Journalists in Uvalde and Buffalo have faced absolutely unacceptable threats of arrest and harassment from police while covering the aftermath of the mass shootings. https://t.co/eP5SswHJ5O — PolitiTweet.org

Nine years ago today, we learned from @guardian that the whistleblower behind one of the most significant leaks in US political history was @Snowden. https://t.co/hbn4AEYGpU — PolitiTweet.org

Metadata comes in handy sometimes, like when you’re flipping through old pictures by date or location. But in the wrong hands, this same information could be damaging. https://t.co/6RlT27rTJI — PolitiTweet.org

@StateDept "They were shooting directly at the journalists." Read CNN's damning investigation into the killing of Shireen Abu Akleh. "Eyewitnesses told CNN that they believe Israeli forces on the same street fired deliberately on the reporters in a targeted attack." https://t.co/YnhfrmfNjX — PolitiTweet.org

Freedom of the Press @FreedomofPress

Senators call on the @StateDept to conduct a “full and transparent investigation” into the killing of Palestine journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, who was shot in the head by Israeli forces while wearing a PRESS jacket last month. https://t.co/9xgLZVf4KO — PolitiTweet.org

@rcfp Disturbingly, “stripping reporters of that recourse” and “inviting officials to punish the press for performing its constitutional function” is exactly what the Supreme Court did today. https://t.co/EHpZrJCuTe — PolitiTweet.org

Freedom of the Press @FreedomofPress

@rcfp “A damages remedy for retaliation is both workable and indispensable to the enforcement of First Amendment rights. To strip reporters of that recourse ... would invite officials to punish the press for performing its constitutional function.” https://t.co/0WMLpyFlgW — PolitiTweet.org

Freedom of the Press @FreedomofPress

Back in January, we signed onto this important @rcfp brief calling on the Supreme Court to preserve reporters’ rights to seek damages after retaliation from federal officials. Today’s disappointing ruling guts that right. https://t.co/0WMLpyFlgW — PolitiTweet.org

Freedom of the Press @FreedomofPress

This is a terrible precedent for journalists who have faced retaliation from federal officials and have sued to protect their First Amendment rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Incredibly worrying: Veteran journalist and longtime @Guardian contributor Dom Phillips has gone missing in the Brazilian Amazon while researching a book. He had reportedly received threats just days before vanishing. https://t.co/PIvzNtdWy4 — PolitiTweet.org

This is an incredibly dangerous tactic that will put the lives of journalists at risk in future situations. It deserves to be condemned and banned by police departments everywhere. https://t.co/1KSL7TGftk — PolitiTweet.org

@Newsweek “These kinds of practices limit access to public information and can make it harder for journalists to do their jobs,” LA Times reporter @ConnorASheets, who covered the Buffalo mass shooting, told the @uspresstracker. https://t.co/ZRV20sf5ZO — PolitiTweet.org

From @Newsweek: Uvalde police reportedly asked members of biker groups to keep journalists “in line” during a funeral. A board member of Guardians of Children denied the group obstructed anyone or that they were asked to be there by law enforcement. https://t.co/ZRV20rXuBe — PolitiTweet.org
