Because of an automatic payment on a loan I took, I lost my grocery money and I'm $8 overdrafted. Please help me get out of overdraft to avoid a fee, I'll figure out anything else, I'm sorry. If I can get out of overdraft in 4 hours, no fee #urgentneed #mutualaid #helpsky

Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.

When @nbedera.bsky.social told USA Today her concerns, she received the reply below from Editor Carlos Frías on Oct. 2nd. "When you speak to any journalist, including those at USA TODAY, on the record, it becomes our proprietary reporting." (Email shared w/ me by Bedera and re-shared w/ consent)
Nicole,
Thank you for bringing your concerns to us about how your quotes were used in our reporting on a sensitive and
important story. We want you to know we take the facts seriously, and they steer everything we do.
From your email, I understand that you did not know your quotes could be used in other reporting. So I want to explain
further about how we work. When you speak to any journalist, including those at USA TODAY, on the record, it becomes
our proprietary reporting. When we publish your comments, they become public. Those comments can, and often will, be
quoted with proper attribution by any news outlet, including in other stories we write.
In Chris Kenning’s story, we quoted from your interview with Alyssa Goldberg. We checked with Alyssa, and she
confirmed her reporting reflects your comments accurately. Certainly, with a developing story such as this, facts are
fleshed out over time, and the comments one makes on a Monday might be outdated by Friday. When we used the
portion of Alyssa’s story, we ensured that the facts were correct as we – and you – understood them at the time we used
them in Chris Kenning’s timeline story.
More facts certainly will come out about this case that may add further context. Our timeline story was published before
The New York Times reporting you referenced in your email. As such, there's nothing to retract or correct. We may, at our
discretion, update the story and include an editor’s note, if we feel it appropriate. As a news outlet, we can only follow the
story as it develops and continue to add perspective with each new piece.
A voice like yours is important to help readers contextualize this story as we know more facts. We hope we can continue
to work together to help the public understand the important nuances of cases like these.
Sincerely,
Carlos Frías
Deputy Editor for Investigations & Storytelling

The Constitution says federal judges keep their seats “during good behaviour.” John Roberts wrote the ruling that made presidents immune from prosecution for official acts. You decide if that’s good behavior. Congress can decide if he keeps the seat.

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

This morning, the federal government turned the full force of the Department of Homeland Security against a sitting member of Congress for the offense of disagreeing with the White House.

The path to citizenship should not be weaponized against anyone, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, a naturalized American who swore an oath to this country — the same one that I took.

The promise of citizenship should not be contingent on someone agreeing with the federal government.

Repost and share ... Here is a starter list of post-election plans and demands; share often; tell your representatives what to do.
Here's what we want in clear terms:
- restoration of all damages
- seizing of all assets
- seizing of all parties, participants and/or complicit (hence, all GOP members in congress)
- rescind citizenship; reclaim passports
- permanent exile.

These demands are only a small start, but we will never tolerate fascism again. These first few demands should happen within the first 90 days.

I propose we send of this human waste to these three places, where they will never disturb anyone again:

- Johnston Atoll
- Midway Atoll
- Wake Island

And here is a starter list of who should go:
- Trump
- Vance
- Miller
- Johnson
- Blanche
- Noem
- Leavett
- Rubio
- Bessent
- Hegseth
- Burgum
- Rollins
- Lutnick
- Kennedy
- Turner
- Duffy
- Clayton
- Wright
- McMahon
- Collins
- Mullin
- Sonderling
- Greer
- Waltz
- Vought
- Zeldin
- Loeffler
- Ratcliffe
- Wiles
- Bondi
- All GOP appointees
- all GOP members of congress
- all members of ICE
