Not a shock since they've done this before.

Tell us all again how supporting and voting for Harris was a terrible idea. You seemed quite sure of that. Never seemed to reverse that position.

So don’t complain. Enjoy the disaster you worked towards.

As the horrors inflicted on the country multiply so will the fascist overreaches.
A lot of good people are going to suffer because MAGA morons voted for a dementia addled sack of venomous hatreds.

So much for protecting their confidential sources. It’s all about suppressing anti administration dissidence. They’re doing everything they can to muzzle any whistleblowers.

So much for the free media. This administration is looking more and more fascistic every day.

How is this a policy implemented during Biden's term?

When was it EVER acceptable for DOJ prosecutors to simply up & seize reporters' records, absent *extremely* good reasons?

Or is this claim just "optics" to obfuscate the even-worse reality?

He’s after the press and whistleblowers now.

I bet the media won’t “both sides” the shit out of this particular issue.

Chickens coming home to roost.

Well all they need to do is make copies and keep them in a safe place .. and fuck this administration

Not really. A lot of source material includes people who would be seriously compromised if their names were revealed.

Make backups of everything and put them in a secure location: NOT on a public-facing cloud.

This North Korea/Hungary hybrid we’re becoming is fucking terrible.

Many reporters will go to jail rather than comply with this authoritarian ruling.

Are you sure about that? I’m not.

They didn't say all, or even most - but any profession that is unlikely to be financially lucrative and also serves a public good is going to have a lot of strongly principled people. Not all, maybe not even most, but still many.

graciejane.bsky.social•2 days ago

I know what many means and we shall see just how many many is …

journalists also probably understand better than anyone the impact that watching people be tried and jailed for maintaining their integrity would have on public opinion... and maybe also that capitulating to trump doesn't actually work

who do you think got this guy elected in the first place?

pensive-tm.bsky.social•1 day ago

@joerogantop.bsky.social has a big part in Trump’s victory with his last minute endorsement after having Musk & Trump both spew lies on his show without Joe questioning anything. His 19.7 YT followers are the lies up, and voted with them. Over 58 million views.
