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.

"We were there chronicling protests... Once the protest started in the church, we did an act of journalism, which was report on it and talk to the people who were involved... That's it... It's called journalism. First Amendment."

To understand how crazy, and dangerous, this move is, just realize that Trump is now declaring that FAA airplane safety certifications will henceforth be made by politicians who know absolutely nothing about aircraft safety.

If the United States Constitution doesn’t protect you from a federal agent shooting you in the face for the “crime” of turning your car around, it doesn’t exist. ICE has become a paramilitary force with zero oversight and a Secretary in Kristi Noem who encourages the chaos. ENOUGH.

Alex Pretti was not a domestic terrorist. He was a nurse. And ICE officers murdered him, without any possible legal justification for doing so. The video evidence irrefutably demonstrates that.
