“It is one of the scariest moments of my life and in my career to know that a fellow journalist, an award winning journalist, a vetted journalist, whose credentials are impeccable, is right now sitting in federal custody for doing her duty.”

@donlemonofficial.bsky.social: "There is no more important time than right now, this very moment, for a free and independent media that shines a light on the truth and holds those in power accountable. Again, I will not stop now. I will not stop ever."

Alarmed yet?

Chicago Woman Shot 5 Times By Border Agents Will Testify In Washington Next Week Marimar Martinez will speak at a federal forum on immigration agents' use of force as she fights to unseal evidence in her now-dropped prosecution.

Marimar Martinez is a hero.

She was shot 5 times by ICE.

The agent told her to “do something b*tch” before opening fire.

He later bragged “5 shots, 7 holes”.

DHS tried to smear her reputation but video footage vindicated her.

Next week she will testify in Washington about ICE’s brutality.

MINNEAPOLIS: “Thousands and thousands— the people of Minneapolis are not letting up. Despite Tom Homan saying there’s a drawdown, these people don’t believe it. They want ICE OUT COMPLETELY.”

THEY DID IT. EVERY SENATE DEMOCRAT just voted on an amendment to DEFUND ICE (rescind the BBB slush fund that keeps ICE open during a shutdown.) This amendment failed, but it shows broad support! KEEP CALLING and make it a demand to vote for the DHS funding bill!!

🎧 listen this is heartbreaking 💔

@coldfishstix on TikTok for the whole track

This should piss everyone off, and our tax dollars paid for this.

A massive building purchased by ICE for $70 million in Arizona to “warehouse” immigrants.

Calling this “housing” is a lie. This is storage. This is treating human beings like inventory.

Perhaps not a huge surprise Elon Musk is in the Epstein files

They tried intimidation. Minnesota answered with people.

Downtown Minneapolis today! ✊

“They arrested him for his speech. This is state tyranny.”

@michaelsteele.bsky.social and @timmiller.bsky.social discuss Don Lemon's arrest on today's episode of the Bulwark Podcast.

Hell, yeah.

“I’ve got white skin, so I’m using my privilege to speak for my friends and neighbors. We’re telling them to stay home and stay safe, and we’re coming out and fighting for them.”

Don Lemon speaks outside of the courtroom after release: "I have spent my entire life covering the news. I will not stop now ... I will not be silenced."

Whoa. This is from an FBI email with the subect "Re: Epstein - Cellmate Interview"

Here are the summaries provided by the FBI agent.

Defang ICE → Save the Midterms The fight over ICE isn’t just about civil rights. It’s about free and fair elections, too.

ICE and the Border Patrol pose a threat not just to our civil liberties but to our political liberties. The fight for free and fair elections is paramount.

Press conferences and social media posts have not changed conditions on the ground. Another person taken today off of Central Ave and Northeast middle school had to delay letting kids leave because of ICE presence in the area. The federal government continues to make our community less safe.

My first remarks since being arrested last night.

Don Lemon on January 20 after the Justice Dept. first threatened him:

"We were there chronicling protests... Once the protest started in the church, we did an act of journalism, which was report on it and talk to the people who were involved... That's it... It's called journalism. First Amendment."

Why is Trump so hell-bent on defunding PBS?It’s part of a larger plan — one where he can control not just what we do, bu Why Does Trump Hate Sesame Street?

The Trump regime arrested four journalists, including former CNN anchor Don Lemon, today.

This blatant suppression of the First Amendment is part of a larger plan: to control not just what we do, but what we see and access. Watch. https://youtu.be/rEH7sF6pA4s?si=Gk1jawFu20cRuJ1-

The crowd protesting against ICE in Minneapolis is growing larger every minute.

Similar marches are happening all across the country.

Minnesotans have had enough. Our country has had enough. ICE OUT NOW.

📍Minneapolis, Minnesota

Ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon arrested on charges connected to Minnesota church protest Lemon’s lawyer said he was taken into custody after attending protest in which demonstrators disrupted a church service earlier in January

The arrest of Don Lemon is yet another alarming attack by the Trump administration on Americans’ First Amendment rights.

A free press is fundamental to democracy. This is unacceptable & we will continue to fight back. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
