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.
4 Black journalists have been kidnapped by the federal government
We're seeing a massive institutional deportation and state violence apparatus being built and it honestly feels like people dont grasp the sheer scale of it and what already is in place. For every horrific video of masked feds kidnapping people there are so many people pushing paper to help.
It is impossible to imagine people allowing this to go on (or even participating in it within the government) if he was ordering the murder without any process of French citizens or Brits or Australians on boats no matter what they were alleged to be doing.
Anthony DiLorenzo: PIX-11 was tipped about ICE raid. NYers react:
"People just stopped in their tracks. People were going to school. People were coming home from work or just commuting. And stopped to scream at these ICE agents. Pulled out their phones started recording and telling them to leave."
If you keep lowering your standards to “win” against the other side, eventually you’ll just be on the other side
All eyes on Broadview, Illinois tonight.
Broadview is a suburb about 12 miles west of Chicago.
Our friends are reporting on the scene ⬇️
Witness video shows federal agents throwing tear gas canisters in the middle of Armitage Ave today as they appear to be blocked in and heckled by angry neighbors.
This is around the 3500 block of West Armitage.
U.S. Rep. Delia Ramirez released statement on particularly chaotic day and chaotic week:
ICE is out of control. ICE is operating with impunity outside the confines of the law. ICE is trampling our rights. ICE is terrorizing our communities.
One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.
"Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Wednesday he will join Italy in sending a military warship to protect an international flotilla seeking to deliver aid to Gaza after it was attacked by drones off Greece."

Google: here's an AI summary!

I think the problem with rallying around the most privileged when they've been targeted is that it never trickles down.
they're touted as examples for "all of us" but it's not actually true.
JON KARL: What do you make of Pam Bondi saying she's gonna go after hate speech? A lot of your allies say hate speech is free speech
TRUMP: We'll probably go after people like you because you treat me so unfairly. You have a lot of hate in your hate. Maybe they'll have to go after you.
"It is not just, for instance, that Kirk held disagreeable views—that he was pro-life, that he believed in public executions, or that he rejected the separation of church and state. It’s that Kirk reveled in open bigotry."
Stephen Miller tweet: The path forward is not to mimic the ACLU of the mid 90’s. It is to take all necessary and rational steps to save Western Civilization. Elon Musk reply: Yes
Sure looks like Stephen Miller is saying to do away with free speech to silence, jail, and crush those who speak out against his efforts. And the "free speech absolutist" Elon Musk is agreeing with him.
Can't believe so many people still claim that he's a "free speech absolutist."
Fox News is really out here responding to a right wing shooter by blaming the left for violent political rhetoric while themselves calling to mass euthanize homeless and mentally ill people. Beyond parody and absolutely deadly.
They're also revealing their ignorance of the online economy. Kirk was doing the opposite of persuasion; he was chopping up clips of ill-informed students designed to reassure his followers that their opponents were all morons and it wasn't worth inquiring into their ideas any further
Those reading this as approval of Kirk’s killing are reading words that aren’t there. I don’t want to live in a world of normalized violence. Charlie Kirk spent his life ensuring we all have to live in such a world. We do everything a disservice to elide the reality of that.
The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.
Glenn Beck’s media outlet The Blaze just gave an interview last month to the person who killed the politicians in Minnesota
trump correctly grasps that conservatives do not believe there is a real distinction between their movement and the state
As a public figure himself, Kirk did not restrict himself to politeness. He was incredibly crude and cruel about the deaths of other people. Reflecting on his life should reflect the truth.
Just spoke to someone who drove an hour and a half to another state to get the Covid vaccine, which he had to pay over 200 for. People should not have to do that.
I would be happy if I never heard the name Graham Linehan again, but I do feel the need to comment, because the nature of a lot of the abuse trans people receive is straight up sexual harassment, but is not recognized as such because the victim is trans.
What Glinner is doing is sexual harassment.
Pro tip for covering pregnancy-related arrests: don't use the word 'infant' before finding out what actually happened.
More often than not, these are miscarriages, but outlets will repeat the language cops use - smearing women in the process

considering republicans are trying to traffic children literally as we speak, “we will protect your children from republicans” is a broadly applicable goal that seems easy to sell but i guess we don’t talk about child safety at the kitchen table?
The thing the mainstream media is not remembering about Hurricane Katrina is their own lethal, racist contribution to treating rumors as facts used to demonize the stranded in New Orleans, turning them from victims to be aided to enemies to be contained.
