“We are meeting people where they are, both physically but also culturally. Rather than expecting people to come find government information, it’s on us to bring that information directly to them, into the places where people are already gathering,” @NYCMOIACommr @faiza_n_ali shared with Gothamist’s @arya_sundaram.

Hegseth: "These Gitmo detainees should have been executed in my mind personally a long time ago"

[Ines San Martin @inesanma]

"We cannot believe in Jesus and kill the innocent"

Speaking beneath the soaring towers of Gaudí's Sagrada Família, Pope Leo XIV reminded the world that Christian faith can never be separated from the dignity of every human person.

"We cannot believe in Jesus and promote war. We cannot believe in Jesus and kill the innocent. We cannot believe in Jesus and abandon those who suffer, those who weep, those who flee from misery."

Preaching in Barcelona, the Pope reflected on the cross crowning the basilica, calling it "the cross of the last who become first, of sinners who become saints, of the dead who will rise again."

The highest tower of the Sagrada Família, which he will bless today, may point toward heaven, but today Pope Leo's message pointed us toward our neighbor: the suffering, the displaced, the forgotten, and the vulnerable.

Faith, he reminded us, is not an idea carved in stone. It is a life transformed by the love of Christ.

That is our mission. That is Ted Turner’s legacy, and that’s one that I intend to fulfill in my life." https://t.co/gkeDNAjwLq

⚽️ Journalists traveling to the U.S. for the #WorldCup2026 may face questioning or hostility from immigration officials at the border. Domestic and international journalists may encounter law enforcement and disorderly crowds at matches and fan events. That’s why we’ve compiled safety resources to help journalists minimize risks.

Journalism is not a crime.

In the New York Times's latest court filing:

"By banning the press from the Press Office, Defendants went from Kafka to Orwell."

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The World Cup begins tomorrow, and many will watch the matches. Soccer reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off on our own, but a path we learn to walk together. Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, has not yet understood the game. Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood life. #ApostolicJourney

[UN Special Procedures @UN_SPExperts]

#Kuwait: UN experts concerned about arbitrary arrest, detention & prosecution of Ahmed Shihab-Eldin, in apparent retaliation for his work as a journalist. “States must ensure that journalists can work without fear of arrest, harassment or reprisals.”

[Committee to Protect Journalists @pressfreedom]

CPJ welcomes @UN_SPExperts expressing serious concern about the arbitrary arrest, detention, and prosecution in Kuwait of @aseisfree, in apparent retaliation for his legitimate work as a journalist. We urge Kuwaiti authorities to heed their call. https://t.co/dLybatY7d9

“The Kuwaiti authorities are now appealing and continue to seek to criminalize me for simply doing my job as a journalist. I hope the Kuwaiti courts reject this and that all the charges against me are dismissed, fully and unconditionally. Journalism is not a crime,” Ahmed Shihab-Eldin said in a statement.

[Committee to Protect Journalists @pressfreedom]

Ahmed Shihab-Eldin and his international counsel welcomed the UN experts statement. The statement comes one day before Shihab-Eldin's case will again be before Kuwaiti courts, in an appeal from the judgment issued on April 23, 2026.

Justice in attacks on journalists is rare. I’m gratified that although the vile assault on and violations of @RohdeD ‘s rights cannot be undone, the person responsible for this crime is held to account. #EndImpunity

The Taliban commander who abducted @RohdeD is sentenced to 42 years in prison after pleading guilty to hostage taking and providing material support for terrorism. @ColinRMoynihan https://t.co/jhElwYSQlk

Given the comments and insults during Sunday's @MeetThePress, I thought it pertinent to share "Quiet Piggy" a session held at the @journalismfest on the misogynistic targeting of women journalists. @IWMF & @pressfreedom #PressFreedom #GenderEquality

#colombia - Colombian authorities must swiftly investigate the killing of journalist and press freedom advocate Cristian Herrera Nariño, determine if he was targeted for his work, and bring those responsible to justice.

“This is the second journalist to be killed in Colombia in a month. Clearly, the government is not providing journalists with even the most basic safety measures,” said Cristina Zahar, Latin America program coordinator, in São Paulo. “CPJ calls on the authorities to bring both Cristian Herrera’s and Mateo Pérez Rueda’s killers to justice.”

“This crime undermines press freedom by silencing a critical regional voice. Moreover, it has a serious impact on FLIP by depriving it of one of its members…and by placing at risk—and intimidating—the organization’s work in defending the rights of journalists,” @FLIP_org said in a statement.

NSO continues to violate US law, 7 years after we caught them targeting journalists and civil society. Today, we’re seeking to hold them in contempt for violating a U.S. court order prohibiting them from targeting WhatsApp.

Foreign spyware companies cannot be allowed to break U.S. law and endanger people’s private communications.

We’ve also made our first donation to the Spyware Accountability Initiative - working with civil society is crucial to protecting people’s privacy. We’re grateful for all they do to help protect people.
