Pirate Candidate Announcement: Blase Henry for AZ’s 17th Legislative District
The United States Pirate Party is excited to announce our first of many candidates for the 2026 election cycle: AZPP Captain Blase Henry shall be running for Arizona’s 17th Legislative District!
Blase has been a rising star within the ranks of the United States Pirate Party, and with this announcement, he is officially the first Pirate we will be backing during the 2026 elections.
If elected, future State Rep. Henry has laid out to us some of the bills he plans on introducing, including but not limited to:
– A digital Bill of Rights for Arizona
– A bill banning ID requirement/age verification laws on the internet, AI or otherwise
– A bill similar to the “Stop Killing Games” initiative of Europe, aiming to protect video game consumers and players
– A bill that prevents internet service providers from sharing your data without your consent and make it so police need a warrant for your data
We are excited to share what will be the first of many Pirate candidates. Some candidates will appear on the ballot as independents, some as members of major parties and some, if they are so fortunate, will have “Pirate” next to their name on the ballot. No matter what it says next to their name on the ballot, we will throw our support behind our Pirate candidates.
NOTE: the US Pirate Party recently endorsed the gubernatorial campaign of Timothy Grady for Ohio. Timothy Grady is an independent candidate but is not officially a Pirate Party candidate. Blase Henry is the first official candidate announced from the US Pirate Party.
To quote Blase Henry himself: “Let’s Hoist the Colours and Join the Pirate Revolution! For if Buying isn’t Ownership, then Piracy isn’t Theft!”
You can visit his campaign website here, or if you’re an AZ resident, you can help get Blase on the ballot here.

The LAPD attacked reporters, despite a court order. Then it lied about it
Last Friday, officers from the Los Angeles Police Department beat, shoved, detained, and jailed journalists covering a protest over the previous detention of a community activist who had been documenting immigration officers.
It was a brutal and shocking attack on the press, even by the LAPD’s standards. Even before scores of journalists were attacked and detained at recent immigration raid protests, the force had one of the most atrocious track records when it comes to press freedom. The LAPD is also subject to a court order prohibiting it from interfering with journalists covering protests, which it appears to have wantonly violated.
What’s almost as shocking is how little attention these recent attacks have drawn from the mainstream media. Even five days later, the hometown Los Angeles Times, for instance, hadn’t yet written about Friday’s attack on the press. Thankfully, an out-of-town columnist, Will Bunch at the Philadelphia Inquirer, published an article strongly condemning the LAPD’s actions.
But even worse than ignoring the attacks on the press is reporting false information about them spread by the LAPD. Unfortunately, California station KABC-TV appears to have done just that, by reporting uncritically on claims by the LAPD that two people were detained at the protest for “pretending to be media.”
The two were, in fact, journalists, according to reporter Mel Buer, who was at the protest and was also detained, and Adam Rose, who’s been exhaustively tracking the recent attacks for the Los Angeles Press Club. Rose’s tracking spreadsheet identifies the detained journalists as Nate Gowdy and Carrie Schreck.
The U.S. Press Freedom Tracker reported that LAPD officers detained Gowdy and Schreck, who were working together to report on the protest, because they didn’t have physical press badges.
A lack of physical press credentials isn’t a good enough reason to stop a journalist from reporting under the First Amendment, and it certainly isn’t a good enough reason under the order entered by a federal judge in response to a lawsuit by the Los Angeles Press Club restraining the LAPD’s mistreatment of journalists covering protests. Even guidance from the LAPD’s chief of police says that a lack of credentials isn’t enough to justify a detention.
Instead, officers should have considered all the evidence that Gowdy and Schreck were at the protest to gather the news, like the statements from other credentialed reporters who vouched for them, their camera equipment, and Gowdy’s offer to show digital credentials or prove through a quick Google search that he and Schreck were journalists. And if they were still in doubt, officers were required to grant Gowdy and Schreck’s requests to speak to a supervisor.
KABC-TV, which calls itself the “West Coast flagship” of Disney’s ABC-owned TV station group, also should have known better than to simply repeat a statement from the LAPD that people were arrested for “pretending” to be press.
The government often makes this claim and uses it as a justification for why it “can’t” respect the First Amendment rights of journalists and simply must continue to beat and terrorize them along with protesters. But research has shown that protesters or others claiming to be press is rare. Any time government officials make this claim, journalists should be skeptical and investigate it before reporting it.
Journalists must bring a healthy dose of skepticism to any statements by the LAPD about its treatment of the press. The LAPD knows that it violates the First Amendment and California law to detain or otherwise interfere with journalists covering protests, but it continues to do so anyway.
It seems to prefer to risk contempt of court or massive settlements rather than respect the First Amendment, and it apparently has no compunction about making false statements to the press about its actions.
The only response available to journalists — other than suing to enforce their rights — is to report, accurately, on every single First Amendment violation by the LAPD. If they do, perhaps the citizens of Los Angeles will make clear to elected officials and law enforcement leaders that they won’t tolerate their police force acting in such a lawless manner.

Today is the day to stop killing games!
We would like to share the amazing news that the European Citizen initiative created by the Stop killing games community has reached the required threshold of 1 million signatures across Europe! And you can still add your signature until the end of the month!
At the European Pirate Party, defending digital rights is at the heart of our mission. We believe that when people purchase a videogame, they should be guaranteed the right to use it – not left at the mercy of arbitrary shutdowns by publishers. Consumers should not be treated as renters of entertainment they’ve paid for. That’s why we decided to endorse the Initiative after it launched.
As we noted before, this campaign calls for clear legal obligations: once a game is sold, it must remain in a playable state, even if the publisher steps away. No one should wake up to find their purchased game disabled by a remote switch. We find this unacceptable. We’re encouraged by the grassroots energy behind this effort. From independent developers to influential streamers like Ross Scott, who spearheaded the push, to public figures like PewDiePie, who has previously expressed support for Pirate Party values – this is a powerful coalition of gamers, creators, and digital freedom advocates.
While it seemed unclear for months if the initiative would gather enough signatures before the deadline, it suddenly gathered a huge wave of support in the last week, and today it reached the target of 1 million signatures! At this point it is clear that the European Union will have to address the initiative, and the more signatures we get above the required threshold the bigger the chance that they will decide to actually address the problem with games being killed by the publishers. You can easily see the current numbers of signatures with this tracker.
Let’s further ensure that the voices of European gamers and citizens are heard loud and clear in Brussels! Let’s protect digital ownership! Let’s defend access! Let’s stop the silent destruction of the digital heritage!

Endorsed! Timothy Grady for Ohio!
During last Sunday’s Pirate National Committee meeting, members voted to endorse the campaign of Timothy Grady, independent candidate for Governor of Ohio in his 2026 gubernatorial race.
Having joined out meeting, which you can catch the recap of here, Mr. Grady gave us his best pitch for not only why we should endorse his campaign, but also an opportunity for Ohio voters to hear from the independent candidate.
After a long meeting and opportunity to ask questions, the decision was unanimous: the US Pirate Party will support the Grady campaign!
You can see the official announcement from Timothy Grady’s page here.
It should be noted that Tim Grady is not running as a proxy of the Ohio Pirate Party (which is active but unofficial), nor is the Grady campaign strictly a Pirate campaign. The United States Pirate Party values honest campaigns, person-first agendas and anyone who fights for free and open.
The 2026 election cycle will feature explicitly Pirate candidates, running as independents, DINOS/RINOS and explicitly as Pirates. While Timothy Grady is not one of those Pirate candidates, we are happy to throw our support towards a candidate who shares our values.
Ohio, you have a chance to say “Enough is enough”.

A ‘massive failure’ in Kansas: Two years since the Marion County Record raid
The police raid of the Marion County Record’s newsroom on Aug. 11, 2023, shocked the country but proved to be just one of a series of alarming attacks on local journalism that year. It was also a preview of how lawless and incompetent governments can use strained constructions of the law as pretext to retaliate against journalists they dislike, as we now see not only in small-town America but at the federal level. As the death of Record co-owner Joan Meyer the next day tragically proved, by the time justice takes its course — if it ever does — the damage has often already been done.
We asked investigative journalist Jessica McMaster to reflect on her award-winning coverage of the raid for KSHB-TV in Kansas City, Missouri. The interview is below. You can also read about or watch our discussion with Record publisher Eric Meyer earlier this year.
On a Friday afternoon in 2023, news broke of a police raid of the Marion County Record newsroom and its publisher Eric Meyer’s home. Did you realize right away that this needed to be not just a statewide story but a national one?
I realized right away this was a big story. Once the news broke that Joan Meyer died, I knew we had to go to Marion — the backlash was immediate and the responses were coming in from across the country.
Over the course of many months, it became clear that the raid wasn’t a random instance of police overresponding to a citizen complaint. Details began to emerge about local officials, including the police chief, Gideon Cody, and their conduct before, during, and after the raid — even before coming to Marion. Plenty of great local journalists did amazing work covering the story, but you seemed to get a large share of the big scoops. Without divulging any confidences, how were you able to pull it off, especially being based in Kansas City, not particularly close to Marion?
I worked a lot of hours. In the beginning, we stayed overnight in Marion. After that, it was a lot of driving back and forth, while taking calls from sources at all hours of the night. I’d been a journalist long enough to know that a story this big doesn’t die down for a few weeks. We made the commitment to drive the five-hour round trip daily. I didn’t always know what our angle would be, but I knew I’d find it.
“If journalists are not willing to report on the ongoing attacks against the free press, who will?”
Jessica McMaster
Talk about the level of transparency — or lack thereof — that you encountered from government officials, both in Marion and statewide, during your reporting on the raid. What were some of the challenges you needed to overcome, in terms of secrecy and accessing information that was of public interest?
Gideon Cody wasn’t talking. The county attorney wasn’t talking. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation was saying very little. Almost immediately, it had the appearance that everyone involved in this was covering their own tail — and of course they were. This was a huge mess. We leaned on the gift of open records laws to get most of our information. Getting emails and text messages helped piece the parts of the story together that those in power wanted to remain a secret. We knew they’d try and block us — we were prepared to fight back. There were times when we had to get our attorneys involved when information was being withheld. On a story like this, the details don’t reveal the truth all at once. It trickles out over time. It’s always fun to look back and see how it all comes together — one information request, or leak, at a time.
At Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF), we were glued to your X feed for real-time updates. We probably weren’t the only ones. Can you talk about the challenge of breaking news on social media while also investigating the bigger stories?
This is one of my favorite parts about covering a big story — connecting with people in real time. I had people from other countries sending me emails and tweeting to me that they were following me for updates. I was not asked to use social media in real time by my employer — it’s just something I’d become accustomed to doing since early on in my career. With Marion, we were getting updates constantly — social media made it easy to get that information out quickly. I don’t see using social media as a challenge — I think it’s a tool to connect with our followers more authentically and bring them along on the journey with us. Of course, if I have to get my broadcast script in urgently, or I have to be on camera within the next few minutes, I’ll take a break from providing live updates and come back to it once I’m done.
Were there any stories you were able to break while covering the raid that you felt were particularly important to the public’s understanding of what went on?
We broke so many stories over the first couple of months. I remember driving to Marion during that first week of coverage. I didn’t know what the story would be on this particular day. It was our plan to find the story once we got there. About an hour into our trip, while driving past a cornfield, my cellphone rings and it’s the attorney for Marion County Record. He tips me off that the county attorney has revoked the search warrants. He gave me a two-minute head start before he planned to tell all the other reporters. This was arguably the biggest break in the case — it’s the first time officials publicly admitted the raids shouldn’t have happened. This squashed any doubts of wrongdoing on behalf of the newspaper — and people, especially in Marion — did have their doubts. So, of course, I’m scrambling to get this information out there. Minutes after I broke the news on X, the county attorney sent a press release to all newsrooms with his statement on revoking the warrants.
“It’s hard for a lot of us to grasp that so many people, in positions of power, failed in such spectacular fashion to do their jobs.”
Jessica McMaster
What insights did you come away with about the state of press freedom in Kansas and in the United States?
This was a massive failure by several people within the justice system. I think that’s what’s so shocking about this entire thing — most of us assume a police chief would understand press freedom laws. If a police chief doesn’t, we’d assume a county attorney would. If a county attorney doesn’t, we’d assume a district judge would. If no one understands these laws — surely someone will look it up. The amount of layers Gideon Cody’s attack on the newspaper survived is astonishing. What did all these people, who are supposed to understand the law, think the response would be? I think it’s hard for a lot of us to grasp that so many people, in positions of power, failed in such spectacular fashion to do their jobs.
Do you think the raid had an ongoing chilling effect on journalism?
I think the chilling effect comes from a culmination of attacks that have been launched against the free press over the past several years. We’ve seen this play out in other instances, during protests for example, where police assault or arrest journalists for doing their jobs. I think Marion was another example of that.
Despite your award-winning work on the raid and all the other great work you’ve done, less than two years after the raid, your position at KSHB-TV, Kansas City’s NBC affiliate, was eliminated. What does that say about the state of the news industry and whether local investigative reporting is valued these days?
The company I worked for always valued investigative journalism — it’s why I stayed in my position for a decade. I think what we’re seeing is that many local newsrooms are becoming more and more risk averse. I personally felt this shift over the past few years. When newsrooms operate from a place of fear, it’s very difficult for reporters to do their job, especially investigative reporters who, by nature, do more high-risk, accountability-focused stories.
What’s next for you? I saw that your X post about the layoff said your time as an investigative journalist was coming to an end. Are you done with journalism or are you going to look for a way back in? And why?
I love journalism. I believe in its purpose. I believe in its power. We need solid journalists who aren’t afraid to hold the powerful accountable. That said, I don’t see myself stepping back into a newsroom. At least not anytime soon. I took the summer off to focus on my kids and reflect on what I want to do next, which has been such a gift. I plan to keep writing and creating content for something I believe in.
Journalists often feel like covering press freedom stories is difficult, because they’re making themselves the story or because their objectivity will be questioned, for example. What do you say to that, and what’s your advice to journalists and editors wondering whether it’s a good idea to report on press freedom violations?
Stick to the facts. That’s my advice. While I didn’t initially know why police raided the newspaper, I knew this was fundamentally wrong. I knew police should’ve served a subpoena, as opposed to busting down the doors. I knew the free press has protections, both locally and federally. All of that gave me grounds to cover this story. It can be uncomfortable reporting on something so closely tied to our personal lives — but if journalists are not willing to report on the ongoing attacks against the free press, who will?
