Last week in Villarreal v. Alaniz, the Supreme Court declined to uphold a journalist's free speech rights after she was arrested for asking questions of local officials. Yesterday, Trump threatened to put a journalist in jail who had published information about a US airman in Iran. At the Pentagon, a few far right nut jobs are all that's left of the Pentagon press corps. The Trump regime will continue criminalizing journalists because they know how essential good journalism is to the functioning of a democracy.

The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention issued its third red flag alert for anti-trans genocide in the US last month. With each passing week, new ever-more draconian legislation is introduced in states across the country as the federal government attempts to scapegoat the trans community for all the ills of society. And we can't look away from the injustice. Huge shout out to Aleksandra Vaca over at Transitics for their great reporting.
