Law enforcement is violently targeting press at protests around Los Angeles, from easily recognizable "mainstream" outlets to freelancers and independents. ALL press have explicit legal protections in California. #JournalismIsNotACrime. This evidence thread may get graphic. 🧵👇

The danger of politicizing the National Archives—with a far-right journalist potentially in charge—cannot be overstated. It's not just about Trump seeking revenge. It's also an attempt to manipulate the country's historical records in order to censor, erase, and rewrite history itself.
