Tonight at 8 PM ET, when Don Lemon goes live as an independent journalist, it will be the biggest moment of his career. And it’s telling for two reasons. He’s no longer tethered to legacy media, and Trump and his administration tried to silence him.

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.
Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.

Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.

Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.

Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

☢️I spent years operating a nuclear reactor while in the US Navy.

Now the Trump admin is ending many of the safety rules that protected me, my shipmates and the public from hazardous doses of cancer-causing radiation.👇
Can't emphasize enough how bad this is. ALARA protects power plant workers and the public from cancer-causing levels of radiation.

Ending it allows companies to cut corners in design and operation of reactors that WILL endanger lives.

This is the large domino, with the small domino being some random quack in the UK in 1998 trying to undermine the existing MMR vaccine so his business partner can swoop in with his own. Instead he lost his work credentials and now kids are dying needlessly all over the world, so great job everyone.
Austria loses its WHO status as measles-free, too, together with Armenia, Azerbaijan Uzbekistan and Spain. This comes as no surprise, considering the rise in numbers in recent years and the decline in MMR vaccine coverage

My gosh. Alex Pretti was notifying neighbors that Trump and Vance's agents were chasing a family. A mob of agents then tackled him and broke his rib.

He thought he was going to die.

Then the very next week, he came back out to support his neighbors.

And a mob of agents killed him.

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.

It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

What he said was fine.

Neighbours hiding minority children from uniformed government thugs in service to a nativist agenda is bad enough.

I'm sure Anne would have preferred people spoke up BEFORE the Nazis got to the death camps stage.

Warren: "I know there are Republicans right now who are seeing what we're seeing in MN, and they know it's wrong. It's time to speak out. Silence is complicity. Grow a spine, show some backbone. Being 'disturbed' doesn't change anything and the ICE agents who are waving around loaded guns know it."
