"The fact that independent media now has such a great burden to carry is both our privilege, our obligation, and a sad commentary on what's happened to the legacy media. Now, I want to point something out, the dog that did not bark."

"When the Washington Post reporter's home was searched, her computer, her phone were seized, and The owner of the Washington Post, Jeff Bezos, said nothing. He still has said nothing. This is the reaction you get from legacy media when their reporters are abused."

"It’s about intimidating journalists & attempting to make them censure themselves out of fear of consequences, which can be very expensive, especially for an independent journalist who lacks the backing of a major company. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism."
~ Joyce Vance

"As Americans watch in horror as immigration goons are jailing innocent kids and killing U.S. citizens who dare to exercise their constitutional rights, President Donald Trump is flooding the zone with so much chaotic and horrific news in an effort to overwhelm the public."

"Trump has employed the chaos strategy for years, doing so many awful things all at once so his political opponents can’t craft a message to address it all or successfully organize to stop his obvious wrongs.
But it’s especially terrifying now, as the strategy is an effort to get away with literal murder, financial heist, and election rigging."

"Authoritarian systems do not begin by jailing everyone. They begin by isolating voices. They begin by making examples. They begin by teaching the public that speaking up carries a cost.
And journalists are always near the top of that list.
Why?
Because journalists give voice to the people."
