Vera found that DHS agents fired tear gas, rubber bullets, pepper balls at people who were clearly marked as journalists. “The First Amendment demands better,” he wrote in a preliminary injunction. washingtonpost.com/business/…

Last night a federal judge in L.A. blocked federal agents from DHS from using crowd-dispersal techniques and less-lethal munitions against journalists covering protests. He cited an “avalanche of evidence” that ICE and CBP agents violated First Amendment rights of journalists.

“The blood of journalists is quite literally being spilled in our streets. And the companies that employ these journalists are telling them to put a sock in it.” Watch @LAPressClub's @adjoro explain why this is not just a press freedom issue — but a labor issue too.

Barring press from talking about facing abuse allows officers to act with impunity. If you've encountered this, @uspresstracker can record your experience anonymously. Contact our senior reporter: stephanie.sugars@proton.me or stephanie_sugars.61 (Signal) youtu.be/DOUI5404rQ0?t=4224

JOURNALISTS IN LOS ANGELES: Any safety gear you need to cover protests? I've been researching appropriate ratings (z87 goggles, p100 filters, level iiia soft armor) and will seek donations/discounts to LA Press Club, esp. to help freelance/independent with limited budget.

I had a few things to say on TV today about why the Los Angeles Press Club reached this point where we had to sue over LAPD's misconduct toward journalists. Thank you Spectrum News 1 for shining a spotlight on important civic issues in our community. spectrumnews1.com/ca/souther…

Today @lapressclub and @StatusCoup sued LAPD for use of force against reporters. "With today’s lawsuit, [LAPC] is fighting for the rights of all of its nearly 1,000 members to report the news without risking their health and safety,” said @adjoro: firstamendmentcoalition.org/…

In 2021, I made a slideshow from 50 incidents of police misconduct toward journalists. It covered all CA over 12 month period. Legislature responded w/new laws to protect press. I made a new one. It's bigger. It's worse. And it's just one week in LA. docs.google.com/presentation…
