📣 Reporters covering #NoKings protests in LA may want to print this notice from @LAPDPoliceChief to show to officers who are attempting to detain them or force them to leave. If LAPD officers won’t follow a court order, maybe they’ll obey their boss. 🖨️ https://t.co/BDGhBLZQI0

🔔 Public records-based reporting should be free. @404mediaco and @WIRED are leading by example. Hear why this is a public service and good for business, ft. @josephfcox, Katie Drummond, @CaitlinVogus and @LaurenLeHarper. 🗓️ Oct. 29, 2 p.m. EDT RSVP: https://t.co/TOLxYWn4F1
They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @FreedomofPress.

The premise that unauthorized reporting is a national security risk is "absurd and baseless," @SethAStern says. Reporting "on unauthorized information that the government doesn’t want the public to know bolsters national security by exposing corruption." https://t.co/60zFUxjh01

So much for Facebook's renewed commitment to free speech. And so much for this administration's condemnation of social media censorship. How long will it be before the DOJ demands platforms remove news reporting on ICE? https://t.co/Z664xIlrUT

The group, "ICE Sighting-Chicagoland," has been increasingly used in the last five weeks of President Donald Trump’s intense deportation campaign to warn neighbors that federal agents are nearby.

A federal court just blocked a ridiculous law that banned almost all speech on public college campuses in Texas after 10 p.m., including student journalism. Huge win by @TheFIREorg defending the First Amendment. Free speech doesn’t have a curfew. https://t.co/aRksnAc9yR

A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction blocking the University of Texas from enforcing a law that bans virtually all free speech on public university campuses after dark

Journalists are not stenographers. Use our easy action center tool to tell the Senate to reject a nominee for the Army’s top lawyer, who told Sen. Warren the government can punish reporters who publish news it doesn’t authorize. https://t.co/90JQi0VlxH

#NoKings protests return Saturday. Journalists covering police response will have new court-ordered protections in LA and Chicago. Still, “you’ll never win a philosophical argument on a skirmish line,” warns FPF’s @adjoro. https://t.co/GK3s7qTJK7

Dozens of reporters returned their badges Wednesday and walked out in response to the Pentagon’s new restrictions. FPF’s @SethAStern describes the premise that unauthorized reporting is a risk to national security as “absurd and baseless.” Watch him explain why.

We were going to type up some thoughts about the John Bolton indictment, but @ChipGibbons89 said it all. An "unrepentant war criminal" and enemy of press freedom who still shouldn't be indicted under the archaic and overbroad Espionage Act.
