#women #woman #art #artstr WHEN ONE WOMAN SCREAMS All women listen. All women hear that scream and feel it twist their gut. But what about when those women are silenced, in fear, in hiding, in hell? When that one woman cannot scream any longer, we all must scream for her. When the images stop coming and the news dies down, we will still feel that pain inside ourselves, knowing our fellow females are being dragged back into a dark world, a world no woman should have to exist in anymore. So, when the world turns and some women are forced to go back instead of forward, we cannot imagine for a moment that this is not our issue. No woman left behind. No woman left behind. When one woman screams, all women listen. I hear it. I know you do too. ~ Donna Ashworth Art: The Scream of Gaza by Omar Esstar image

It happened. The Pentagon press corps walked out. At 4 p.m. sharp on Wednesday, decades of history, and the people who wrote it left the world’s most powerful building. Dozens of Pentagon reporters turned in their access badges and carried their boxes, chairs, and notebooks out of the building rather than sign away their right to report. Nearly every major outlet, The Atlantic, Reuters, The Washington Post, CNN, CBS, ABC, even Fox News, refused to accept Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s new “media rules.” The rules required journalists to promise not to seek or publish any information the Pentagon hadn’t pre-approved. Hegseth called it “common sense.” Trump called the press “disruptive to world peace.” The journalists called it what it was: censorship. “To agree to not solicit information is to agree to not be a journalist,” said The Atlantic’s Nancy Youssef, who’s covered the Pentagon since 2007. “Our whole goal is soliciting information.” By 4 p.m., about 50 reporters walked out together, an image that will likely be remembered as one of the defining press freedom moments of the decade. They left behind their nameplates, maps, photos, and decades of institutional memory. all rather than sign a loyalty pledge to silence. Some took to social media: “Today I’ll hand in my badge,” wrote USNI News reporter Heather Mongilio. “The reporting will continue.” The administration’s move has drawn comparisons to Nixon-era secrecy and McCarthy-style paranoia. Hegseth, a former Fox News host and Trump loyalist, has held just two press briefings in nearly a year, restricted access across the Pentagon, and opened investigations into leaks. Now he’s closed the door completely. And yet, the journalists didn’t cave. For once, the press stood as one. This wasn’t a partisan story. It was about power, and those willing to question it. In a time when truth itself feels under siege, the sight of reporters walking out of the Pentagon rather than bowing to censorship reminds us of something vital: maybe our institutions aren’t entirely gone. Maybe, just maybe, we still have people inside them willing to stand up. Democracy doesn’t die in darkness. It walks out carrying boxes, and keeps reporting anyway. image
