Between seizing ballots in Georgia, trying to leverage Minnesota to turn over its sensitive voter data, and political prosecutions, the DOJ is laying the groundwork to subvert the 2026 elections. I created Democracy Docket for times like this. Help it grow by supporting it now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

#GVerse #Minneapolis In an attempt by this regime to divide the nation and turn us against one another, it appears the country is instead beginning to unite against the regime.

Now if only Congress would do the same.

This week has been a lot. It’s overwhelming.

But what is in those files the DOJ released today is a scandal of monumental proportions. People fear that it is “too big to fail.” Maybe.
But Congress must act.

Yes! we need all the files. But what has been released is already a four-alarm fire.

Marimar Martinez is a hero.

She was shot 5 times by ICE.

The agent told her to “do something b*tch” before opening fire.

He later bragged “5 shots, 7 holes”.

DHS tried to smear her reputation but video footage vindicated her.

Next week she will testify in Washington about ICE’s brutality.

Marimar Martinez will speak at a federal forum on immigration agents' use of force as she fights to unseal evidence in her now-dropped prosecution.

Don Lemon from inside the Minnesota church protest: “I’m just here photographing. I’m a journalist. We’re here just chronicling & reporting”

Going to be difficult to assert that he was doing anything other than reporting on the event in his capacity as a journalist

btw the civility panic a few years ago was about precisely this: the ability to have polite conversations about how black people are racially inferior in public without criticism or backlash bsky.app/profile/hann...
Jeffrey Epstein sent a link to the white nationalist podcast The Right Stuff, whose core hosts played an active role in the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally. He did so in February 2016. Before TRS made national news, really.

Genuinely bizarre.

Children raped and killed. American citizens shot in the street. Immigrants illegally shackled, tortured, killed. Journalists arrested.

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.

www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news... #ProudBlue #USDemocracy. The arrest of Don Lemon should send a chill down the spine of every American. The Trump Regime does not want press coverage of their atrocities. Lemon was imbedded with protesters. He was not a protester. This is an assault on 1st amendment
Don Lemon arrested by federal authorities after protest at Minnesota church service
Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a Friday post on X that Lemon was arrested in addition to three other people "in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota."

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity
