My newest article for @labornotes examines the significance of the nurses’ union drive @MissionHealthNC in the country’s second messy-unionized state. https://t.co/p2xNs1XBYZ

@alorentzen Is it possible to get an advanced copy for a book review?

The order for @universityofga law school's first amendment law clinic to cease all work related to public records law not only hinders investigations into the ATL Police Foundation and #StopCopCity but is also a blow to journalists requiring records help.

UGA dean says 1st Am. Clinic must back off suit ag't Atl Police Fdn re. Cop City–and all public records wk.-bcs "educational mission.” But clinic's website says "gov't transparency" is part of mission. Which is it?

Re; the Mercedes workers losing union election, workers were constantly harassed with anti-union messaging. Mercedes raised pay and ended tiered wages to try to dissuade workers from voting yes, which apparently worked but are overt labor law violations

[UAW @UAW]

The German government is officially investigating Mercedes-Benz Group AG for the company’s illegal anti-union conduct at the Mercedez-Benz plant in Vance, Alabama.

[Azadeh Shahshahani @ashahshahani]

In an outrageous decision, the Dean of UGA law school has ordered its First Amendment Clinic to cease all work related to public records law – including a Cop City lawsuit against the Atlanta Police Foundation.

Somebody fears the truth getting exposed.

"This is really a systemic problem that's happening throughout the industry," Khawla said. "It's not just one news outlet that's doing this, it's multiple news outlets." Read the report at https://t.co/KOzY8YqtyW

As Mercedes workers in Alabama begin their union election this week, they've been subjected to a "barrage" of anti-union messaging

Pretty staggering to see the Pulitzer Prizes rightly honor the brave journalists of Gaza on the same day this @FSP_NWU report reveals widespread retaliation against US journalists who expressed solidarity for their Palestinian counterparts....

[Freelance Solidarity Project @FSP_NWU]

FSP-NWU's report on retaliation against Western media workers for expressing solidarity with Palestine — or for urging more accurate, accountable coverage of the Israeli military assault on Gaza — is live: https://t.co/KOzY8YqtyW

[Barry Malone @malonebarry]

It's World Press Freedom Day. And nobody deserves our respect, solidarity and admiration today more than the brave and determined journalists of Gaza. We would be blind without them and they are the best of us.

[IFJ @IFJGlobal]

🏆 Palestinian journalists covering #Gaza awarded @UNESCO Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom Prize.

"I feel joy and pride, but it's a joy mixed with a sadness for the loss of the martyrs of the Palestinian press," said @InfoPJS president and #IFJ vice-president Nasser Abu Baker.

[Jonathan Michels @Journo_Jon]

It is #WorldPressFreedomDay Press Freedom Day but freedom for what press?

Israel continues to target Palestinian journalists--109 killed according to @IFJGlobal--and bar international media from accessing Gaza. In the US, student journalists are being arrested and silenced.

Why does Mike Lindell--the My Pillow Guy--look like he hasn't slept in a year?

[Gary Peterson 🇺🇸 @GaryPetersonUSA]

Meeting Mike Lindell at the Waukesha Trump Rally must've been what it was like to shake hands with the Apostle Paul before Christ took the stage at the sermon on the mound.

[Committee to Protect Journalists @pressfreedom]

With tensions over pro-Palestinian protests escalating on college campuses across the United States, CPJ calls on university authorities and law enforcement agencies to allow reporters to freely cover the demonstrations.
