Debbie Brockman of WGN in Chicago has hired an attorney and plans to fight back against her unlawful arrest and detention by ICE.

Freedom of the press is under attack.

Tackling and arresting journalists is another step towards state run media.

Bring on the lawsuits.

WGN-TV producer hires attorney to ‘pursue all legal avenues’ after ICE detention

Debbie Brockman and her legal team “adamantly deny” allegations that she assaulted federal officers during an immigration enforcement action.

“Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums and the arts — to prevent us from learning. It’s Fascism 101.”
~ Robert Reich

So let me get this straight, we borrowed $20 billion from our kids just to hand it to Argentina so they could steal our soybean market, and now we’re borrowing another $30 billion to pay off our own farmers?

These people couldn’t run a lemonade stand.

MAGA: Make Argentina Great Again.

A musician, Oriana Korol, was peacefully playing clarinet with her protest band outside ICE facilities in Portland, OR.

When the band started playing “Ghostbusters,” ICE thugs suddenly poured outside, slammed her into the mud, arrested her and took her to a jail 9 miles away in Vancouver, WA.

‘Taking us citizens out of state to detain them without charge is a new action from the Feds and should be opposed,’ her band said

We’ve lived 15 years under Citizens United, watching billionaires and corporations shape democracy with their wallets. Reform once seemed impossible. But now, a group in Montana is asking a radical question: What if states simply stopped granting corporations the power to spend in politics?

Could We End Corporate Money In Politics?

Backers of a referendum before Montana voters next year believe they’ve found a vulnerability on Citizen United

A 15-year-old girl was assaulted while alerting her community about ICE raids. The Department of Homeland Security denies any involvement, ICE misrepresents the footage, and then continuously alters its narrative.

There will be a day when tRump,his administration, and all his goons will answer for their crimes! Hopefully sooner than later!
Either way, the reckoning is coming and when it does it'll be just like 1946 Germany, excuses and tears!
The end results however will be the same!

Gymbo Jordan needs to concentrate on his pedophile supporting POTUS and his own sexual abuse history before he starts grandstanding again with conspiracy theories and MAGA BS.
