  5. Freedom of the press only exists when the press says things some member of the ruling class wants said. Otherwise it evaporates like a morning fog.

  10. Five FOIA requests have been filed.

    Three with the State Department. One with Treasury/OFAC. One with the FBI.

    We’re looking for the missing bureaucratic handoff: who first put Autistici/Inventati into the U.S. sanctions pipeline, when, and on whose referral?

    The investigation is now also a public records docket. As agencies acknowledge, process, deny or release records, we’ll publish the paper trail and update the investigation.

  15. NEW REPORT LIVE

    We’ve spent the last week digging, cross-checking, archiving posts and reconstructing the sequence that led to the August 26 designation of Autistici/Inventati

    The resulting investigation follows a campaign against “Antifa” as it moved through outside advocates, political influencers, the White House, Congress and U.S. counterterrorism policy before an Italian privacy collective was sanctioned.

    This is not a theory-of-everything graphic or a pile of screenshots. It is an attempt to document who said what, when they said it, where those arguments moved next, and what the government ultimately did.

  20. The KMT's efforts to slash the budget of Taiwan's international English-language broadcaster is politically motivated and short-sighted

    "If TaiwanPlus is starved of funding and forced to shrink or disappear, Taiwan will lose its principal independent vehicle for telling its own story to the world. Local media focused on domestic partisan battles will leave the international information space largely uncontested."

  21. Pentagon Spokesperson Admits There’s a Secret Blacklist of Journalists

    When pressed about the Iran war, a CENTCOM press official threatened to put an Intercept reporter on a “list of people to disregard.”

    Nick Turse, August 24 2026

    Excerpt: "Under self-styled #WarSecretary #PeteHegseth, the U.S. military has mounted the most aggressive assault on #PressFreedom in memory, from an effort to outlaw 'unauthorized' questions from reporters to imposing unconstitutional restrictions on journalists’ access to the Pentagon. Hegseth has compared reporters to 'Pharisees,' who in the Bible call Jesus’s teachings into question, while the secretary’s minions regularly hurl insults at reporters. This is part of a broader war on press freedoms by the #TrumpAdministration, that includes demonizing #journalists; filing so-called strategic lawsuits against public participation, or #SLAPPs, to intimidate and silence criticism through expensive legal proceedings; and employing grand jury subpoenas and search warrants to intimidate reporters.

    " 'Threatening journalists with placement on a #blacklist in retaliation for reporting the government doesn’t like is as #unconstitutional as it gets,' said Seth Stern, the director of advocacy for Freedom of the Press Foundation. 'This should put to rest the Pentagon’s prior claims that it’s anti-press policies — like its infamous requirement that reporters sign pledges to only print authorized information — are somehow content neutral.'

    "Allee revealed the existence of the blacklist after this reporter was left on hold for more than two hours and complained about a long-standing lack of transparency by the command. In calls earlier that morning, Maj. Emma Thompson, #CENTCOM ’s media operations chief, repeatedly refused to answer questions about Iranian attacks on U.S. bases across the Middle East, disparate U.S. casualty counts, and medical evacuation flights: 'Nothing for you,' 'Don’t have anything for you,' 'No comment.' Thompson then hung up on this reporter mid-question.

    #TheIntercept called back multiple times until Allee picked up the phone. 'They’re not going to answer your call if you just keep calling and calling,' he told this reporter."

  22. Reporters Without Borders (RSF) and the Public Media Alliance have urged Taiwan's legislature to stop the proposed budget cuts to the Public Television Service (PTS) and TaiwanPlus

    The Public Media Alliance said the budget cuts would "weaken an essential cornerstone of Taiwan’s democratic society."

  23. In some cases, the #subpoenas were delivered by federal agents who showed up at #reporters’ homes.

    The #NYT denounced the admin’s actions.

    “The appearance of federal law enforcement agents on the doorstep of news reporters should shock the conscience of any American who believes in the #Constitution & the #PressFreedom it protects,” said David McCraw, The NYT’s top newsroom lawyer, in a statement Friday evening.

    If you're a solo blogger or small outlet, don't panic just because you receive an injunction. They may have no jurisdiction over you, no matter how intimidating they may sound.

    ban imposed by the Odense District Court on the publication of recordings made on

  32. On November 14, two #Montreal #police officers assaulted Dimitri Lascaris when he attempted to enter the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth Hotel, where #Canadian #PrimeMinister #MarkCarney was giving a speech.

    This is by no means that first time that he's been assaulted by the #cops in Montreal. These experiences have become a regular occurrence whenever he tries to attend speeches by Ministers in the #CanadianGovernment.

    This time, however, he managed to capture the assault on video.

    As he explains in his report from outside the hotel, it is now obvious that Lascaris has been placed on a government #blacklist. Although he's a #lawyer in good standing and a card-carrying member of the press - facts about which Canada's government is undoubtedly aware - it’s clear that the Liberal government has instructed Montreal police and the #RCMP to prevent Lascaris from entering any building where a Minister of the Canadian government is speaking - and to use force, if necessary, to exclude him.
