Laura Loomer's racist comments about @angieforfl.bsky.social give me a chance to once again point out that Loomer has had an active account on Cameo forever, and Cameo is one of the ways that racist bigots like Loomer generate revenue. Cameo knows this and happily shares in the profits.

The story of two former NBA players declaring themselves eligible for the WNBA, in an effort to get the league to define gender, reminds me of a moderation situation that popped up while I was working at CNN.

We all know how pervasive bad information is on the internet. But even as someone with a strong filter, due to my career, it is still astonishing to me when I am forcefully served bad information based on what I have been searching. Here's a recent example.

"[Don Lemon] went into the facility, and then he began 'committing journalism,' as if that's sort of a shield from being an embedded part of a criminal conspiracy. ... Nobody should think in the US that they’re going to be able to get away with [committing journalism]." -Harmeet Dhillon, DOJ

STATEMENT FROM ABBE LOWELL, ATTORNEY FOR DON LEMON

Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards. Don has been a journalist for 30 years, and his constitutionally protected work in Minneapolis was no different than what he has always done. The First Amendment exists to protect journalists whose role it is to shine light on the truth and hold those in power accountable. There is no more important time for people like Don to be doing this work.

Instead of investigating the federal agents who killed two peaceful Minnesota protesters, the Trump Justice Department is devoting its time, attention and resources to this arrest, and that is the real indictment of wrongdoing in this case. This unprecedented attack on the First Amendment and transparent attempt to distract attention from the many crises facing this administration will not stand. Don will fight these charges vigorously and thoroughly in court.
