If you’re an editor isn’t it just fucking exhausting at this point? It’s not just wrong and scolding but it’s also deeply fucking boring.

I’m Probably About to Be Banned From CNN — But Someone Has to Say This About Scott Jennings
There are times when you need to tell your friends that they are committing a grave mistake, even if they resent you for telling the truth.

Yesterday in St. Paul, ICE conducted a targeted operation of 2 convicted sex offenders. One of the criminal targets had convictions for sex with a minor and sexual assault. The other target had convictions for sex assault with penetration in the first degree, domestic violence, and violating a protective order. Both also have convictions for failure to register as sex offenders. They both have final orders of removal from an immigration judge.
The US citizen lives with these two convicted sex offenders at the site of the operation. The individual refused to be fingerprinted or facially ID'd.
He matched the description of the targets. As with any law enforcement agency, it is standard protocol to hold all individuals in a house of an operation for safety of the public and law enforcement.
[My interjection: "Hold" = drive around for an hour?]
Both of these sexual predators remain AT LARGE in St. Paul. We will be providing the public with photos and descriptors to help us locate and apprehend these public safety threats.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2bqqvvbljclouzkz5r3oq36o/bafkreih57lnbhqchksujnxyq2vohfhdwx33rzrad7duuwdjecoagfgsbri@jpeg)

German Jews were citizens of Germany at the start of 1933. By the end of 1933, the Nazis had
removed citizenship from naturalized citizen Jews.
In 1935, all German Jews were fully stripped of their German citizenship.
Citizenship under dictatorships is contingent for targeted minorities.

The last NYT editor not locked up by Trump will still be writing “he’s testing the limits.”
Every time Trump breaks the clear letter of the law, the NYT and WaPo write a story about how he’s “pushing boundaries” or “testing the limits of his authority”

According to Brian Stelter, 60 Minutes is finally airing the "Inside CECOT" story that Bari Weiss shelved.
She made Sharyn Alfonsi fly to DC to get an interview with Tom Homan and Kristi Noem for the segment, but both refused.
So it'll run tonight -- with no promotion and against the NFL playoffs.

Jeff Bezos is no stranger to issues of press freedom. He got a lot of goodwill when helping WaPo's Jason Rezaian get out of Iran. He stood with Khashoggi's wife after the Saudi gov murdered him.
Which makes his silence on one of WaPo's reporters getting raided on home soil all the more salient.
