Protesters are turning to economic disruption to fight ICE. Last Friday, protesters across the U.S. missed work and school as part of an anti-ICE shutdown. Thousands showed up in Downtown LA to protest the agency, many—including City Councilmember Nithya Raman—supporting calls for a general strike.

One detail getting lost in the coverage of Don Lemon's arrest?

The church at the center of the case has ties to the Christian nationalist movement, including the “TheoBros," a loose network of mostly millennial, extremely online Christian nationalist pastors, podcasters, and shitposters.

My statement on the arrests of journalists Georgia Fort and Don Lemon.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning

I was sent this video of agents at her door:

Bondi directed federal agents to arrest four journalists.

Georgia Fort, Don Lemon, Jamael Lundy, and Trahern Crews.
