Feds arrest Don Lemon, Minnesota journalist and 2 others over church protest Lemon was arrested by U.S. agents days after covering an anti-ICE protest at a St. Paul, Minn., church. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi called the protest a "coordinated attack."

We’re here! The #policestate is arresting #journalists now. If you haven’t taken action yet, this is the time to start.

#PublicHealth is political.
Health professionals must stand with #NNU largest nurses union and call for the abolition of ICE because it is causing harm to communities, including suffering of individuals and death. Like any other public health threat, we must stand up and speak out. #AbolishICE

94% of Americans believe that leadership in #Venezuela should be decided by Venezuelans. #Trump and #StephenMiller are in the other 6%. Let that sink in #GOP.

#HappyNewYear! #ZohranMamdani was sworn in as mayor of NYC today, an inspiration and, perhaps, the beginning of major change in the country. We need a big pivot: an America that is rid of #corruption, insanity and blatant #injustice. Let’s hope and act for this in 2026! #Trump #Oligarchy

#Trump is withholding federal money to the #Democratic States that voted for Kamala Harris. What to do? Put our federal taxes in escrow until release & charge the federal government market rates for all federal services routinely done at the state level….

Do they think they are safer to continue business if they capitulate? It’s never enough with the Trump regime. They will continue to extort.

Push back. That’s the only way to save democracyβ€”if we can. #PamBondi #Corruption #Iceblock #Apple #Google #FreeSpeech

Joshua Aaron, Iceblock app creator, is right in his determination to fight back. He’s doing the right thing. Apple caved and removed the Iceblock app after Pam Bondi threatened Apple and Joshua. Google caved over an app or two BEFORE any threat. Caving to an authoritarian regime is pathetic. #Trump

West Coast states will establish own vaccine guidelines, citing Trump's 'dismantling' of the CDC The three Western states will coordinate public health guidelines based on recommendations from β€œscientific experts in trusted medical professional organizations.”

In response to #Trump dismantling the #CDC, the governors of Washington, Oregon and California are forming a coalition to establish their own vaccine and immunization recommendations.
Wow. It takes courage and we’ve got it on the West Coast!

Federal trade court blocks Trump's emergency tariffs, saying he overstepped authority A federal trade court ruled Wednesday that many of the tariffs President Trump has imposed so far exceeded his power under the International Economic Emergency Powers Act.

Federal Trade Court blocks Trump’s emergency tariffs. No Surprise! The U.S. President does not have unbounded authority to impose tariffs. Remember Congress???

Fascist leaders always take away women’s rights. They must disempower 1/2 of the population. It’s always that way.

The Trump playbook seems to be very much in line with Hitler in the 1930s.
