Things look especially dire for the U.S. #southwest: #NewMexico & #Arizona, plus #Alaska. #PBS #NPR

Grateful to have the opportunity to read from my essay about the obliteration of #Jewish #Greek & #Armenian life in the beautiful #Istanbul neighborhood of #Kuzguncuk, at the #mediterraneanstudiesassociation conference in Gibraltar in May.

Student #journalists say both sources & opinion writers are asking that their names be removed from articles critical of #Trump policy, with some writers even resigning, the @theguardian.com reports tinyurl.com/yc24yzsr

Because there’s no such thing as an illegal person.

BU professor #MitchellZuckoff lauds #journalists as a “brave and resilient band.” And this conference is packed. @powerofnarrative.bsky.social

An on-the-ground lesson in #authoritarianism for my @rutgerscomminfo.bsky.social #journalism students: as we arrived in #Istanbul, #Erdogan's chief political rival was arrested & deposed, just b/f the two were to face off in presidential elections. They saw 1000s rebelling. tinyurl.com/27v7h4sn

Protests erupt at #Istanbul University, after the main challenger to President #Erdogan is disqualified, & arrested. #assignmentistanbul2025 www.cumhuriyet.com.tr/siyaset/ekre...

#Istanbul is a paradise for street #photographers. Feeling lucky to have a chance to go out shooting with master photographer Abdulkadir Karatas, on this frigid but sunny day. @rutgerscomminfo.bsky.social @rutgersuniversity.bsky.social #assignmentistanbul2025 #journalism #jms

Ready to roll. #aasignmentistanbul2025 @rutgerscomminfo.bsky.social @rutgersuniversity.bsky.social #journalism #jms

Preparing to blast off for #Istanbul with this year's crew of aspiring foreign #correspondents. Students will report on megacity living, music & religious-secular stress, plus glimpse life in an authoritarian society. @rutgerscomminfo.bsky.social @rutgersuniversity.bsky.social #journalism #jms

“We reject efforts to undermine the courts and the profession. We will not stay silent in the face of efforts to remake the legal profession into something that rewards those who agree with the government and punishes those who do not…the intimidating words and actions we have heard must end.”

I wrote this before the Oval Office performance, but really, there is nothing to add. It's all still true.
