This is horrible. Is this not a violation of the right to a free press? @POTUS @ACLU
"[Police] have closed in the press and they are ID'ing everybody and taking pictures with a cell phone." After photojournalist @JonFarinaPhoto was nearly apprehended, a Minnesota Lieutenant told him that they are using an APP to track press and all of their notes. #DaunteWright

The only free press capitalism allows is the one that faithfully regurgitates the handouts the police, State Dept & the Oligarchs distribute. No questions, no data, no alternative. Just do as your told.

There is no Free Press in a Police State and the USA is a Police State

Biden has probably never used Twitter in his life but I get why you'd tag him.
Since everyone has a phone, suddenly press credentials become important - but only if the police agrees. The actual press is basically turned into an embedded press corps supposed to do cheer-leading for police. Anyone else dare not report. It's the new "freedom of the press".

And everyone laughed at me..Called me a "Conspiracy Theorist" when I said the Police Force is a Branch of the Military Industrial Complex . A protector of the 1% and the mainstream media. What is so different than Trump?

Yes. Judge ordered an injunction today. I was proud my union, @newsguild, was part of the lawsuit with the @ACLU and others.
