The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution.
This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American.
They must be released immediately.

It's actually a good thing that previously apolitical normies are finally getting angry and starting to speak out. We need the numbers in the streets and at the polls.
If your response to them is "no, fuck you, too late," then you don't actually care about stopping Trump. You're just preening.

Trumpers have a howling void of angry insecurity where a soul should be. Unchecked power tastes like ashes in their mouth because they thought when they got it everyone would be forced to like and admire them even though they’re irredeemable assholes. But people still treat them like assholes.

In 48 other states, new moms have access to Medicaid for up to one year after they give birth. Not in Wisconsin.
There, the limit remains two months. And it’s only because of one man: Assembly Speaker Robin Vos.

The loss of data due to this administration will set the US back decades.
In agency after agency, the U.S. government is losing its capacity to measure how American society is functioning, making it much harder to gauge the nature and scale of the problems we are facing and the effectiveness of policies.

D.C.’s rolling crime rate per 100,000 is at its lowest since before the pandemic, so the idea of deploying the National Guard is nonsense. The only spike in D.C. crime is coming from the White House, where a felon and his cronies are looting the nation in broad daylight.
