A little ray of sunshine:

The Journal Times, part of Lee Enterprises, had been seriously impacted by the #ransomware attack by Qilin in February. Today, they announced that they are back to full strength: https://journaltimes.com/opinion/column/article_856d2fed-473b-4683-bbf4-61e8fd157830.html

Sincere congrats to them after what was almost two months of intensive and dedicated efforts to fully recover.

Does Jeff Bezos support snatching immigrants who are here lawfully and deporting them to El Salvador? Or snatching Russian dissidents and returning them to Russia?

OMG, with #Trump’s new White House #PressPool policy, where he gets to pick who is in it instead of the White House Correspondents’ Assn who used to decide which reporters rotated through the pool, the questions he is taking are literally beginning with revolting flattery.

Not one asked about #SignalGate

I’ll gladly support the independent sellers that make up 60% of Amazon’s sales the DAY THAT AMAZON DOESN’T MAKE A DIME ON THOSE SALES.

Don’t try to snow us, you fascist fuck.

This is batshit crazy.

#Tufts University sent an email to alumni on Thursday, detailing what school officials know about #RumeysaOzturk, a Turkish graduate student who was detained by federal authorities.

"The university had no knowledge of this incident in advance, did not share any information with federal authorities prior to the event," the email to alumni says.

A federal judge has issued a restraining order against #KariLake & the #Trump admin barring the cancelation of funding for #RadioFreeEurope.

The decision to terminate, the judge says, appears to violate the #law & the intent of #Congress.

A post about #Headlines & #FreePress

Here's a look at one 'independent newspaper" from Russia, now claiming to be under threat from their justice department, being called an opposition voice to leadership & declared a foreign agent. That's not DOGE, it's Moscow! This is a paper with a long and cozy relationship with Kremlin officials and sources.

I find it ironic in many ways. Moscow Times now pleading for help surviving...from whom? Tourists & foreigners?

#SCOTUS turned down a request to take up #Trump ally #SteveWynn's bid to upend the landmark NYT v. Sullivan #FreedomOfThePress precedent.
