the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

Last week a border patrol agent was filmed pepper-spraying a detained protester at point-blank range. @pacantifa.is identified agent as Tyler Gramlin.
For @us.theguardian.com I asked Gramlin for comment. His response? He sent me a weird far-right "Amelia" meme. "DEFEND YOUR HOMELAND," it said.

Arresting a black journalist under the Ku Klux Klan Act for covering a pro-immigration protest at a Christian nationalist church led by an ICE officer is the perfect encapsulation of this administration's authoritarianism, racism, and trolling.

NEWS: The Trump regime has arrested Don Lemon in its latest crackdown on journalism after he reported from inside a church protest in Minnesota—despite a magistrate judge previously rejecting the case against him as unsupported by evidence.

The feds have now arrested two journalists — who both happen to be Black and not backed by media organizations because they are both independent journos — over their coverage of Minneapolis. Don Lemon is the famous one of the two, but there’s also Georgia Fort, an independent reporter in Minneapolis

Last year, a human trafficking victim trapped in a crypto scam compound in the Golden Triangle region of Laos contacted me. He then proceeded to leak to me a huge collection of the compound's internal materials.
Then he had to get out alive. This is his story.

It doesn't matter. I reject that framing entirely. You don't need a licence to have children. Fundamentalist Christians routinely psychologically and physically abuse their children. One might even argue hating children is the central conceit of their doctrine. Can't say that about gay parents
Also, the “gay parents are worse” claim just isn’t true. Research shows that children of same sex couples have the same outcomes as those of heterosexual couples, sometimes better outcomes. The key determinants are class, income, etc, not whether you have two moms, two dads, or a mum and a dad.
It's a real full-circle moment because rhetoric that was refined in anti-trans propaganda is now being turned around to argue against gay marriage.
Note the renewed focus on children and the deployment of "biological parents" as a more-naturalized, more 'legitimate' category.
