I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

In case you missed it, a Republican in *checks notes* … Texas — who Trump endorsed — just underperformed Trump by 30 points and lost a special election.

It went "too far" in the sense of getting "too close" to the nexus linking depraved patriarchs globally.

What the Epstein files show is that across social domains--business, science, politics, education--men at the tops of their fields bond and compete for status through violent misogyny.
I keep thinking again, in light of the latest Epstein files dump, about how MeToo “went too far.”

It’s pretty fucking wild that the DOJ is releasing files that include accusations that the President of the United States raped underage girls, to distract from the fact that the DOJ is covering up murders of US citizens by their own government.

So this administration has charged an independent Black journalist reporting in Minnesota but not two white agents who murdered two citizens

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.
This just in: "Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards," Lemon's attorney Abbe Lowell says.

The arrest of journalist Don Lemon is a horrific assault on our 1st Amendment rights.

This Administration pursues its own political enemies over real justice.

This is an attack on free press, and EVERY American must push back on this dangerous and authoritarian act.

Don must be freed immediately.

Breaking on MS NOW:

Career DOJ prosecutors in both Minnesota and Los Angeles refused to be involved in charging Don Lemon and the other journalists who covered the Minneapolis church protests.

The prosecutors believe the evidence does not support the charges, per @carolleonnig.bsky.social.

If data is the weapon, participation is the shield. Make sure your registration is up to date. Stay informed leading up to and after the midterms. Show up in numbers that end the argument.

The president of the United States had his Justice Dept. raid an election office and seize ballots in order to cast doubt on an election he lost. Yet, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day.

They’re gonna stuff ballot boxes from the past as a rationale to take control of ballot boxes in the future.
So my connect the dots here is that there will be some allegation that there was foreign interference in the voting — Hugo Chavez, Italian satellites, etc. — (hence why DNI is involved), making it a nat sec issue that they will use to justify doing something crazy/illegal in Nov
