DHS harassed a man with an administrative warrant (sent to Google for access to his email) and a home visit to “interview” him because he dared to *politely* email a federal prosecutor on behalf of an asylum seeker who will be in danger if deported to Afghanistan.

While the Trump administration certainly does a good job of lining the pockets of the people and corporations who’ve pledged fealty, the administration’s policies—and the wild, haphazard way they’re implemented—are bad for American businesses.

“A rightwing Brazilian influencer who claimed Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown targeted only ‘crooks’ has been arrested by ICE agents in New Jersey.”

It’s not about the law. If it were, Don Lemon wouldn’t have been arrested in the first place.

It’s about a show of federal force against a man viewed by Trump and MAGA as an enemy; an independent journalist they can’t control via corporate media manipulation.

Trump wants to nationalize our elections. “We want to take over,” he says.

I can remember a Republican Party that would have gone insane if anyone had suggested such a power grab.

The federal government is ruining the lives of random protesters by publicly labeling them “Antifa,” and right-wing media (including Fox News) is running the stories.

The Trump regime is defaming average, American citizens for exercising their rights.

I’m having a really hard time believing this was an accident (and not spiteful) given that the Trump administration, and Trump himself over the years, have been pretty solidly anti-victim as they’ve repeatedly lied and attempted to keep the Epstein files a secret.

They’re shutting down the Kennedy Center for two years because (they claim) it needs renovations. 😂

Every accusation is a confession with these clowns.

The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascism—a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.

It’s hard to tell these days when the Trump regime is being truly inept or merely trying to generate a new controversy to distract from others.

Either they didn’t think anyone would notice this (which is idiotic) or they wanted everyone to notice & talk about it.

The White House seems quite proud that they’re violating a few of Don Lemon’s constitutional rights.

And of course the are! They couldn’t wait to start Phase 2. They’re absolutely giddy. Lemon is well-known, MAGA cultists hate him… he’s perfect for their game, both visually and philosophically.

Phase 1: Control the media corporations via regulatory bodies and nonsensical claims of “defamation.”

…but that doesn’t stop independent journalists, so…

Phase 2: Silence independent journalists by making scary examples (bogus prosecution, bankruptcy) of a few of them.

Trump’s approval rating fell again. The poll was already in progress when Alex Pretti was murdered by federal agents, so expect the numbers to fall further.

Confidence in Trump’s ethics is at 21%. How can anyone approve of a president when they don’t think he’s ethical?

It’s crazy that we now live in a country where this could be a legitimate White House press conference given the arguments that the Trump administration employs on a daily basis to defend its partisan, corrupt behavior.

I still can’t believe Bezos paid Melania $40 million of a $75 million budget to do a documentary about the short time prior to Trump’s second inauguration.
