Thank you for including Petersburg.
Big thanks to all the people who are grabbing your relatives and friends and tickets for the Chain of Ideas book tour in March! I hinted at this before but now I can share we have added two more stops in Petersburg, Virginia, and St. Louis.

We need to recognize garbage for what it is and treat it accordingly.
Just because we aren't totally surprised, doesn't mean we can shrug it off. Decency, dignity, and humanity matter, even now. Especially now.

This is racist, plain and simple. Trump's behavior is beneath the Office of the President. Is there anyone around him who will tell him when he’s wrong?

Unmarked car, no lights or police insignia. Masked armed men leap out. Victim not in the act of committing any crime. This is not how a serious federal law enforcement agency acts in a free society.

How is this not supposed to be a “right wing paramilitary force loyal to the regime”?
This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

The First Amendment fully protects our right to record ICE agents, police, FBI, National Guard troops, and other government officials performing their duties in public.

Know your rights while filming, how to protect your digital privacy, and what to do if you're stopped or arrested for recording.
Recording and Documenting Police and Federal Agents
The First Amendment protects your right to take photos and videos of law enforcement officers performing their duties in public. This applies to ICE agents, police, FBI, National Guard troops, and any other government officials. If you're not under arrest, a law enforcement officer needs a warrant to confiscate your device or to view its contents without your consent.

Just days ago, federal agents raided the home of a @washingtonpost.com reporter.

Now, Donald Trump's administration ordered the arrest of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort.

Censoring the press is the first step towards controlling the people. We must defend our democracy.

Trump has arrested Don Lemon & Georgia Fort—two Independent Black journalists who reported on a protest in Minneapolis—for their “crime” of reporting.

Fascists don’t want exposure. As corporate media happily capitulate to Trump, he’s targeting independent journalists who refuse to bend the knee.

Reworking the DHS funding bill to better protect public safety does not need to cause major harm within DHS or the government agencies covered by the other 5 funding bills, *if* Rs are prepared to govern responsibly. Claims to the contrary are an admission of sorts.
