I’m moving in slo-mo. Late post. Really nice turnout for yesterday’s West LA Freeway Brigade. The message for the moment: DE-ICE AMERICA spoke to thousands!

Donald Trump is now arresting journalists.

The President is trampling all over the Constitution.

Today, he's attacking the First Amendment and the freedom of press.

Tomorrow, your rights could be next.
Federal agents arrested the former CNN anchor Don Lemon on Thursday on charges that he violated federal law during a Jan. 18 protest against the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, his lawyer said. The case had been rejected last week by a magistrate judge. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/u...

CNN Breaking news: "Another independent MN journalist, Georgia Fort, arrested. We have video of her inside her home saying that FBI agents outside her door demand she come out. So, now there are two journalist who have been arrested." She went with them after consulting with her attorney.

Tulsi Gabbard’s job is to keep us safe from foreign adversaries.

Instead, she’s spending her time raiding the Fulton County, Georgia election center to feed Donald Trump’s delusion.

Trump LOST the 2020 election.

I’m trying to find out why some of the victim’s names and personal identifying info was not redacted. The whole time they said they were protecting the women and now they release their names?!? Also they are withholding 50% of the files.

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

Independent journalist Georgia Fort was also arrested by federal agents earlier for reporting on the church protest in Minneapolis. She was live streaming when agents arrived to take her into custody.

Trump’s Big Ugly Bill has put 100,000 Massachusetts residents at imminent risk of losing food assistance. It’s a betrayal of their promise to put America first and a slap in the face to the families they swore they would fight for.

"Also note that MS NOW’s Carol Leonnig is reporting that career prosecutors in Minnesota and Los Angeles refused to be involved in the prosecution of Lemon"

So who presented this to a grand jury, in criminal violation of the First Amendment? Lindsey Halligan?
There's video of Don Lemon outside the protest stating explicitly: "I'm just chronicling. I'm not with the group." Bondi went to grand jury for an indictment after the courts declined to approve arrest warrant *twice.*

Legal experts explain here why this is so ugly:

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.

there's this new dynamic where the DOJ cannot win in court and is (relatedly) incapable of meeting the minimum threshold of professional legal conduct, and so an increasing percentage of its actions are purely for intimidation and content

The DOJ just took down pages with detailed descriptions of Trump engaged in child rape and other pedophilia. We don't know if they have been corroborated, but we already know this DOJ will deny everything on behalf of their client.

George Will says that every statement issued by DHS must be presumed to be a lie. Here's a great example: a press release about its new concentration camps saying they are not mega warehouses when that, indeed, is precisely what they are.
