This platform has become hostile to those seeking, or providing, factual information. It's become friendly to bigots, and they've been encouraged by the owner.

No judgment on those who choose to stay, but I don't feel that I can remain here as a journalist.

Catch me on Bluesky.

social media owners have historically tried to distance themselves from politics. this election cycle is going to be different. https://t.co/f99a1C3znt

@brianstelter I came back from Bluesky to post this!

The entire pool - nets/papers/AP - should decline to cover the Trump campaign if the campaign insists on barring pool reporters. I'm totally serious. If the campaign doesn't want coverage, they shouldn't get coverage. It's not a right and they don't get to unilaterally dictate.

#Break: I’m told the Trump campaign barred today’s press pooler, NBC’s @VaughnHillyard, from traveling with the former president today in retribution for a recent interview in which Hillyard had pressed Rep. Stefanik to comment on E. Jean Carroll accusations against Trump.

[SamMeyerCNN @SamMeyerCNN]

The campaign *especially* shouldn't get to dictate coverage decisions regarding an interview that wasn't with anyone on the campaign! This is dangerous, dangerous stuff and the pool news orgs need to take this incredibly seriously.

Fun to work on "King Charles" for the first time! Great guests joining Gayle & Charles tonight, including @maggieNYT, @NiecyNash, @roywoodjr & @jordanklepper. Coming up 10p ET on @CNN!

And wonderful to work once again with the ace producers @aparnaa_s, @KiraTV and more!

This is jaw dropping news. I've covered the Pentagon since around the Thomas Jefferson administration and I've NEVER heard of a top Pentagon leader disappearing like this into a hospital for an entire week without disclosing it to the public.

NEW DETAILS: A just-released Haneda ATC transcript points to *failure by the crew of the Japan Coast Guard plane* only moments before #JAL516 slammed into it.

The damning new evidence shows the tower told Coast Guard JA722A to taxi to spot C5—short of (but not on) runway 34R.

[Isabel Rosales @RosalesReport]

A Japanese coast guard aircraft which collided with a passenger plane at Tokyo’s Haneda International Airport was instructed only to “taxi to holding point” & had NOT been cleared for takeoff, an official transcript of air traffic control communications suggests.

“There are sufficient resources to provide Ukraine with the help we’re requesting. All the west has to do is to start believing in itself, in its capacity to prevail.” Ukraine’s Foreign Minister @DmytroKuleba describes Russia’s latest assaults on Kyiv & what Ukraine needs to win.

[Committee to Protect Journalists @pressfreedom]

Dozens of journalists around the globe have disappeared since CPJ began keeping records.

And 2024 is another year of tirelessly advocating for them. They are #MissingNotForgotten.

Today’s my 18th anniversary at @AJEnglish
I’m one of the team that launched the channel in Doha in 2006. I’ve done a bit of everything at AJE and my favorite is what I do now, field producing. I also did reels for Snap during the 2016 elections, that’s my second fave

@anarvirji Congratulations!

@Sulliview So good! Suzzy and her daughter Lucy Wainwright Roche played @wesleystace's Cabinet of Wonder in October.

The same mayor who talks about his New York attitude when criticized takes a very sensitive approach when it comes to the press. A New York attitude goes both ways — and the administration just looks so thin skinned as mayor attacks individual reporters for doing their jobs
