NEW: Sources say that CPJ has put together a “special task force” to “reexamine the question of ‘Who is a Journalist?’” (direct language). The main objective of the task force is to explore excluding journalists working for “state-backed propaganda outlets and terror-affiliated organizations” from their database, as well as journalists who exhibit actions and behaviors that the organization finds to be discrediting. Essentially, CPJ is saying you’re not a journalist unless you’re politically aligned with us.
Public opinion turned against Israel so we’re seeing a full court institutional coup. ID requirements for internet usage, merger of U.S. and Israeli military. The committee to protect journalists declaring that Lebanese and Palestinians no longer count as journalists etc
A professor in the U.S. was suspended for mentioning Palestinians, just days after Hasan Piker was barred from the UK for condemning a genocide.
Your rights are being stripped away in service of Israel’s impunity.
US media keeps using the phrase “heightened tensions with Cuba” to describe what is in reality unilateral US aggression, with illegal sanctions and threats of illegal invasion, against innocent people who repeatedly say they just want to be left alone.
Joe Biden and his administration were so committed to slaughtering Palestinian children, they let the Sudanese be slaughtered too. The Democrats clapped along.
Commencement speaker: I love AI and I hate all of you. They gave me a big check to be here. I love firing people at my big company. I bet none of you would get jobs at my business now that we have AI

Commencement speaker: oh? What? What?
When historians in the next century attempt to study the present era, they won’t be able to access our internet. A quarter of all the sites that existed from 2013 to 2023 are gone. There are well-funded efforts to destroy the Internet Archive. All that knowledge will be lost.
In every single country that passed age verification laws:
1) databases got leaked
2) innocent websites got censored
3) governments became more censorship heavy
4) protests became more criminalized
5) information got harder to find
Calling Eileen Wang a Chinese spy for running a news site that publishes articles sympathetic to China is hilarious because if she were doing it for Israel, we would’ve given her a Pulitzer.
@ProfDBernstein@TheAtlantic@speechboy71 Dave, the racist, apartheid state of Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza and ethnic cleansing in the West Bank.
