#Russia didn’t start by killing journalists. It started by arresting them under the pretense of law. By the time prosecutors calling reporting a “coordinated targeting,” journalism is no longer protected - it’s criminalized. Can journalists document protests, raids, and abuses of power without being arrested? America is failing it. Using Russia’s exact playbook.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

As the Trump regime and MAGA sound an alarm about a protest in a Southern Baptist church led by an ICE agent-cum-pastor, Adam Carrasquillo takes us on an instructive stroll through all the times in the past year ICE terrorized worshipers at churches in Los Angeles, Chicago, Charlotte, Minneapolis, etc.

"The arrest of Don Lemon is a warning. It tells us that this regime has already become very comfortable with surveillance and people-grabbing and is now willing to test whether it can punish those who demonstrate its illegalities. The bottom line is that this is a bunch of criminals. If we just move along, we are empowering Trump and his coterie."

Ready for another dismissal snd embarrassment for the Trump justice department

The Case Against Don Lemon Is Junk, and Dangerous

One year in, the #Trump administration has amassed a startling record of hostility toward open public discourse—including barring journalists from the White House press pool, evicting any less-than-sycophantic reporters from the Pentagon, and, just this month, sending the #FBI to search the home of a WP reporter.

Today, it crossed a new line. It arrested two journalists: #DonLemon, the former #CNN news personality, and #GeorgiaFort, a freelance reporter based in #Minnesota.

This moment is bigger than two journalists. It is about whether the First Amendment has meaning when reporting is inconvenient to those in power."

#Journalism

"We know why journalists are being arrested now. The more lawless governments become, the more they need to control the narrative, which involves silencing some facts and inventing others to fabricate the reality that suits their purposes. The ultimate goal is to gain enough power to have a monopoly on who can tell the stories about the past and the present."

"Authoritarian systems do not begin by jailing everyone. They begin by isolating voices. They begin by making examples. They begin by teaching the public that speaking up carries a cost.

And journalists are always near the top of that list.

Why?

Because journalists give voice to the people."

"Trump has employed the chaos strategy for years, doing so many awful things all at once so his political opponents can’t craft a message to address it all or successfully organize to stop his obvious wrongs.

But it’s especially terrifying now, as the strategy is an effort to get away with literal murder, financial heist, and election rigging."

"As Americans watch in horror as immigration goons are jailing innocent kids and killing U.S. citizens who dare to exercise their constitutional rights, President Donald Trump is flooding the zone with so much chaotic and horrific news in an effort to overwhelm the public."

"These charges are clearly political and they are clearly unwarranted. They have to know at the Justice Department that they cannot get a conviction. They have to know that because they've been told that by five different federal judges."

"It’s about intimidating journalists & attempting to make them censure themselves out of fear of consequences, which can be very expensive, especially for an independent journalist who lacks the backing of a major company. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism."

"When the Washington Post reporter's home was searched, her computer, her phone were seized, and The owner of the Washington Post, Jeff Bezos, said nothing. He still has said nothing. This is the reaction you get from legacy media when their reporters are abused."

"The fact that independent media now has such a great burden to carry is both our privilege, our obligation, and a sad commentary on what's happened to the legacy media. Now, I want to point something out, the dog that did not bark."

"Every reference to Trump should include the fact that he is a twice-impeached, convicted felon who lies whenever he speaks. The press has bowed before Trump for eight years. He learned from their subservience and took the next logical step. It is time for the mainstream media to become part of the resistance. Better late than never!"

"Everything Trump says is a lie, but the media dutifully repeats Trump’s lies as if they deserve equal dignity with truthful statements by Democrats. …

In the face of the arrest of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort, every news agency with a White House pool reporter should recall the reporter from the assignment and turn in their White House credentials."

"Members of the media are understandably outraged, as they should be. This is a five-alarm fire. But it is one that has been burning for eight years. Trump attacked, mocked, and sued journalists in his first term. But the media continued to report on Trump as if he were a 'normal' president who deserved to be treated with a presumption of regularity and respect."

The Arrest of Don Lemon and Black Journalists: Why the First Amendment is Dying in Plain Sight
