DOJ failures to properly redact Epstein files are horrendous. 🧵👇[1/3] Except for a couple of examples that aid journalists in identifying perpetrators, as demonstrated in a beautiful little snippet of multimedia journalism from @tbij.bsky.social 🔎🤓

for over 3 weeks, I've spoken to ICE watchers and organizers across the country: first right after Renee Good's killing — then 2 weeks into my reporting, Alex Pretti was killed. ICE watchers are being detained and harassed — but they're also stopping ICE abductions and inspiring others to join them
‘Backing down isn’t an option’: Minnesota ICE shootings mobilize Americans to join ICE observer groups

interested to learn what “at my direction” means because it sounds like “without a warrant”
The US government has tried and failed to get a magistrate judge to sign off on an arrest warrant for Lemon. And then to get a more senior judge to grant it. Seems like they’ve now found a way to get it done – arresting a hugely high profile journalist for reporting is a real threshold.
Don was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles.

There are places where Trump, as president, has broad freedom of action. And there are places where Trump, as president, has been able to act unilaterally because the main point of opposition, Congress (and SCOTUS), support his program. (1/?)
Wikipedia was created 25 years ago, today – since then it’s become the largest collection of relatively reliable knowledge in history But how vulnerable is it to those willing to pay top dollar to polish their reputations? And how do British PR firms help them do it?
I, for one, applaud CBS News for being honest about its new POV

30 years ago, on 23 November 1995, @shetnews.co.uk became one of the first online #LocalNews websites. Today they remain a tiny outfit, but operate without a paywall, pop-ups or clickbait. Loved this editorial, outlining the ups and downs along the way: www.shetnews.co.uk/2025/11/24/t...
