A thread with gratitude to @mashagessen @nytimes for covering the corporate complicity verdict against LaFarge this week & for the chance to discuss how corporate enabling (incl., now, by BigTech) is key to preventing mass atrocities. Gift link: nytimes.com/2026/04/17/opini…
Really excellent piece by @EvelynAswad @just_security All of us who have seen “business and human rights reporting” by social media companies (including many repeat players now in AI) are experiencing déjà-vu right now justsecurity.org/161488/fron…

I’m digesting the #ICC sanctions news from Dubrovnik, at a convening on mass atrocity prevention. The legacy of atrocities is literally etched into the landscape.

Today, the Trump Administration is sanctioning the ICC.
This action should encourage our Allies within the Court to work for solutions to end this threat to U.S. sovereignty forever.
#ICC statement: No one should be punished for serving the cause of justice. History will judge this moment. Future generations, and above all the victims of mass atrocities, will ask how we responded when an institution created to protect them came under attack.

In a statement seen by Reuters, Secretary Rubio calls the ICC a "rogue" court and says Washington is acting to cut off its resources and cripple its ability to function. "President Trump will never allow the International Criminal Court to prosecute Americans," Rubio says.

SCOOP: President Donald Trump's administration is announcing sanctions TODAY on the International Criminal Court, just hours after one of its former judges won the Nobel Peace Prize, a severe step in its year-long pressure campaign to dismantle the court W/@steveholland1
And another great #solidarity example from journalists today - this time, print media: wapo.st/4rLEmBf
Serious kudos due here as TV pool resumes today with CNN back in place. Solidarity is tough to sustain in a competitive environment, but they did it: justsecurity.org/158868/trum…

🔥 LFG! Real America's Voice has TAKEN OVER the pool coverage from fake news outlets like CNN, on the ground at Joint Base Andrews RIGHT NOW to follow President Trump aboard Air Force One
"CNN is NOT HERE. WE have taken over that responsibility. Our crew is growing. Going onto Air Force One is an honor and pleasure."
@RealAmVoice says ANY NETWORK can use the pool feed
Trump is MOMENTARILY taking off for the Texas-Tennessee game.

The Trump administration allowed CNN to resume its TV pool coverage duties Friday, capping a whirlwind week of restrictions being imposed and lifted after President Donald Trump banned the network, MS NOW and Politico from the White House.

Journalists are showing solidarity in the face of President Trump's effort to ban select media outlets from the White House.
Professor @bechamilton on their collective action and what it means:

Over the past week, the Washington press corps has offered a masterclass in effective collective action. The power of solidarity to resist Trump's assaults on democracy justsecurity.org/158868/trum… @kaitlancollins @gardnerakayla @brianstelter

Despite the court order overnight, CNN, MS NOW and Politico reporters are still being blocked from entering the White House grounds today. Yet for Xi’s visit, members of the Chinese state media are present.
They have now all filed a notice of Trump administration's non-conpliance with the court: courtlistener.com/docket/748…
CNN, MSNOW and Politico all being turned away from the White House this morning in defiance of the Court's order to immediately reinstate their hard passes.

Bryan Boughton, who runs the Fox News Washington bureau and is the current TV pool chair, says in an email; ”This is to advise that, effective today, the TV pool will not be covering events designated as pool coverage of the President.”
“This follows the White House’s position preventing CNN from fulfilling its assigned pool duties. There will be no replacement pool put in place.” Via @brianstelter

Yesterday, ABC & parent co. Disney sued the FCC. It marks the solidifcation of a shift in strategy by the media giant, from capitulation to resistance, in the face of Trump admin attacks on #freespeech My latest #freepress tracker update @just_security justsecurity.org/112792/trum…

Thank you. I’m grateful. But this is a pattern. BigTech releases “innovative product” / ppl who work with vulnerable populations generate needed outcry on its danger / BigTech - in best case scenario - presses pause. BigTech needs ppl to spot these issues in advance.
Re: our statement on Image Generation in Google Earth:
“We know that people uniquely trust Google Earth for a reliable view of the world. We’ve seen geospatial professionals using this feature for a range of useful purposes, however we’ve also seen people sharing screenshots of generated imagery that appear to violate our policies. So we’re rolling back this feature in Google Earth while we work on implementing stronger guardrails. It's important to note that generated images didn’t appear in the main Google Earth experience for others to see and were watermarked as AI generated.”
