Don Lemon wasn’t arrested for disrupting a church service. He was arrested because the Trump administration wants journalists afraid. This is intimidation, plain and simple.

Don Lemon’s Arrest Is a Warning to Every Journalist in America
The Trump administration isn’t just enforcing the law—it’s using arrests as intimidation, and the press is the target.

Keith Ellison: "The president is openly promoting authoritarianism and tyranny. That is what's happening in America. Most of us thought we would never see it, but here it is right in front of our eyes."

First thing I notice is one name is missing and only one name redacted and the length of the redaction suggests someone famous enough that they're a) only listed by their last name b) may be—therefore—one of the reasons the chart was created (and why they're one of the names left off the full chart)

Excited to start this one! Trevor Reed was a political prisoner in Russia, and when released went and fought in Ukraine until he was wounded. He’s a good friend, and this is going to be a great read! Get yours today

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.

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

Law enforcement officers have always been unmasked in this country until ICE started wearing them last year.

*That* is the departure from norms. *That* is the step too far.
Tillis says he opposes ICE being barred from wearing masks: "I've seen people dox me. I've seen people take pictures and identify law enforcement officers and then put their families at risk. So, I think that's a step too far."

Even Republicans are turning on Trump. DHS has become a lawless agency, staffed and operated by incompetent, corrupt, sycophants, not law enforcement professionals. Trump and his entire regime need to go.

America’s economic mood deteriorated in January to its lowest level in more than a decade as consumers fretted about geopolitical tensions, affordability and President Donald Trump’s unrelenting trade war. https://cnn.it/4rmyD3n

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

ICE agents appear to be increasingly treating anyone who stands up to them or resists their terrorist Gestapo tactics as a threat who must be killed. This is a gross abuse of power with a goal not of enforcing law, but of establishing domination and control of any who oppose Trump.

US citizen. Public servant. Licensed to carry a firearm but had no weapon in hand when killed. Attacked by ICE agents with chemical munitions for no reason, then shot.

The time for talking is over. If you are an elected leader you have to tell us *now* what you are doing to end this nightmare ASAP.
