#VoiceOfAmerica [#VOA] #Journalists Face Investigations for #Trump Comments
The broadcaster placed a longtime journalist on leave amid growing concerns about its editorial *independence*.
VOA, the federally funded [for 83 yrs] broadcaster to the world, has long prided itself on serving as an accurate & fair source of news & on being #independent….
Since the election of #Trump, that #independence is increasingly being tested.

Members of #Trump’s admin have criticised #Romania, an #EU & #NATO member state, …w/ US VP, #JDVance, saying it showed that Romania did not share American values.
Vance said that the ruling [to annul the Dec election] was based on “flimsy suspicions” & made under “enormous pressure” from Romania’s neighbours. #ElonMusk has also labelled the chief judge of the court a “tyrant”.
…Romania PM Marcel Ciolacu said, “The #judiciary is #independent & the #law must be applied regardless of persons.”
A federal judge on Friday deferred ruling on the #DOJ’s request to drop the #corruption case against Mayor #EricAdams of #NYC, & appointed an outside lawyer to present #independent arguments on the motion, which was otherwise unopposed.
The lawyer the judge appointed, #PaulClement, is a political #conservative who was the US solicitor general during President George W. Bush’s admin.
Judge in #EricAdams Case Appoints Lawyer to Argue Against Dropping of Charges
Judge Dale E. Ho said that with #NYC’s mayor & federal prosecutors agreeing to end the case, he needed to hear #independent arguments.

Dellinger leads an #independent agency charged w/ #safeguarding government #WhistleBlowers & enforcing certain #ethics laws. The position is unrelated to special counsels appointed by the #DOJ.
“This court should not allow lower courts to seize #ExecutivePower by dictating to the president how long he must continue employing an agency head against his will,” the administration’s filing said.
I am also unfashionably late to the party regarding this new banger from @meljoann.

President Donald Trump fired the inspectors general from more than a dozen #federal #agencies in a #FridayNightPurge, according to a Trump administration official, paving the way for him to install his own #picks for the #independent #watchdog roles.
Hi Everybody!

It’s a very special place and I’m glad to be back. “Mastodon Forever - Where The Gentle People Are”.

Hello #psytrance fans!
Meta platforms are dying, and we're changing focus on where we will promote our music in the future.
#fediverse is one of the places which we will consider a new home!
As our first Appearance let us present our Various Artists compilation from 2025 - Human Spectrum Volume 3

'#Huge #problems' with #Instagram and #Facebook #changes, says #oversightboard.
The #cochair of the #independent #body that reviews Facebook and Instagram has said she is "very concerned" about sweeping changes to what #content is allowed on the platforms and how its #moderated.
Welcome to 2025!
15 years ago today I began posting notes on my own #indieweb site first, and only later on #socialMedia: https://tantek.com/2010/001/t1/declaring-independence-building-it
You can too.
I am once again encouraging you start the year with:
1. Getting a personal domain name
2. Posting on your own site first, then syndicating elsewhere: #POSSE
In 2025 there are even more neighborhoods with other people’s garages¹ to post into. Companies, servers, services, disappear all the time, taking all their posts and permalinks with them to graveyard 404².
This is your annual reminder to embrace #independent ownership of your online self, your creations, and their #longevity:
* Own your domain -> own your online identity
* Own your permalinks -> own your posts
Want help? Just ask: https://chat.indieweb.org/
#ownYourContent #ownYourData
Once again I am restarting a #100PostsOfIndieWeb #100Posts project for the year.
This is post 1.
