Journalists have always been on the front lines of the struggle for democracy. That’s why we need to keep standing up for the rights of journalists around the world. Grateful that we have @ColumbiaJourn and people like Jelani Cobb taking on this important work.
This World Press Freedom Day, take a look at @BarackObama's remarks at the @ColumbiaJourn Faultlines: Democracy conference, and why the free press is vital for democracy to survive and thrive.

I can't think of anything more fitting on #WorldPressFreedomDay than advocating for my WSJ colleague Evan Gershkovich, who has been wrongfully detained. We stand with Evan today and every day. Let him come home. #IStandWIthEvan #JournalismIsNotACrime #FreeEvan

Honored by this great recognition for last year's project managed by yours truly. War Crimes Watch, Ukraine (aka Putin's Attack on Ukraine) won the Grand Prize for text and our documentary film won the International Television category: x.com/RFKHumanRights/status/…

SO thrilled with this recognition today. While my name isn't on the award due to limits on how many people can be listed, @alikodjakAP gave me such a nice shout-out here for "managing the whole shebang."
This is a huge honor -- thank you.

Reporters Without Borders: Ukrainian photojournalist Maks Levin and soldier with him appear to have been “coldly executed” early in the war as they searched Russian-occupied woods for a missing camera drone. 14 bullet holes found in the burned hulk of their car. @RCFP @RSFUSA

Russian journalist Roman Anin spoke to VICE World News about being exiled and labelled a “foreign agent” for daring to expose Putin’s regime. Even posting a heart emoji or liking a comment without disclosing his status could see him locked up. trib.al/Jgj3dCO

Can algorithms help save a child? Social workers are asking as agencies across the U.S. weigh using data-driven tools to help decide which families to investigate. @_sallyho @garanceburke found new research shows the tools may harden racial disparities. apne.ws/q0kPHuT

I think we should all remember those law firms, banks, registration agents and others that helped enable Putin and his inner circle. Swiss bankers? There is blood today on your hands. We need to get rid of the criminal services industry. They make autocracies possible.

In an @janawinter story today: DOMEX, a program that collects information from … a person’s electronic device when they cross a U.S. border. The …program sweeps up everything from phone contacts and emails to the contents from encrypted messaging apps and social media.
Twitter informs me I’m sharing an article I haven’t read on twitter. Let the record show I read it elsewhere. All the way to the end.
When I learned the federal government reviewed my travel, banking, email, phone information without cause, my greatest concern was for our democracy. Operation Whistle Pig: Inside the secret CBP unit with no rules that investigates Americans news.yahoo.com/operation-whi…
