Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

For taking pictures? She's charged with a hate crime for taking pictures? Of things that are happening. And publishing them?
Is this America?
The charge is aggravated second degree harassment with hate crime enhancement.
The complaint is that the defendant took pictures of the vandalism of the NYT building, where red paint was splashed on the building along with messages protesting NYT's coverage of Gaza. Think along the lines of, "you're complicit. Etc etc."
The defendant didn't do any vandalising, just "harassed" whom? The NYT? By posting photos or messages to a social media account.
The hate crime part is presumably charged as some kind of antisemitism angle.
Overall this seems like a pretty slam dunk first amendment deal, but I didn't get all the facts. In order to stand up against the 1A, the harassment case has to look more like "yelling fire in a crowded theater" than it does now.
They're trying to claim because they were there when some or all of the vandalism occurred, and took photos of it and republished on their social media the next day, that they were in on it. Which might make sense if they weren't a respected photojournalist.
If y'all aren't calling friendly journos before actions you're doing it all wrong. If a tree falls in a forest and all that.
But like, actual journalists like this one seemingly is.
Pictures of people protesting Israel's ongoing genocide which the USA is funding.
