Two courts told the Department of Justice that he and another journalist couldn’t be arrested for covering a church protest. The Trump regime went ahead anyway, following the authoritarian playbook.
Your brave involvement with the history of press freedom is such an important reminder of what our country was founded upon, Freedom of the Press, Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Association, Separation of Church and State and the right to protest. Don Lemon and Georgia Fort's arrests should really shut down any negotiation by the Democrats about funding ICE any further. WAKE UP! RESIST! Call your Senators today!
Sorry but it looks to me like free speech and free press did NOT prevent fascism so now they are going to get rid of it? I believe the point of both of those things is to motivate voters and not just something to recite. Why does the left have such a problem making voter turn as a the one thing we can't say maybe to. It's really hard to ignore the role of the electorate is to outvote their opponents. I heard Heather and Mike earlier in the week and she and Mike are great together but I couldn't help but note of total acceptance that losing by low voter turnout in 2026 is just something we have to live with just like we are living right now. How did the act of simple rational voting consistently become a weapon by Progressives to punish the Dems and handing America over to the fascist because they are feeling pissy about the Dems. How soon will Progressives threaten us with their votes if restoring America takes more than 2 years? The lying will absolutely not stop and everybody is subject to the same propaganda that caused the SCOTUS debacle that Hillary was such an unacceptable candidate we have to let Trump nominate SCOTUS judges. No such thing as not voting giving you clean hands. 2024 changed my opinion forever about liberals. I'll never go red but I won't stop criticizing liberal ignorance until I'm sure its gone
I thought for sure the left had learned this valuable lesson in 2000, when we got Bush instead of Gore (I'm also looking at you, Ralph Nader), and his SCOTUS Justices Roberts and Alito. But we always seem to ignore history, rather than learn from it.
I think the left picks up on what the right says about the Dems more than we realize when you look at who benefits every time the Progs don't vote. Liberals get so carried away with current events and the next moral outrage and blame both sides another propaganda win for the right. Hartmann says the most effective propaganda is telling people their vote is worthless because the GOP always benefits from low turn out. When I first got on social media in 2015it was Raw Story.
I was surprised at vitriol this supposed liberal new source had lots for Hillary bashing using same talking points the right use for 30 years to discredit her Anyway before I get too far into this I have to say Fox is an incurable cancer that will always be a huge influence in the destruction of our democracy and no amount of free speech ends that threat. It seems any major studies about why Progressives and some liberal Democrat don't vote even in the worst circumstances has yet to be done. These are people who claim so much compassion for others but focus only on themselves and their opinion of the candidate ignoring how their decision not to vote hurts others. We do voting terribly.
Thank you for explaining where this ruthless DOJ has gone in order to persecute/prosecute Lemon and Fort. While the prosecution of these two will probably end up in a ditch somewhere, it will have cost them time and money, and that's part of the playbook - wear people down until they don't want to fight back any more. I respect both of them for wanting to bring us all the stories of the Minneapolis resistance, and hope something good will come of this. Don has to be particularly careful, because Trump history shows that he's always planning something that will hurt African Americans (and Africans) the most.
Thanks for your immediate, clear, insightful analysis. I've read your books and listened to your show for decades, and yet somehow my respect for you keeps increasing.
The only reason this church protest is even a case is that Minnesota is a single federal judicial district. Which means any grand jury or petit jury will include people from outside the Twin Cities.
We truly do live in a dictatorship. It is not incipient, it is fully formed. The only question is how do we extricate ourselves. Forget elections, they are going to be rigged, Bondi's demand that Walz turn over voter records, the raid on Fulton county, was not about 2020,it was about 2026 and 2028 per Greg Palast. https://gregpalastinvestigates.substack.com/p/you-are-watching-the-theft-of-2026
Elections, forget about, it. The law, compromised by SCOTUS and Trumpified District Courts.
Protests are scoffed at, and protesters arrested, jailed, beat and shot.
Non violent resistance only works in a democratic society, witness Iran and Turkey and Russia.
The Brits didn't leave India because of Ghandi, it was millions of angry and armed Indians, and the "ghosts" of Subras Chandra Bose and the Indian National Army.
"They" only listen, when "they" and their wealth is threatened, and they react with violence.
Their power depends on our cowardice and complicity..
I was told yesterday by a retired Administrative Judge, that the remedy might hurt, that he was not issued a "hair shirt", meaning he wasn't willing to endure pain. No pain no gain. Those that can't bear pain are the first to flip.
I've always been a fan of Don Lemon, and I hated the way CNN treated him. Seeing where CNN is now, he's doing much better in his role as an independent journalist. He and Georgia Fort have my support.
Hi Mike, and yet Blondi Bondi goes to a GJ after no judge would sign on to arrest a journalist. I’m guessing the head of that church doesn’t care for journalists or protesters as he is an employee of ICE. So my question to Pam and her underlings is.. 2 weeks ago in Mississippi a synagogue was burned to the ground… On Holocaust Memorial Day some rando got in his car, drove to 770 Parkway in NYC and attempted to break down the front door with his car, backed the car up and attempted the same again. A pattern is emerging and it is not a good one and yet…and yet, no comments on these assaults on the Jewish community… Hey Pam, why don’t you do your job?
Does this represent the standard of conduct required when protesting church pastors who teach the worship of the 3rd Reicht? Then my religious duty is to show up to protest you.
You all did nothing about the Westboro Baptist Church disrupting veterans funerals with their hate for an entire decade, so suck it up.

Right On VEG!
Hopefully he successfully sues the fuck out of them.
Fuck Donald Trump
Yes! He's such a fucking fuck! Fuck that sundowning creep.

This is fucking ridiculous! The charges won't stand up in court. But this corrupt cabal can drag everything out and harass him 🤦🏾♀️ 🤬

Hmm. makes me wonder if it is D.S. 'Wez was robbed' LOL. Unfortunately true but sad.
Who's next?
Exceptionally crafted piece, Trumps injustice department condones violence from the transnational criminal syndicate. It’s an absurd abuse of law!
