An under-reported catastrophe for independent media around the globe. Thanks to Joel Simon for underscoring.
What the end of US foreign assistance to independent media has wrought.! 🦋

Can’t wait to get Obi back
As chair of the North American Committee of the International Press Institute, I speak for myself and for my colleagues in voicing outrage at the unjustified arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort for the crime of covering a demonstration. This has been an outrageous abuse of media freedoms.
We experienced such pushback at the AP, even though we would explain that the figures were backed by documentation, had
proved reliable in past conflicts and aligned with what journalists could observe. Casualty statistics are disputed in every war, so showing the sourcing transparently is vital.
Bernice King has it absolutely right. We are facing a moral crisis in this country. And we must all act together to end it.
I did 74 miles in the hills of Columbia County NY in the Roe-Jan Ramble at age 72. Beautiful September weather and country all around.
This is an important initiative. Thank you to Bard, PEN America and my wife, Dru Menaker, for helping make it reality. As governments try to kill independent media, Kronika will keep their seeds alive for the future.
A new digital platform is being established to preserve the archives of news outlets that have been shut down or are facing extinction in authoritarian countries. The platform, a joint project of PEN America and Bard College, is called Kronika apnews.com/article/cens...
Congratulations to the great David McCraw on winning CPJ's Gwen Ifill Press Freedom Award. Can't think of anyone doing more today to defend the First Amendment. Read his eloquent speech here on the need for an independent media: www.nytco.com/press/david-...
This is one of Susan’s finest pieces ever
Powerful sign at No Kings in Cleveland
I met Pavel today at RFERL HQ in Prague. He is leading his Russia news team in the face of uncertainly. A lovely photo of Alsuk graces the wall from the day she was freed. They are just two of the extraordinary journalists of @RFERL working every day to bring truth to repressive countries. Bravo!!!
Excellent idea
Here is a reporter who deserves to be remembered.

More than 100 writers, journalists, and scholars call for the immediate release of Mario Guevara, the only journalist detained in the U.S. today for doing his job—and now facing imminent deportation. Share the letter and join the call to #FreeMario: pen.org/press-releas...
The Enduring Welcome Act + the Afghan Adjustment Act = end-to-end protection.

Well done, Anne and Lynsey, putting a spotlight on this under-covered tragedy.
The archbishop of Łódź has condemned recent “hate and fear” expressed towards refugees and migrants in Poland.
"Catholic teaching clearly states that every person has the right to choose a place to live and to be respected in that place for their beliefs and culture."
One of the greatest international correspondents of
our time. He was remarkably driven, consistent and courageous over decades even as the technology and industry were changing.
Although many hoped otherwise, we do not seem to be returning to a world in which the center left and the center right compete over tax rates or budgets. Every election is now existential

The BBC will launch a Polish-language news website next month.
It says BBC News Polska will “deliver independent and impartial news” and “help counter a wave of disinformation in the region”.
“For anyone who thinks the Associated Press’s lawsuit against President Trump’s White House is about the name of a body of water, think bigger. It’s really about whether the government can control what you say.” www.wsj.com/opinion/the-...
A valuable perspective from one who knows …
Jeremy and colleagues, Many deals I work on have concepts of conditional notice. This is mine. Please consider this email my two week notice, revocable if the firm comes up with a satisfactory response to the current moment, which should include at minimum (i) signing on to the firm amicus brief in support of Perkins Coie in its litigation fighting the Trump administration's executive order against it, ii) committing to broad future representation, regardless of whether powerful people view it as adverse to them, (iii) refusal to cooperate with the EEOC's request for personal information of our colleagues clearly targeted at intimidating non-white employees, (iv) public refusal to fire or otherwise force out employees at the Trump administration's directive or implied directive and (v) public commitment to maintenance of affinity groups and related initiatives. This is not what I saw for my career or for my evening, but Paul Weiss' decision to cave to the Trump administration on DEl, representation and staffing has forced my hand. We do not have time. It is now or it is never, and if it is never, I will not continue to work here.
Tonight, hours after the Paul Weiss news broke, an associate at Skadden Arps sent a firm-wide email:
"Please consider this email my two week notice, revocable if the firm comes up with a satisfactory response to the current moment...We do not have time. It is now or it is never..."
‘Reeks of McCarthyism’: outrage after Ice detains Palestinian student activist
Poland knows well the consequences when great powers debate its fate without having a voice in the discussion.
Polish Nobel Peace Prize winner Lech Wałęsa and 38 other former political prisoners of Poland's communist regime have condemned Donald Trump's treatment of Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday, which they said reminded them of communist interrogation techniques
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk responds, something we hopefully see a lot more of that from other European leaders. It's never been clearer than in this moment that Trump is Putin's ally, not Europe's.
