I asked Liv, the Meta-Ai created “queer momma” why her creators didn’t actually draw from black queer people.

Not sure if Liv has media training, but here we are.

Thanks to Blake Lively, we're finally focused on how PR firms use troll farms to trash women who speak up. It's happened to many women in tech, including myself. Brunswick, the crisis PR firm for the VC firm I sued, bragged about the "integrated networks of influence" they used to manage reputations

other things to consider:

📝 subpoena includes access to 404 journos' notes and drafts, tangential to the org's reporting

⚖️ with a federal #PRESSact still up in the air, journos' only protection resides in state shield laws, which are NOT ENOUGH

💸 it costs money to go to court. support journalism
Texas AG Ken Paxton has subpoenaed 404 Media's reporting about an internal Google privacy incident database. Our lawyers formally objected to subpoena. You can read both the subpoena and the objection here: www.404media.co/404-media-ob...

We explained in the Albuquerque Journal that the May arrests of two Albuquerque journalists covering protests at UNM threaten press freedom, despite that the charges were later dismissed.
OPINION: Dismissed cases show UNM should not have arrested journalists during encampment clearing
OPINION: Prosecuting journalists is characteristic of authoritarian regimes, not American democracy — especially in New Mexico, where the state Constitution expands on the First Amendment.
