    “Piggy.” “Stupid.” “Ugly.” President Trump’s attacks on women journalists are misogynistic, demeaning, and dangerous. They are not isolated comments — they are part of a broader pattern of hostility toward women in the press. And they are an attack on #PressFreedom itself. 🧵

    Every day, @Yamiche carries on #GwenIfill's legacy of leadership, mentorship, and challenging expectations of how women of color should report. We're thrilled to honor this incredible, #fiercewomanjourno with our 2020 Gwen Ifill Award. iwmf.org/awards/gwen-if…

    The IWMF stands in solidarity with @RanaAyyub and condemns the #OnlineViolence against her. Rana continues to be the target of misinformation campaigns and harassment, appearing on three @OneFreePress lists of journalists under attack for pursuing the truth. #WeStandWithRana

    26.4 thousand tweets, most are abusive, rape and death threats, calling me a terror sympathiser. Most tweets are by the Indian right wing & Saudi nationalists who are attacking me after i posted a tweet in solidarity with Yemen and calling out the Saudis. Hello @TwitterIndia

    Today, we remember 2002 #Courage winner, Anna Politkovskaya, who investigated rapes, beatings, & murders committed by the Russian military and endured arrest and death threats as a result. In 2006 Politkovskaya was killed. She would have been 60 today. iwmf.org/community/anna…

    Journalist @RanaAyyub has described the trolling she’s received in the past weeks as “something I have never witnessed before.” We call for an end to these intimidation tactics and stand in support of journalists covering current events in India.

    "While at times it made me shaky to have the President call me nasty or have his followers attack me, it reminded me that I come from a long line of women – like Gwen Ifill – who have stood up for themselves." Gwen Ifill Awardee @Yamiche: wapo.st/iwmf2020. #IWMFCourage

    Journalists are truth-tellers, not criminals. We condemn the recent intimidation tactics used against journalist @RanaAyyub and call for Indian authorities to cease attempts to silence journalistic voices.
