If you are a good journalist and you value people who show you respect and integrity, you should grant your audience the same:
You call a lie a lie
You call a criminal a criminal
You call treason treason
And
You call fascists fascists.
THERE ARE NO 'BOTH SIDES' ABOUT THIS.

How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are
Agents use facial recognition, social media monitoring and other tech tools not only to identify undocumented immigrants but also to track protesters, current and former officials said.

Independent journalists, media, and commentators - especially people of color - we have to stick together.
Solidarity.
We have to protect ourselves and our community. The institutions won't protect us, and this fascist Trump regime will use "our scalps" to placate their base.

Trump's IRS lawsuit is demanding $10 billion from taxpayers.
$10 billion would pay for 4 months of ACA tax credits for millions who can't afford health care—because of him.
In Trump's ideal world, you make him richer.
While he makes you sicker and poorer.
