Without a link to the story one can’t really comment.
You know how to google, or not? Amy Goodman is very well know in the independent media circles.
@Jolanta It’s helpful to have a link. Some people won’t bother and hit the back button, or worse, simply comment informed only by the title.
Relying only on the user to search the internet is not ideal either. People will find different pages and comment on each one.
For me, it’s a far more simple process to copy a link and paste instead of uploading a picture of the article. Your set up may be different though.

Since when has Freedom of the press meant you could lock up reporters for doing thier job... just because you don't liek what they are reporting?
The gradual move to the right in the U.S. which has been a gradual but pretty constant move starting in the 1970's,, now has us crossing the line into Fascism.
Often going to jail brings the best results for one's cause. Jailing her could be another example of a crime against the Constitution.
Dictatorial behaviour in what should be a democracy. Unfortunately, I don't think there's a really democratic nation these days.
What crime is she being charged with?
Sorry, read below, riot, thanks.
But, she is a journalist? This is the first that I heard of this! This is grave...
She is look up democracy now with Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzales. They are independent have been for years.
If Trump has his way we will all soon be (Russian) serfs.
That’s why his special relation with Boris is so special. Boris is currently trying to push through Brexit and cancel workers rights, ( and various other important bits of legislation), but then work at replacing them after they’ve been removed...um sounds a bit scary. But people still just want Brexit to be over I’d rather they got a proper framework in place to cover the legalities lost first.

What chance do you think there is of another referendum?
@Flyingsaucesir for me this question is a bit like,
‘is there a god?’
I don’t know, but I’ll deal with it if it happens. I’ve never been asked to vote on anything as ambiguous as, should we leave Europe? before. For me there should be a vote on the proposed deal.
@girlwithsmiles
I heard that the Russians did to the Brexit referendum what they did to the 2016 US Presidential election, i.e. influenced it by furtively sowing division and discontent on social media. That's why I view Trump's office as illegitimate. I would think it is grounds for a do-over on Brexit too. You are right: it is a very complicated issue. People should be very well informed before being asked to decide. In the US, we always have another election coming up. On Brexit, it's a one-time thing, and really too important to get wrong. A do-over seems only fair.
Update: Case dismissed! On Monday, October 17, District Judge John Grinsteiner rejected the “riot” charge that had been leveled against Amy Goodman for her coverage of a September 3 Dakota Access Pipeline protest.
Yay! Thank you.
This type of suppression has been with us since the beginning over 242 years now!
As long as the wealthy and their corporations have the means and the money to stop free speech and freedom of assembly they will do so!
They can afford to bend the laws to their will and benefit!
In numbers we are greater, the problem is we are not allowed to use them legally, while the wealthy and their corporations bend the rules, the regulations, and laws at will!!!
@Fred_Snerd p
Yes!!!
If we only could!!!
According to above post, the case has been dismissed. On top of that, if you live in Australia, I would like to know why do you care that much about us, the land of the free?
Hello Nobody well look at what the toolguy says and you have your answer.
I think it should concern all humans who care about social justice, regardless of where that injustice is happening. I am rather surprised that you should think otherwise...it sounds like you’re saying if you’re not American it should be no concern of yours.
@Marionville Here is what I am saying, I could a say things about other policy on other countries as well, that doesn't give me any right to attack then in any way, shape or form. That's how I feel about it. That's all.
@IamNobody Was anyone attacking America? I think not. We are all citizens of the world and we are allowed to make comment and criticise, both our own government and foreign governments if we think they have done something wrong,...are we not?
@Marionville Yes, here is my thought process. Everyone is so quick to criticize our internal issues or whatever comes to mind. However, do I see prise when we get something right? Hardly. Just getting tired of it.
@IamNobody That may be so ...but this site is precisely for an exchange of views on a range of issues, there are no rules that say we can’t criticise foreign governments, or challenge decisions made by either foreign governments or our own. This is called debate, and when @Jolanta posted this item she was entitled to do so. You seemed angered by the fact that she was Australian, and you implied that it was none of her business, which is why I responded as I did. It is everyone’s business. If you want to paint the US government in a better light, then I suggest you find something beneficial that they are doing and post it for us to comment on.
@Marionville Agree, this site is precisely for an exchange of views. I have expressed mine.
Whistleblowers are supposed to have protection, and respect for their courage!
Whatever happened to freedom of speech and the press?
These days I think it is only Freedom of Speech, etc, IF what you ARE saying agrees 110% with Politicians, Governments and the Establishment, unfortunately.
@Triphid The USA is in a bad place now. We need to get the wise people into the voting booths to turn things around.
@BestWithoutGods Historically speaking, the U,S, has NOT been squeaky clean since after the first European Settlers arrived.
After the Natives helped stop the Settlers from dying of starvation? WHAT did the Settlers do a bit later, JUST steal the lands of the Natives, put a bounty on their heads and begin a Genocide Campaign to show their appreciation.
@Triphid True, there are many faults, both in the past and in the present. We really need to wise up and change our ways for the better.
@BestWithoutGods Case was dismissed.
@WilliamFleming What case?
@BestWithoutGods The caption says that Amy Goodman was facing jail because of her reporting. The case was thrown out almost immediately.
I realize that this is bad news for those who enjoy self-righteous anger, however we must face reality and somehow move ahead despite painful setbacks. Perhaps another case will arise.
@WilliamFleming Thanks for posting the info on the case.
@Triphid don't forget "gifting" them with blankets where smallpox suffers had died.
@WilliamFleming Whether or not the case was dismissed IT IS still showing that respect, etc, for the Indigenous Peoples of Amerikkka is still very missing and unimportant, sadly, very, very sadly.
I don’t think it ever was unless you were of white, Anglo-Celtic stock or affiliated with certain Italian connections.
Again the insidious American Dream projection at play.
The case was dismissed
