When it comes to Trump, we need to face that this is not just some guy doing one random thing after another. This is somebody who is setting about—in a systematic way—to destroy institutions.

Is it not obvious to everyone by now that Trump is acting on Putin's orders, and that this is a form or treachery
towards the United States ?

Això és desolador. Jes Stanley, CEO de Barclays, explicant a Epstein que no ha de témer possibles revoltes populars contra elits financeres perquè el capitalisme i la cultura pop han aplacat els moviments socials i la gent ja prefereix els béns de consum a la justícia social.

Marc Elias: I am here to sound a larger and louder alarm than I ever have before. [Trump's] is setting up the mechanism to seize ballots in 2026. He has found a prosecutor in Missouri. That prosecutor apparently has nationwide jurisdiction, so he has found a willing prosecutor to do these things.

This is right and the political question is whether enough white collar middle class voters realize this and try to create an anti-billionaire coalition with blue-collar workers (as opposed to hoping for good billionaires).

@BillKristol So so sad.

[Sarah Fitzpatrick @S_Fitzpatrick]

Still thinking about what a former DOJ counter intel chief told me after watching his former agency seize Americans’ ballots in GA this week: “There could be few more well-trod hallmarks of authoritarianism than control over electoral processes to get the results that the ruler wants”. @yvonnewingett @TheAtlantic https://t.co/ttrjX5i79K

They arrested Don Lemon. This is horrifying. I don’t care what your political beliefs or leanings are, what journalism outlet you represent, this absolutely cannot stand.

[Andrew Weinstein @Weinsteinlaw]

We’re in a dark chapter of American history when the government targets those who document injustice instead of those who commit it.

[Jaime Harrison @harrisonjaime]

The fascists are now arresting journalists…

We haven't been told what government agents MURDERED ALEX PRETTI IN THE STREET. But the FBI has arrested the real danger, Don Lemon, for livestreaming against the regime.

[Jim Acosta @Acosta]

Attorney for my colleague and friend Don Lemon has released a statement saying Don was arrested by federal agents in LA last night. This is outrageous and cannot stand. The First Amendment is under attack in America!

[Gretchen Carlson @GretchenCarlson]

Just when you thought things were toned down in MN — the DOJ arrests Don Lemon for being an “activist” at a church protest — not a journalist. A judge blocked arresting him but that didn’t stop Trump w/his enemy list. It’s not a crime to be a journalist in this country — yet.

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.
