The Hound 10/14

Hi there,

It’s Tuesday. Today we’re talking about major media outlets refusing to sign the Pentagon’s new rules tightening DoD press access, how Education Department layoffs are stripping capacity from civil rights enforcement and special education oversight, and more.

We’re also tracking how big tech is enabling ICE’s surveillance overreach — amplifying state power at the expense of dissent.

🖊️ Add your name to demand that media report these collusions fearlessly and expose the systems that endanger civil liberties

Read about this, and more, with today’s stories:

Until next time,

P.S. We’re always looking for new independent and progressive media sources to spotlight in our roundups. If there’s an outlet you think would be a great addition, reply to this email with your recommendation. We’d love to hear from you!
