great story. thanks for your reporting
Thanks so much to @danimcclain.bsky.social for this powerful, heartbreaking piece and for highlighting some of the work I have been fortunate to do with my wonderful collaborators at BU on the staggering disparities in exposure to firearm violence that Black children face in this country --
Deaths by suicide are increasing at a faster rate for Black children and young adults than for any other racial or ethnic group. I looked at the city where I'm raising a tween to find out why www.thenation.com/article/soci...
I spent months talking to families, therapists, youth advocates and scholars about youth mental health. Turns out focusing on screens and social media doesn’t adequately address what’s happening in the lives of Black adolescents. My latest for @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...
Milbank’s column somehow passed muster and ran—even though that required the highly unusual step of it being submitted to the publisher for review. Eugene Robinson followed, with a subtle column on the new documentary about Katharine Graham; the column made no reference to Bezos, but its paeans to Graham’s courage in the face of Richard Nixon’s threats evoked an implicit comparison with the current owner and his relationship with Trump. Our media critic, Erik Wemple, was less fortunate. His straightforward column disagreeing with the Bezos announcement—I read it in our internal system, and found it perfectly reasonable—never ran.
In Ruth Marcus' new column for The New Yorker in which she unveils the Washington Post column that was rejected and led to her resignation, she points out that the paper's media critic Erik Wemple also had a piece disagreeing with Bezos' new opinion mandate nixed.

I did this just now and it worked.
For a third straight day, an AP reporter was blocked from attending an Oval Office event, I'm told.
Associated Press: “Today we were informed by the White House that if AP did not align its editorial standards with President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, AP would be barred from accessing an event in the Oval Office.“
A coalition of news organizations said in a court filing that video exhibits from a Jan. 6 riot case had "disappeared" from a government platform that provided access to evidence used in court.
Sincere props to a colleague who very obviously is doing his job well.

BREAKING: Judge Deborah Boardman of the U.S. District Court of Maryland granted a nationwide preliminary injunction blocking the implementation of the Trump administration's executive order on birthright citizenship. The order, she ruled, conflicts with the plain language of the 14th Amendment.
The American College of OB/GYN’s website is now hosting the critical documents purged by the CDC

maybe 250 words describing status
250-ish social justice words
smaller text -- 400 words on social justice and gender?
And another 150 or so on race
The number of people surprised by the long list of words NSF is targeting makes me think many of you all have not seen this: www.commerce.senate.gov/services/fil...
Trans folks, if any of these new orders are impacting your life, we at @19thnews.org want to know. DM me. Tell me if your medical appointments are canceled. If your documents are seized. Help us find the news

This is a big deal, y'all. Federal health websites are being stripped of content or removed in their entirety. Stick with this thread for a look at what's disappeared so far! 1/x
