In addition to arresting Don Lemon, the arrest of my courageous friend and Emmy award winning independent journalist Georgia Fort for REPORTING the church protest in Minneapolis is what FASCISM looks like. This is video of Georgia reporting her own arrest as FBI agents were at her door. 1/2

Nasra Ahmed, a 23-year-old US citizen, was arrested and detained by ICE. She was held for TWO DAYS.
ICE agents handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and she was knocked to the ground so hard she got a concussion.
