We don’t need anymore podcasts but part of me wants to create a rage-fueled one where it’s just me highlighting different every day journalists who ARE covering the story. It is so damaging to constantly bash “the media” without specifics. It drives me crazy.

PBS cuts 15% of jobs in wake of federal funding cut My story for NPR www.npr.org/2025/09/04/n...

DC: I’m out and about covering the federal/national guard occupation this week. Feel free to send me DMs if you see/hear anything. #freedc #dc #ice #feds

I did get a few photos of sandwich guy art outside of the Subway on 14th & U, THE spot of the infamous throw. For anyone outside of DC: this art is everywhere. Photos (c) @leahmillis

Anyone know where this is? You can DM me

Another successful debunking campaign! I’m glad 8 people saw this, lol.

Comments on this post are limited so I’m going to speak here (where I’m sure nobody will see it). I’m a photojournalist, member of WHCA and I’ve covered Trump and his rallies for 3.5 yrs his first term and half of this year of second term. I can explain what you’re seeing here:

At least 51 people have been confirmed dead by the floods that swept through a region of Central Texas as a frantic search-and-rescue operation continues for those missing, including 27 girls from a beloved summer camp. Follow updates here:

Many do so because we love community and storytelling. Let’s also highlight all of the good journalism happening right now. I heard a shoutout to the BBC, anyone want to add? TBH critique is important but so is showing the public the journalism going right, especially when there may be people…

I can’t believe I just paid money to see the new Ballerina Wick film when all I needed was this.

Update: I am now a freelancer! I left Reuters so that I could pursue new paths and projects and I will continue to freelance for them in the future. I am a professional photographer/videographer, I have a drone license, recent HET certs and I am also getting into the safety instructor space.

Stunning.

Can’t post the whole video on BlueSky because it’s too long, but here’s video of just how violent the dispersals were at the LA protests yesterday: www.instagram.com/reel/DK7qwC2...

Peaceful No Kings and anti ICE protests in LA were violently dispersed by law enforcement yesterday. #LA #protest for @reuters

LA anti ICE protests June 11, 2025. For @reuters #ICE #LA #protest #photojournalism

This is why we don’t call them non-lethal. Not in this case, but they can absolutely be lethal.

For some reason it seems that the BlueSky algo ate this post.

This video feels like a glitch in the Matrix

“Our client, who was in the middle of seeking asylum, just disappeared.” Lindsay Toczylowski represents 31-year-old Andry, a gay makeup artist from Venezuela who was flown to a notorious prison by the Trump administration after seeking asylum in the U.S. MORE: www.cbsnews.com/news/venezue...

At the end of the day— three person byline with five more contributing. At least 6 photographers hired across 5 different cities. #Handsoff

Look, I too, can take a screenshot. Consider that a massive national newspaper has to process collected news from the ground through editors, etc. over simplified declarations about media companies that generally do good work are only helpful to those who want them destroyed. It ain’t all or nothin

More cherry blossoms. I am sure it will be an absolute madhouse tomorrow.

Kudos to the student journalists at The Tufts Daily, who crashed a last-minute issue of the paper to cover the outrageous arrest and detention of Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk: issuu.com/tuftsdaily/d...

A little cherry blossom timeline cleanse for you from the Tidal Basin, this morning. #DC #spring #cherryblossoms

U.S. Vice President JD Vance learns the meanings behind symbols used by the Nazis to ID different groups of people as the tour guide points out the upside down pink triangle used for "homosexuals" during a visit to Dachau Concentration Camp in Dachau, Germany Feb. 13, 2025. @reuters.com /Leah Millis

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a dual-antibody treatment that remains effective against ALL SARS-CoV-2 variants by targeting a less-mutable part of the virus. This breakthrough could lead to longer-lasting therapies that OUTPACE viral evolution. 🧪🧵⬇️

It doesn’t take much effort to credit photographers. Win McNamee.

For the record: this photograph featuring Rep. Al Green, D-Texas interrupting the president’s speech during the joint session of congress is by Win McNamee, who doesn’t have a BlueSky. @winmcnamee on IG.

This story by @marissajae.bsky.social et al is a great example of journalism that strives to expand our understanding of the world around us. A great example of the kind of thing we can lose if ppl keep canceling subs. It only hurts the journalists who are still doing good work.

Another boost in the winds in Los Angeles is expected this afternoon through Thursday morning. Although they will make fire conditions worse, meteorologists think the winds won’t be as intense as they were earlier this month. Here’s the latest.

Today, outside of the DC Central Detention Facility: supporters, family, Proud Boys & media wait for the release of those serving time related to their involvement in the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, after U.S. President Donald Trump made a sweeping pardon of nearly everyone charged.

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer. These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP. You can follow his remarkable reporting here👇 www.instagram.com/ethanswopeph...

If you’re not following @stuartpalley.bsky.social, especially on IG, where he consistently posts and updates about fires, you should do so. He is a wealth of knowledge.

LA Times journalists, who have nothing to do w higher up decisions, are out risking their lives to bring their community and the world visuals and the comments under this…

My brother has been a wildfire fighter for 10+ years. His top safety advice to me has always been to be the first one on the road. It's doubly true with 0% containment and LA traffic. If you're thinking of evacuating, and your gut is telling you that you'll need to, don't wait for the order. Leave.

2025… It’s giving 2020

Your lede image was photographed by me, a member of the mainstream media.

People used to use that top photo as proof that my flashbang photo was fake. But the truth is that I also took that top photo. It’s just that the siege lasted for so long, the sun was setting by the time rioters were cleared.
