BREAKING🚨 Journalist Mario Guevara has officially been deported Friday from the United States back to his native El Salvador. This is a shameful erosion of press freedom in the U.S. — the first time that CPJ has documented this type of retaliation related to reporting.

Seven years ago today, Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi was tortured, murdered and then dismembered. And any so-called comedian who can't stand up tonight in Riyadh and do ten minutes on that kind of hijinx and horseplay just isn't worth the Saudi blood money he's being paid.

Over 40% of Americans approve of a President threatening civil war over his fantasy version of his opponents. As a journalist I still feel some obligation to try to understand. As a human I want to stay as far away as possible, and don't know if I'll ever bring my family across the border again.
