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. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/2026/01/don-lemon-arrest/685840/

"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." #DonLemon #GeorgiaFort #Trump #ReneeGood #AlexPretti #ICE #murder #execution #media #journalists #FirstAmendment #WhiteSupremacy /14

"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." ~ Joyce Vance #DonLemon #GeorgiaFort #Trump #media #journalists #FirstAmendment /11 https://joycevance.substack.com/p/why-indict-don-lemon

"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.

"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." ~ Robert B.

"The administration is appealing to the MAGA racist and Christian nationalist base by demonstrating that it is willing to violate the Constitution to impose MAGA’s ideology on the nation. But it is also apparently trying to signal to white American citizens that they should think they are safe from an authoritarian administration: its top victims remain Black Americans and people of color." #DonLemon #GeorgiaFort #Trump #ReneeGood #AlexPretti #ICE #CBP #murder #execution #WhiteSupremacy /5
