With breaking news that journalists from CNN and MS NOW were denied access to the White House grounds Saturday morning ... Here's my analysis of where this is headed:

Ryan Goodman@rgoodlaw.bsky.social · 6h ago

I discuss the mountain of First Amendment case law that prevents President Trump's attempt to punish journalists (ban them from the White House) because he doesn't like their reporting. Plus a good statement by Fox News' Jacqui Heinrich, president of White House Correspondents' Association.

How dare they upset Der Führer with the truth?!

MS Now and CNN say their reporters were denied access to White House after Trump media ban

Ok, here's a compromise: Print out the unredacted Epstein Files and tape them to the Kennedy Center. Boom! His name will be all over the place.

1/ The people trying to exhaust you would love for you to believe that resting means surrendering. It does not. A movement becomes dangerous to authoritarian power when people can step back, recover and return without the work collapsing. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

You know what can't be rebuilt? Lost members of endangered wildlife. But we have no time for this in the national discussion other than a few print pieces. We're losing things we can't replace. People are losing their equity. Our priorities are really fucked. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Symbols matter. White House isn't a palace. Kennedy Center is for the general public to enjoy. We don't have a triumphal arch in DC because that's imperial. We don't put the president's face on money because it's monarchical. It's about tearing down everything that says we're a democratic republic.

I know there’s a savvy take that being attached to the east wing or the kennedy center is a sort of west wing lame-o attachment to the symbols of power and on the other hand he fucking bulldozed our collective property

If you’re feeling exhausted, join the club which affects how often we participate in civil engagement. How do we still keep engaged while taking care of ourselves: 1/2

Maybe the most important political story of our time. People just want the bullshit to stop.

I'm glad we're not invading Greenland, and we've instead reached an agreement to... [checks notes] keep everything the same as it was

A report released this week by a United Nations fact-finding mission found "reasonable grounds" to believe the United States carried out two strikes on a school and a sports center in Iran earlier this year and that both constituted war crimes. From Stars and Stripes' Jennifer H. Svan:

UN report cites possible US war crimes in deadly strikes on Iran school, sports center

A United Nations fact-finding mission focused on a pair of Feb. 28 strikes that reportedly killed about 180 people, many of them children.

NEWS: The Pentagon has announced mandatory low-testosterone screenings for male troops 30 and older, including screening for symptoms such as “reduced libido, loss of spontaneous morning erections, erectile dysfunction,” and other symptoms.

Fucking weirdo.

With just under one month to go until the next No Kings, there are already more than 1,000 events on the map. That means October 17 will be the largest early vote activation in American history. Please join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

IDK about you but i'd rather spend the money feeding hungry kids than screening 30 y/o men for spontaneous morning erections. Call me crazy.

So I just went to the grocery store wearing this shirt. A little old lady stopped me and said "I Love Canada" I said "Me Too" she then said " I don't know what the hell has happened to this country?" To which I replied. "We can fix this in 6 weeks" We then both said "VOTE!"

Disabled people must “prove” they’re disabled enough to receive meagre benefits. Poor people must “prove” they’re poor enough for SNAP and social supports. US Senators don’t even have to prove they’re mentally competent to vote. Yet they decide who gets basic needs met.

No matter how hard you lie, the truth always comes out. Mike Johnson tried to push another lie to his MAGA base, telling them how productive Congress has been during his reign. But then Community Notes were brutal…

i need to know what happened

The White House Correspondents’ Association should’ve boycotted Trump when he revoked Jim Acosta’s press credentials They should’ve boycotted when he sued the NY Times They should’ve boycotted when he insulted all the female reporters Instead, they honored him by letting him speak at their dinner

The Kennedy Center crowd is singing America The Beautiful. This is what democracy looks like.

Exactly two months ago, the White House Correspondents Association honored this man at its fancy black-tie gala banquet in celebration of the First Amendment. Everyone who attended must be so proud.

I crochet, a lot. I make big, intricate projects. Lots of leftover yarn. So I have been crocheting hats and dog sweaters and leaving them by the road where people walk their dogs. Just free. A lot of neighbor dogs have sweaters now. Some need special sizing. I left a note for Milo's mom and dad. 🤣

I hope everyone who can be prosecuted will be prosecuted
