„Putin has promised Trump many things. But the people of Ukraine see no benefit from them. On the contrary, they are forced to freeze in darkness because the consequences of the Russian attacks are devastating. Journalism should focus on facts, not announcements.“

The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascism—a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.

JANE FONDA: “I know Don Lemon. My husband created CNN. And I will fight for their right to speak… they arrested the wrong Don. This is how autocrats act. We can’t fall for it.”

I've been watching the news and reading the Internet for weeks -
When do millions of us march to Washington, drag all these criminals that have subverted our Constitution out of our buildings, deal with them roughly and restart our Democracy?
It is up to us folks, no-one is going to save us.

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

Minneapolis should press its momentum and demand not only withdrawal but start talking about the need for immediate reparations, loudly, with the total certainty that only winners have. "You have wronged us terribly and must pay recompense" and let them argue the second part.

I don't think people understand that if you shut down the government, ICE and CBP do NOT shut down. They're funded by supplemental money from the BBB. That's why dems are separating the DHS funding bill and asking for restrictions. I want them to demand a rescission of that funding or shut DHS down

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!”
So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it

🚨 Appeal from the Pokrovsk front!
The 117th Brigade is operating under relentless attacks and has lost critical equipment‼️
Every day, these soldiers carry out dangerous missions - ☑️evacuating the wounded, ☑️moving troops, and ☑️delivering supplies under fire‼️
They need a ✨drone jammer.
