You wouldn't know it, but the settlement agreement requiring the NYPD not to violently police protests technically went into effect this week.

The NYPD is now legally mandated to respond to protests differently

The NYPD must change its training and policies around how it uses force and treats members of the press, as per a recent settlement.

A democratic socialist woman of color is probably going to defeat the 4th-highest-ranking Dem in Congress. Nice.

AOC says she's not calling out the people who have publicly called for Biden to resign but the ones who are too cowardly to say what they believe publicly but are happy to talk to journalists anonymously.

The NYT just laid off its director of newsroom security — a very short-sighted and dangerous move. If the paper's leaders don't think they need a dedicated position focused on digital security, then they are seriously underestimating the threat to their journalists & sources.

Today the @nytimes chose to eliminate my role, stating that there is no need for a dedicated focus on newsroom and journalistic security. I strongly believe in what I do (and what we did), and to say I’m disappointed would be an understatement. (1/3)

Last year, Reality Winner gave journalists some details about Russian hacking — info supposedly so highly confidential and dangerous that she was sent to jail for 5 years. Now the exact same info is in this criminal indictment released to the public.

AOC: I'm a polling skeptic. My first election, polls had me down by 35 points. I won by 13. This year, I had a primary election. My own private polling had me down by double digits from where I ended up performing.

And a quick note for journalism students: it is totally fine if your pitch unravels or your story is killed. It’s not a reflection on you & your work. Sometimes the facts aren’t there. You just drop it and move on to the next one.

AOC: My opinion is to not get your opinion from whatever's on CNN. Look at the facts of it. It's kind of crazy to me that people are talking about this without talking about how this would actually go down.

This is like when I accidentally texted my girlfriend a photo of the engagement ring a few hours before I proposed.

There are 3 possibilities with the BuzzFeed story: - the story accurately reflects what Cohen told federal prosecutors in another office (e.g. SDNY) but not SCO - the story has minor inconsistencies with what Cohen told SCO - the story’s central claims are substantively wrong

@deadeyebrakeman At least you're not going out to parties and spreading inaccurate information about the sub.
