Dozens of journalists were assaulted by law enforcement in Los Angeles this weekend.

The press were just doing their job -- a sacred one explicitly protected by law.

Press rights orgs will follow up collectively tomorrow.

Tonight, I emailed evidence to local/state/federal officials. My sign off:

I recognize this is an exceedingly difficult time and for many of you this is a crisis on several levels. I respect those challenges and I don't consider press rights superior to the rights of others. However, all other rights depend on press rights. We cannot allow them to be chilled. This was explained by civil rights icon and longtime congressmember John Lewis:

"If it hadn't been for the media, for brave, courageous journalists, the civil rights movement would have been like a bird without wings."

Democracy cannot function without an informed public. The public cannot be informed without a free press. It is your shared responsibility to ensure press are able to do their job. Several of you have been supportive over the years and I thank you for that. But your support is now needed more than ever. Please ensure your teams are aware of these egregious violations and ensure you take all possible steps to protect the press, and thereby the public and our country itself.

Sincerely,
Adam Rose
Press Rights Chair
Los Angeles Press Club

The "dangerous invasion" Hegseth refers to are the two dishwashers working in a LA restaurant that armed ICE agents ready to do combat showed up to pick up. That's what started all this in LA.

All to distract from the dismal job Trump is doing to our economy and how he has tanked in 6 months.

He should not live through one day w/o being called a liar in public-billboards, local shop chalkboards, window posters, table tents, texts, all social media. Recipe for self-indulging, mendacious tricksters in politics(ie public service) & business(e.g APrime streaming, which promised:no ads

Worthwhile and absolutely necessary. Has been a terrible political (and human) mistake to accept always deceptive stereotypes that support dismissing entire communities, geographic areas, neighborhoods.

Only 14 Democrats voted against confirming Trump's ambassador to Italy.

The vast majority of Democratic electeds talk like things aren't normal and then act like they are.
