“Police cannot pick and choose when the First Amendment applies. Journalists in Los Angeles were not caught in the crossfire — they were targeted." - National Press Club President Mike Balsamo https://www.press.org/newsroom/national-press-club-condemns-police-targeting-journalists-covering-los-angeles-protests
National Press Club Condemns Police Targeting of Journalists Covering Los Angeles Protests

WASHINGTON, June 9 — Following multiple disturbing incidents in which Los Angeles police and sheriff’s deputies targeted, injured, and obstructed journalists covering public protests, National Press Club President Mike Balsamo issued the following statement today: “Police cannot pick and choose when the First Amendment applies. Journalists in Los Angeles were not caught in the crossfire — they were targeted. A CNN reporter and crew were forcibly removed from a protest zone in downtown Los Angeles, despite journalists being exempt from dispersal orders under California law, and security personnel working with a CNN team were briefly detained. In another widely viewed incident, an Australian television journalist was struck by a less-lethal round fired by police while reporting live on air. Other journalists were injured, blocked from continuing to report, or denied safe access to observe police activity and arrests. When police target journalists, they are targeting the public’s right to know. With protests continuing in Los Angeles, police must ensure that reporters can safely do their jobs — not obstruct them or place them in harm’s way. The public depends on their reporting to understand what is happening on the ground. The National Press Club is calling on Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell and Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna to immediately: • Stop targeting, detaining, or obstructing journalists. • Guarantee that journalists can safely observe and report on public demonstrations. • Investigate these incidents and hold those responsible accountable. Thousands of LAPD personnel have received training that includes instruction on how to work safely with journalists during public demonstrations. We urge officers to put that training into practice, and to respect the critical role of the press in keeping the public informed. A journalist struck by a police-fired round while reporting live. Reporters detained for doing their jobs. A free society depends on a free press — and police must respect that. Los Angeles officials must act now. The world is watching.” About the National Press Club Founded in 1908, the National Press Club is the world’s leading professional organization for journalists.

If you would like to protest Trump's unconstitutional seizure of power, consider finding a No King's protest near you this Saturday. Instead of the news focusing on his military parade on his birthday, nationwide protests will help steal his thunder and hopefully bring the focus back to the people, instead of this would-be monarch.

No Kings

On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else.

No Kings

Wir gedenken: Heute vor 20 Jahren, am 9. Juni 2005, wurde İsmail Yaşar in seinem Imbiss in #Nürnberg vom #NSU ermordet. Er wurde 50 Jahre alt.

#KeinVergessen #KeinSchlussstrich

Um 18 Uhr gibt es in der Scharrerstraße eine Kundgebung im Gedenken an İsmail Yaşar.

Guten Morgen liebes Fediverse! Wir haben ein Angebot bekommen, ausgemusterte PCs zu erhalten (kein TPM2.0>Win11, aber i5 [MB 2016-18], vernünftige Grafikkarten [2020], genug RAM [16+], ggf. ohne HDD/SSD).
Allerdings wären das zu viele Geräte für uns - gerne würden wir die Rechner mit anderen gemeinnützigen Initiativen in und um #Hannover teilen (könnten auch Linux drauf spielen). Wenn ihr konkreten Bedarf habt oder um welchen wisst, schreibt uns gerne an.

Am 27.05.2025 überfuhr ein rechts in den #Bullerdeich abbiegender Lkw-Fahrer einen Radfahrer. Dieser erlitt dabei Verletzungen, denen er wenige Tage später im Krankenhaus erlag.

🖤 🕯️

Wir sind zutiefst bestürzt darüber, dass schon wieder ein*e Radfahrer*in in #Hamburg getötet wurde. Unser Mitgefühl gilt den Hinterbliebenen des Opfers.

Wir rufen auf zu einer stillen #Mahnwache:

🕕 12.06., 18 Uhr
📍 Bullerdeich/Heidenkampsweg, 20097 Hamburg

Never forget that Merz's grandfather was a full blown Nazi and #Merz is openly proud of him.

@KonstantinNotz Der Link ist ein Redirect auf Instagram. Das ist doch wohl nicht Euer Ernst diesen f*** #Meta Müll zu nutzen?

Are you ready for NO KINGS Day? All around America, we are standing up for democracy. There's a lot of events going on in the Bay Area, including our big march and rally in San Francisco. Learn all about it at https://buff.ly/oon5vkm
