BREAKING: In an OUTRAGEOUS violation of press freedom, the Brazilian government has ignored a Supreme Court order and charged journalist @ggreenwald with "cybercrimes" for @TheInterceptBr's investigative series on widespread corruption in Brazil. nytimes.com/2020/01/21/wor…
@ggreenwald @TheInterceptBr Glenn is our friend and long time colleague. He is a founding board member of @FreedomofPress and has fought for press freedom his whole career. We are outraged & dearly hope he is okay.

This blatant and disgusting act by the Bolsonaro admin cannot stand. nytimes.com/2020/01/21/wor…
@ggreenwald @TheInterceptBr Glenn Greenwald has released a statement: “This denunciation....is an obvious attempt to attack a free press in retaliation for the revelations we reported...We will not be intimidated by these tyrannical attempts to silence journalists." thedailybeast.com/glenn-greenwal…
@ggreenwald @TheInterceptBr Our response to Brazil's charges against our founding board member Glenn Greenwald:
@ggreenwald @TheInterceptBr Freedom of the Press Foundation will report more on this story as it develops. freedom.press/news/our-state…

#BREAKING:
Supreme Court agrees with lower court decision in part about census citizenship question...The government explanation to put the question on the form was “INVALID”
The citizenship question can not stand as it was out now, giving the census bureau another chance to “rephrase” the Citizenship question, back to the 4th circuit court #CENSUS2020.

My non legal professor opinion, this will not make it to the 2020 census.
Basically: the citizenship question is blocked for now.
