As my dear friend Don Lemon knows, journalism is one of the most dangerous jobs on earth. Don is boots on the ground, bearing witness, asking hard questions, and risking his safety to hold our government accountable. That is courage. That is journalism.
Don was arrested despite a federal judge rejecting prosecutors’ bid to charge him last week. This is outrageous.
Journalists face harassment, imprisonment, and death simply for doing their jobs. You don’t need a passport to find this out. Just ask Don Lemon. Energy spent targeting reporters would be far better spent investigating the real issues, like the systemic injustices that brought people into the streets in the first place. Don must be released immediately.
Scientists just warned that if we don’t stop all emissions within 20 years, billions of people will suffer.
Almost no media coverage.
Almost no social media reaction.
Let’s be honest - the people who consider themselves liberal have been almost as bad on this issue as the right.
Hardly anyone even *talks* about it.

She asks if Trump’s family doing business in Saudi Arabia is a conflict of interest and then asks MBS about Khashoggi saying 9/11 families are furious he’s at the White House.
Trump calls ABC fake news
Survivors shouldn’t have to fight Congress to be believed. Yet the GOP keeps delaying, scrubbing, and shielding the Epstein documents while pushing healthcare cuts that hit trauma survivors hardest.
Protection for predators, punishment for victims.

We need digital IDs to halt migration, increase efficiency, & safeguard data, they say. But border control does not require digital IDs and centralizing data is a hacker's dream. The real reason they want digital ID is for billions in fees and the control of our behavior.
"The Department of Justice’s efforts to bully state election officials to compromise sensitive voter data," said one advocate, "are a threat to the very democratic principles of free and fair elections." https://t.co/yBxi2bK6Ye

“If you are alone, then nature becomes Nature, a person, someone to whom you can almost talk. You do not only walk through measured miles; you sit, dreaming, contemplating, absorbing it all, through unmeasured minutes.” ~C.R.Milne #nature
Citizens United allows unlimited spending on political candidates/issues by Super PACs. Dark money in politics gives wealthy donors outsized influence, making candidates dependent for their political power.

Chicago this evening has the 5th worst air quality of any major city on the planet.
If exposed to the current air quality in Chicago for 24 hours, it would be equivalent to smoking about 2 cigarettes.
