Trump is going to use this order against the label of ANTIFA to dramatically escalate the use of force and expand domestic spying against protesters and targeted communities inside the US. — PolitiTweet.org

@WesleyLowery @DearSplenda I agree with this. My tweet was citing a broader arc of the history of attacks and arrests of journalists and it was my error to use the word “now” for the reasons you’ve mentioned. I agree with your assessment of the timing of the shift we are discussing. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@WesleyLowery @DearSplenda I didn’t say “only now.” I said now they are doing it consistently and deliberately. I never said they haven’t done it, of course they have. I am pointing out that the attacks against corporate journalists, regularly unleashed on non-corporate journalists, are intensifying. — PolitiTweet.org

@MrNiceCrocs @WesleyLowery @DearSplenda It’s easier to pretend I said something i didn’t and then be angry about what I didn’t say. — PolitiTweet.org

@WesleyLowery @DearSplenda You believe that the majority of journalists attacked and beaten in this county at protests have been corporate media journalists? Nope. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@WesleyLowery @DearSplenda I’ve been arrested by the military, shot with rubber bullets, maced, beaten covering protests for more than 20 years. Also spent much of my adult life reporting from war zones. What are you talking about? — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@DearSplenda Vast majority of journalists arrested/attacked in US since 1999 have been non-corporate journalists, including people like @sharifkouddous of Democracy Now, arrested in Minneapolis during protests in 2008. We are now seeing widespread attacks & arrests of mainstream journalists. — PolitiTweet.org

The United States has regularly killed journalists across the world. Its police forces have consistently beaten and arrested journalists in the US. None of this started with Trump. But Trump has used his powerful platform to encourage and celebrate this violence. — PolitiTweet.org

@juan0farc I was shot with a rubber bullet at Trump’s inauguration, I was maced in Seattle, arrested in Chicago, beaten by a mob in Serbia, tear gassed in Miami and have been reporting from war zones and violent protests for 25 years. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

Police forces have regularly attacked and arrested journalists at protests in this country. But often it has been unfamous journalists from non-corporate outlets, so no one paid attention to it. Now, the police are deliberately & consistently attacking corporate journalists too. — PolitiTweet.org

@SocialistProg Show me one example of me ever praising DeBlasio. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

DeBlasio had an opportunity to be on the right side of history. Instead he chose to align himself with the brutality and injustice. He chooses to further empower the militias with badges and guns who ram SUVs into crowds of civilians. Through his actions, he stands with Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

As in most failed states, the authoritarians running the show in the US spend vast sums of money on their militias, armies, spies, weapons of war, surveillance structures and prisons while neglecting the basic needs of the people. They murder and target the most vulnerable. — PolitiTweet.org
