I think one thing we shouldn't forget about that one rapper lady is for several years--perhaps even more than a decade--if you said anything critical about her online, her fans would issue death and r*pe threats. One content creator even had her fans threaten the safety of her young nephew.

I am so thankful for ProPublica.

Oh we have names?

And by the looks off those names, they're Latinx?

Do we see the play that's happening here?

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Say that one more time.

Black reporters were systematically removed from media jobs, leaving them more vulnerable to shit like this.

And this is also why I'm mad.
A Black reporter being targeted for arrest again in an industry that doesn’t even acknowledge that it pushed Black reporters out.

Georgia Fort's is chilling, and it's being overshadowed by the equally chilling arrest of Don Lemon.

A GoFundMe is being set up for Fort. In the meantime, you can support her work directly – without paying massive fundraising platform fees – through her website:

HOLD THE LINE!!!
Breaking on MS NOW:

Career DOJ prosecutors in both Minnesota and Los Angeles refused to be involved in charging Don Lemon and the other journalists who covered the Minneapolis church protests.

The prosecutors believe the evidence does not support the charges, per @carolleonnig.bsky.social.

"News outlets across the political spectrum need to loudly defend [independent journalists Don] Lemon’s and [Georgia] Fort’s rights. Journalists are not making themselves the story, Trump is.”

Minnesota based Independent Journalist GEORGIA FORT has been arrested for filming a protest of the church pastor that works as an ICE manager. SPREAD THE WORD! Georgia has been doing outstanding reporting from ground zero!

BREAKING: The Trump regime has detained former CNN host Don Lemon.
A week ago, the regime tried to charge Lemon for covering an anti-ICE protest inside a Minnesota church, but a magistrate judge rejected the move.
Lemon predicted: “They’re going to try again.” Apparently, he was right.
This just in: "Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards," Lemon's attorney Abbe Lowell says.

The Super Bowl is now "The Woke Bowl."

Tuberville, you will never be as funny as John Kennedy with your Temu-ass jokes.

One sign said "“You funded ICE, which is killing American citizens.”

It's what she deserves.
