SAVE America Act Designed to Doom Americans — Assigned A nasty piece of legislation that failed to pass last year has been reborn, nastier than before, and the president really wants it to pass.

The President of the United States wants to sweeten a voter suppression bill with a bit of that sweet, sweet trans genocide.

@alyssaur.bsky.social takes on the SAVE act, this morning on Assigned Media.

I think this story is a really good example for people to look at when it comes to understanding bias at NYT. It's not that the reporter, Dana Rubinstein, says anything outright false. But the framing, word choices, etc., add up to an unprofessional and biased account.

let's just say... my interest is piqued. Do not tell me more

I don’t think people who aren’t regularly covering the reproductive rights beat realize how common it is for women to be incarcerated for miscarriages.

My mom got out of the hospital after being stuck under debris for 2 hours when a roof collapsed in the building she was in.

If y’all could donate to my venmo I’d really appreciate it so I can help her pay her bills.

good lort i could have dead...

i hate processed food *eats peanut butter*

My name is Marisa Kabas, and I'm an independent journalist who publishes The Handbasket. I'm reaching out about a matter that involves your team and that continues to trouble me. In June of last year, Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and I filed a FOIA lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan Police Department to compel them to release body camera footage from the March 17, 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace. What followed was months of back and forth with their lawyers, arguing why it was in the public interest to release the un-redacted footage in its entirety. Though tiny segments were handed over, that wasn't enough: We wanted all of it.  On February 18, 2026, a DC judge ruled in our favor, and your reporter Mark Segraves sent a kind note of congratulations that day. Then on Monday, March 2nd, the footage was handed over to me and excitedly announced I'd received it and would be reviewing it in the coming days and sharing what I learned. When Segraves emailed me this past Thursday asking for my phone number, I didn't think much of it. But when he called me just before 2pm on Friday to let me know NBC4 Washington would be airing a segment at 5pm, I grew concerned.  Segraves said he'd obtained some of the footage via a FOIA request that week after he heard the footage had been released to me. He said he'd credit the work of RCFP and me, but it was little comfort. I asked if he'd known the day before when he emailed me for my number, why didn't he tell me then? He didn't have a good answer for that. He acknowledged all the hard work I'd done getting this footage released. I asked him if he could hold the story until Monday, to which he replied that he's "not just a blogger" (implying that that's all I am, presumably) and that he'd have to check with his editor. I said fine. Nearly an hour later he called back to say his editor refused to hold the story, but that they were happy to interview me via Zoom to add to the package, and I said I would.

What followed was two hours of furiously writing and posting clips of the footage to Youtube so I could get something published before the 5pm broadcast, and in the midst of that, recording a quick Zoom interview with a person who was about to take credit for my work. At 4:59pm ET, The Handbasket published a piece titled "Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid." Then I tuned into NBC4 Washington via your website to catch the broadcast, and my instinct to rush to get something out first was proven right.  "It's a story you're seeing first on News4," your newscast began. "For the first time we're getting an inside look at what happened the day the Trump administration took over the US Institute of Peace. News4 obtained more than four hours of police body camera video from that day." What followed was more than six minutes of clips and commentary from Segraves, but it's not until six minutes and 21 seconds into the piece that he mentions my name (mispronounced though he asked for the correct pronunciation on Zoom), "The Handbasket blog," and the RCFP's foundational role in bringing this footage to light. I was angry, but didn't feel there was much I could do. Then I saw the version NBC4 posted to Instagram and TikTok—the video itself made ZERO mention of the RCFP or my work, only briefly acknowledging it in the written caption on Instagram, and not even bothering to do that on TikTok. An average viewer with no background on the case is lead to believe that this footage was released because of your efforts. When I saw that, I decided I couldn't let this go. It's difficult to explain what it's like to spend nearly a year working on a story only to have another reporter and outlet surreptitiously take credit for it; months of work and personal risk only to have another reporter lying in wait to swoop in. What NBC4 did was immoral, unethical, and to be frank, just truly sucked.

I just sent this email to the news director at NBC4 Washington about the unprofessional and disrespectful way they handled publishing the body camera footage of the DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace that was obtained via my FOIA lawsuit:

just become ageless and undying king

i was at all hours of the day and then i removed social media from my phone and only log in on my computer a couple times a day to do a quick scroll and my mental health immediately improved. we simply were not built to Know as much as we know now.

FINISH THE JOB

praying for the tonic clonic of all time frankly

Even if you are 100% convinced that Democracy is already dead and our votes won't count...
PLEASE VOTE ANYWAY!
I'm begging everyone. There is a critical mass of voter turnout that will be too big to fix.
Please vote, no matter how bleak it seems.

lol crazy work being civil and agreeable with this person and not me. I wonder if there's some specific trait about me that inflamed you so much when I was extremely even in my initial posts. curious. very interesting. wonder what's up with that.

kamala harris, who I voted for, failed to win the election, or even make any particular effort to so. yes, I would say she is the last stop on the Prevent Fascism Express, and she completely fucked it. I did not elect Donald Trump, I don't know why you freaks always assume I didn't vote.

they're murdering people in the streets and gearing up to put people like me in camps and eradicate us and you think the most productive response is calling donald trump a butt and arguing for a candidate who lost and a political strategy that will continue losing. please grow the fuck up.

LOLOL

your bio is a "trump is a butt" joke and you disregarded three pretty factual statements about what led us to this moment to ask if i'm 20 and dumb, so consider looking in a mirror if you're trying to find stupid children. or take a brisk walk into traffic, either works.

really love everybody just recreating the exact argument that's had every single time anybody tries to legislatively end DST while insisting it's an incredibly simple problem that can easily be fixed 😭

addendum: far more people than Alex Pretti and Renee Good have been murdered by ICE (through inhumane detention or outright just gunning them down), and would still be alive... if Kamala Harris won... which was her job, as a politician and presidential hopeful. which she failed at.

yeah and then she spent all afternoon misgendering a trans woman and refusing to apologize to her for it lmaoo "erm actually i'm nonbinary and have a wife" doing so much heavy lifting in place of actual allyship

also frankly she probably still won and could have become president if she contested swing states instead of conceding the nanosecond she was allowed to lol. so also like, fuck that no good piece of shit, frankly.

i don't think anybody is arguing that a President Harris would have been exactly as bad as what's happening now, but she started with a MASSIVE lead on Trump, then said "don't worry guys, it's me, Joe Biden but a Black lady" and then she plummeted and lost the election. obvious message there.
