/4"The sinister and toxic avalanche of propaganda we saw over the past 48 hours. It’s not a rush to judge, but to punish, intimidate, inflame, and cower everyone from immigrants to local law enforcement to state elected officials to common citizens.

Both times their actions were recorded on video cameras. Both times, government spokesmen made false statements, directly contradicting the video evidence."

"With what amounts to civil war raging in the United States, we desperately need clear, fearless truth-telling that doesn’t pull its punches and doesn’t hand a megaphone to lies and propaganda in the name of supposed fairness."
