This series is meant to support civil society organisations, trade unions, workers, activists, academics, small businesses, and journalists fighting back.

#JimmyLai, the #HongKong pro-#democracy #media mogul who spent decades as a defiant thorn in Beijing’s side, was sentenced on Monday to 20 years in prison, the harshest penalty ever handed down for a “national security” offense in the semiautonomous territory.

The landmark ruling completes a yearslong effort by Beijing to dismantle the influence of a man it blamed for masterminding Hong Kong’s pro-democracy movement.

Journalist Don Lemon has been arrested after he covered a Minnesota church protest.

@AssociatedPress reports: "It is unclear what charge or charges Lemon and the others are facing in the Jan. 18 protest at the Cities Church in St. Paul."

yup

#corporate "#journalism"

we are on #mastodon/ #fediverse because the profit motive in corporate #socialMedia means privacy defilement, free reign for bigotry/ ignorance, and #algorithm manipulation by #plutocracy agendas

the same applies to the #news #media:

#ventureCapital takes over dying traditional media outlets and puts right wing goons in the managing editor positions

we have nonprofit news (#NPR, #ProPublica, #TheGuardian, etc)

trust them

all else: beware

It's hard to work on a live stream in the current situation. Editors at the news desk have nearly no time when news are exploding. I therefore like the Guardian's small comment to Macron's words: "But we do prefer respect [over] bullies … and we do prefer rule of law [over] brutality.
You’re welcome in Europe, and you are more than welcome to France.”

Guardian editor: "Erm.
Anyone in particular you’re targeting your words at, Emmanuel?" 😂
