Ombudsman column: The Pentagon is trying to silence me

Excerpt
Since his “refocus” post, I’ve been outspoken in my columns, media interviews, talks with national free press groups and communications with Congress about the Pentagon’s moves to take control of Stripes’ content. This administration reveals policy through social media so Parnell’s post had to be taken seriously. On the same day as the X post, the Pentagon rescinded the process in the Code of Federal Regulations that would have given Stripes legal protection from interference. Their move is illegal because there was no opportunity for public comment as required through the Administrative Procedures Act, among other violations. This sounds dry, but it’s important.

ICE made their neighbors ‘prisoners in their own homes’. So 130 Memphis residents signed up to deliver food

Excerpt
But the community rose to meet the challenge. Initially they had nearly a dozen people who volunteered as delivery drivers; now they have about 130. One volunteer built an app to help make the process smoother for people working on the logistics side. “The pantry is really the truest example of a community effort,” Hampton said. “People from all across the community, different walks of life, different religions, different ethnicities – everyone came together to make this happen.”
