Flock “hosted a private virtual training session for law enforcement officers. The 60-minute webinar was billed as a chance for officers to learn how to speak to city councils about Flock’s technology.”

An exclusive intelligence-sharing network operated by Seattle Police warned local businesses and institutions about "malicious actors" at upcoming protests ahead of Oct. 7 last year. Read more about Seattle Shield by @glentalk.bsky.social at @prismreports.org.

“Somebody could show up to protest ICE, and then that information gets reported out to Seattle Shield and suddenly they could be on a terrorist watch list? That is not OK,” Privacy activist Phil Mocek told Prism.

I say it all of the time because it's true: Islamophobia in the U.S. is absolutely one of the most tolerated forms of bigotry. It's everywhere, routine and rarely challenged. It's not surprising that teenagers who swim in this water from birth would also be Islamophobic.

CA parole board denies incarcerated man a hearing based on ‘potential false-positive’ alcohol test, @glentalk.bsky.social reports. Roque Martinez, a leader in his prison’s recovery community, said he’s been a victim of numerous false-positive results that should have no bearing on his parole.

Several Israel Heritage Foundation leaders leave to join new pro-Israel nonprofit in Florida, reports @glentalk.bsky.social. The 501(c)(3) Israel Justice Organization aims to influence U.S. officials to advance Israeli interests & address antisemitism.

Democrats are working to quash leftwing protests even harder than the Trump admin — even as Trump’s DOJ deploys a previously unused subsection of federal law to unleash sweeping indictments on First Amendment-protected activity. New from me for @prismreports.org: prismreports.org/2026/03/11/n...

DHS caught in another lie. They said the man "approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic handgun." New video, shows he's...holding a mobile device (screenshot below). Police have said the man was a legal permit holder, and has no prior criminal record other than vehicle tickets.

I know this horrific event is still unfolding, but it seems that federal agents beat a man who was a lawful gun owner, took his gun, and then shot him multiple times after disarming him?

In September, federal immigration agents shot and killed Villegas González in Chicago.

Federal immigration agents have now shot and killed multiple people since Trump took office a year ago. Today alone marks the second deadly ICE shooting IN A WEEK. An off-duty shot and killed a 43-year-old father in CA on Dec. 31.

Raleigh activists are claiming a rare victory against a subsidiary of Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems. They say Logos Technologies' offices appear to be emptied out after facing protests. The Raleigh location is also no longer listed on the company's website. Read more @prismreports.org

This is the wild part about the whole Trump experience, even when he says politically disastrous things, reporters rush in to fill in the blanks and steelman his arguments. As soon as they cut away from him saying “we’ll run it,” they cut to someone saying “obviously he didn't mean that.”

The most heart breaking part is this kind of "journalism" high up editor logic is NOT unique to Weiss. I wish you could've heard what I heard when my work was killed, silenced, suppressed and silenced (or at best, just criticized). It's eerily familiar. In some ways identical.

the state should issue all journalists five (5) mandatory non-media industry friends to keep us all normal

As #ICE ramps up its harassment of U.S. communities while implementing President Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda, Canadian armoured vehicle manufacturer Roshel has also been stepping up its lobbying efforts to get Canadian federal government contracts. @rachelgilmore.bsky.social writes.

"Censorship is being used as a business tactic. Silencing is happening because people are scared for their jobs, careers, & sometimes even their lives." --a TV writer on threats to free speech under Trump. My latest for @prismreports.org: prismreports.org/2025/12/04/t...

BREAKING: Trump administration plans to end prison rape protections for trans & intersex people, memo says. A DOJ memo says certain standards under the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) do not align with Trump’s Jan. 20 anti-trans executive order, @byadamrhodes.bsky.social reports.

New from me: The DOJ plans to dismantle protections for trans and intersex people in federal, state, and local prisons, jails, and youth detention facilities, according to a government memo obtained by Prism.

I am so upset. Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/

Trump: "I don't think we're necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them. They're going to be, like dead."

After Jennyfer told police she was sexually assaulted by her manager, authorities arrested, detained, and deported her to Nicaragua—the country she had left as a toddler. Heartbreaking read from @alexmar.bsky.social

Almost 9 months ago, our press colleague Anas Al-Sharif removed his press vest following the announcement of a ceasefire. And then we saw what happened next. May we ensure the bombs actually end this time. I wish he, and so many more, were here with us.

I wonder what was going on then that the antifascist movement was responding to. So weird I can't figure it out

ICE arrested 351 Iranians under Trump up until July 29, according to the latest data. More than 50%, or 183 arrests, came the week after the U.S. bombed Iran during the Israel-Iran war.

"Palestinian voices are treated as always biased, where westerners & Israelis aren't, as if only westerners can be objective. Major media outlets have been silencing Palestinian voices for decades. It's just amplified today bc the suffering is undeniable." — Aline Batarseh

"We were focused on freedom of expression even before Oct 7 because as recognition of Israel's apartheid was growing worldwide, Israel and its supporters were developing additional tactics to silence dissent and silence critics." — Aline Batarseh visualizingpalestine.org/visual/syste...

"We see news launder the idea that a free Palestine is, in and of itself, a threat... that we as a people can't be nuanced or difficult, that we have to be a perfect victim... our freedom was something we had to earn, not inherent to us as human beings." @abdallahfayyad.bsky.social

"I embarked on an investigation, not to show that there is bias, because we know there is, not to show anti-Palestinian racism, because we know there is, but to understand how it is done." — @laubast.bsky.social on her reporting with Prism and Visualizing Palestine prismreports.org/2025/09/09/j...

An account given in court by the attorney of a woman who was shot by a Border Patrol agent “really makes it sounds like” the agent “tried to murder an anti-ICE protester in Chicago and DHS lied to cover for him,” said one researcher.

In Gaza, another humanitarian crisis has emerged: the soaring displacement expenses — or, as many people in Gaza bitterly describe it, “The fees you pay to become homeless in the south.” Tents cost $1,000 and securing a patch of land to pitch it on can be almost as costly.

Two years of Israel’s genocidal war against every form of life in Gaza have invaded the very core of children’s imagination. Funerals, death, & martyrdom have replaced cartoons, playgrounds, & birthday parties as the themes of their play. Ahmad Abushawish details how Israel stole childhood in Gaza.

“As the genocide rages on, I am still struggling with how the term 'journalist' is given both to those on the ground who have died reporting important stories & those who have been complicit in these atrocities,” writes Samaa Khullar.

When the Orwellian named Dept of Homeland Security was created … MANY of us predicted that it would eventually be doing all the things that it is doing right now Pinning it uniquely on Trump really misses the point in a bunch of ways

Must-read by journalist Mario Guevara for @bittersouth.bsky.social: "On the afternoon of Saturday, June 14, 2025, my life changed completely. Just as I was doing a regular news coverage, I was arrested by the police in the state of Georgia."

This story — which asks what happened to all of those newsroom DEI jobs, committees, and promises from 2020 — is the hardest one I've ever worked on. I hope you'll spend some time with it today. www.niemanlab.org/2025/09/from...

Liberals are doing the right’s job for it. By lionizing Charlie Kirk and refusing to acknowledge his real political project, they’re giving power to the right’s completely predictable effort to use his death to forward their goal of an authoritarian, fascist state.

what the fuck is “transgender ideology”

Without offering an opinion on the quality of WSJ's sourcing, we would note that extreme dishonesty has been a longstanding problem with administration sources. Good journalism is served by reporters keeping that in mind in the course of their reporting on this administration.
