When my mom died I found this Letter to the Editor among her possessions. She’s calling out John Klein, the Town Supervisor in Smithtown LI, for his racist housing policies. I think it’s from the 1970s. It inspires me to name names, and call out BS. Don’t live afraid.
What an amazing day!!!

I love this film. @sandibachom had it all in the 1970s. She was one of the most sought-after commercial producers working with the world's biggest brands – and in deep denial as she slid into addiction. Then unemployment. Then homelessness. In search of a second act, she bought a camera and started covering the news.
At 70, Sandi received her first press pass.
She discovered her new mission – and a chance at redemption – in Charlottesville, where she covered the violent Unite the Right rally.
She is one of the most recognized independent journalists chronicling American extremism, with all the risk that entails, including broken bones and endless streams of threats.
At 82, she’s still bearing witness!

Thank you @soledadobrien for these kind words and for coming along for this ride with us. instagram.com/p/Dee87oplD5Y/…
I’m so excited for the world premiere of our new film:
“Testing Testing Sandi Bachom”, from Public Square Fims, directed by David France and Paul McGuire.
History must be recorded as it unfolds. Bearing witness matters. So does having independent journalists like Sandi Bachom on the ground, documenting events, following extremists, and ensuring their actions don’t escape public scrutiny.

I wonder why. No Real Sports. No 60 Minutes Sports. No OTL. E60 sporadic. SI and USA Today and Wa Po shells of themselves. Serious sports journalism is expensive and takes a certain skill set. Leagues in $$$$ business with networks and streamers. We’re in some very dark days.
The chasm between journalism and insiderdom has never been wider awfulannouncing.com/opinion/…

Outrageous.
Dr. Justin Ryder, a pediatric surgeon and expert at Northwestern, was booted from a conference for sharing an article on federal cuts to biomedical research.
This is the impact of Trump's administration.

Ooops too much travel/not enough sleep. Thought Susan was referring to her husband Peter Baker. Deleted.
