There are some phrases #writers should never use.
Almost unprecedented is one of the worst. An event either has a precedent or it doesn't.

A new wave of #AI #enshittification is now targeting #journalists. #Expert voices are needed, #experts should be quoted. And people don't want to quote Twitter so often anymore.
Problem: these experts don't exist. Pure #LLM fantasy. Journalist request services specialise on this lucrative "service".

#Israel targets #children so the children won't grow up to "become Hamas." (in Israel's eyes.)
Israel targets #women so they can't bear more children.
See above.
Israel targets #doctors and #medics so more #Palestinians will die.
See above.
Israel targets #journalists so their #WarCrimes and #genocide will not be documented.
See above.
And the World sits on our collective ass and does fuck-all about it, letting Israel get away with it, just like we've done for the past 75+ years.

Will anyone with a microphone and access to the administration ask:
Why is it necessary for ICE agents and others supporting MAGA's program of mass deportation to hide their faces with masks and full head coverings?
Why are these raids and roundups being conducted by what can reasonably be described as a secret police force?
This looks to every normal person like an effort to avoid accountability and operate with impunity. Is it?

He had a profession: Journalism
He was a father
He supported his family
Doctors tried to save him
Israel burned him alive. As they've done to countless others.

Foreign Journalists at US-Backed Media Fear Being Sent to Repressive Homelands After Trump's Cuts
> After hiding in #Thailand for seven years, two Cambodian #journalists arrived in the United States last year on work visas, aiming to keep providing people in their Southeast Asian homeland with objective, factual news through #RadioFreeAsia

If you know any #journalists ask them to pitch an article about US #news outlets which are choosing not to mention the #handsoff events.
Looking at you, #washingtontimes - I mean come on, do you think your readers might see 100,000 people in the streets and think "there must be a sale on somewhere?"

@randahl mic drops are from Obama's era. To do a mic drop, you need an audience who understands what a mic drop is. If all we have is a high number of #MAGA fanatics, a murder of people formally known as #journalists, #democrats who find a backbone only when they can kick Reps in the shins and hide away, and a majority of apathetic denizens, there is no micdrop. Just a gigantic thump and unbearable feedback, with a lonely childlike clap at the back.
