You will not lie, cheat or steal, or tolerate those who do'? I was the CIA Director. We lied, we cheated, we stole. It was like - we had entire training courses!"
