The more they squeeze, the louder we shout. I'll be protesting tomorrow. Will you?

Shades of Russia, Belarus, China, Myanmar, Iran, and Israel to name but a few nations involved in the suppression of dissent. I can hardly believe Dom Lemon was targeted: I listen to his conversations with Mike Nellis regularly. They speak for all of us, as do other targeted pundits and journalists. Wow. We all know about rogue cops, but the entire Trump administration is beyond rogue—the most corrupt bunch of leeches ever. I bet there’s a book for all the victims of this misadventure, however!

The Trump regime is following the autocrat's playbook. Those who fail to recognize this will inevitably pay the price themselves. We must resist. Write. Protest. VOTE!

"Journalism is not a crime. Arresting or detaining journalists for covering protests, public events, or government actions represents a grave threat to press freedom and risks chilling reporting nationwide."

Could it be any more clearly stated than that? The DoJ and FBI are arresting and charging the wrong people. Look at those who are creating the unrest, trouble, and murders - agents of your own government. While at it, investigate the DHS, and either get Bondi and Noem to resign or impeach them for crimes against humanity.

The Trump Train continues to drag our country off its rails. There is no conceivable legitimate Legal grounds for arresting Don Lemon. And, any lawyer who doesn’t know that has no business having a license to practice law, let alone be the Attorney General of the United States!

That’s abuse of process, and malicious prosecution!

It's going to take a generation's worth of sane adults running the government to undo the damage Don the Con has inflicted in only 1 year-- and we still have 3 more to go!

Now what are the odds that we'll manage to get a generation of sane adults in the government after Don the Con is gone? Not very good, I say.

Fingers crossed that the Democrats manage to capture both Houses of Congress in November, but I'm not convinced that will even slow Don the Con down, let alone stop him-- especially since I don't think that the spinless, conscience-missing GQP in the Senate would ever vote to convict him were he to be impeached (which he richly deserves) so the votes of 2/3 of Senators to convict probably are not there.

And another step on the road to the "thousand year orange convicted felon/stephen miller fascist reich." Hey rasputin miller, you do know that an awful lot of bigots (like you, only opposite) do not consider Jews white? What are you going to do when they come after you?

Jews not white??? (What is wrong with this picture.)

Google it. You'd be amazed at how many bigots there are who maintain exactly that.

I thought I had read that somewhere some time ago, but wasn't sure. So I googled it again today (actually, I use DuckDuckGo) and that's what I found. See:

Thanks for that, AB. Will read. DuckDuckGo and I are strangers, but I'd love to meet an alternative to Google.

I can’t wait for a judge to give a severe comeuppance to whatever government lawyer that represents the DOJ in court.

Malicious arrests and attacks on first amendment rights has occurred with the arrests of these two journalists. No way in hell should this ever be tolerated in the United States of America. We must all vigorously fight and defend our rights and freedoms from these lawless criminal thugs.
