- Reposted by The Sidney Hillman Foundationthe practical effect of arresting lemon et al is to spark widespread condemnation, especially since these arrests will certainly be thrown out. this doesn't mean the action isn't a dangerous escalation, it does mean the white house doesn't know what to do but spam its only attack
- Reposted by The Sidney Hillman Foundationthe arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.
- It's not just Don Lemon! Journalist and BLCK Press Founder Georgia Fort was arrested for reporting on a Minneapolis church protest.

- Reposted by The Sidney Hillman FoundationRemarkable how brutal the ruling against Trump on Abrego Garcia truly is: It details flagrant and malicious abuses of power all throughout.

- Did you know that children as young as 12 can legally work on farms in CA? This month’s Sidney winners found that thousands of kids are toiling in fields, getting exposed to pesticides, and dreading immigration raids. And the state is unable to protect them.

The press here is doing astounding work documenting how ICE is out of control. The violence they face in doing so is obscene.
