CONFIRMED: Trump has banned Associated Press from the White House & Air Force One for refusing to use the term “Gulf of America”.
The WH Press Sec accuses them of ‘pushing lies’.
At this point, EVERY reporter should have walked out.
If the media won’t defend the 1st Amendment what are they for?

With a few notable exceptions, they will all bend the knee.
Donate to AP if you want a free press that puts facts first.
Supporting the good ones is the only chance we have.
Not all media organisations are bad. Just most of them.
Media owned by billionaires is in it for the money.
Media in service of truth and the ppl is possible.
But never if it’s owned by billionaires.
"Whatever we say is the truth will be the truth, and you better agree or you will be punished"
Next level authoritarianism, cultism, and fascism packaged in one.
What a lesson to millions
Next: "The Earth IS flat"
Authoritarian regimes all attack the free press. Resistance is crucial.
The White House Correspondents Association should co-ordinate a boycott.
Boycott all Trump events & briefings.
Then watch the bully fold.
Imagine the shock on my face 😐
And this is how the world ends. Not with a bang, but a whimper.

Profit for the corporation they work for and advancement of billionaire bosses agenda!
Much like the religious nutters quoting very specific scripts.
Reporters gather, but one is blocked.
AP News found the White House locked.
Call the gulf "America" or stay outside!
The First Amendment cast aside.
It’s not like there are more pressing problems to deal with but there we are
So when another virus strikes America these same assholes will help this admin lie to your face.
Treat them like rabid dogs

Refuse to broadcast or print any Trump quote or WH response.
#SolidarityWithAP.
You don’t need to go back to the 1930s, look at Pinochet from 1970s, Orban from 2010 or Saudi.
The playbook is written and they’re letting it play out. Cowards or greedy? Or stupid?

Trump today: AP won’t use “Gulf of America” so they’re banned!
The ONLY way to fight against authoritarians is to take them to task and to hold them accountable.
ALL media members will suffer if they refuse to fight.
