IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY - 72 - and all I want for my birthday is for you to RETWEET THIS VIDEO!

The church's pastor, David Easterwood, is Field Office Director for ICE—one of the highest-ranking deportation officials in the Midwest.

Protesters were there to expose what they saw as an official using religious privacy as cover. Reporters were there to document it.

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

Arresting a journalist is a blatant attempt to intimidate and a further indicator of Trump’s authoritarianism. It goes against the most fundamental American values outlined in the First Amendment.

Don Lemon has been on the ground in Minnesota like hundreds of others doing the vital work of covering Trump’s lawlessness and chaos. These charges should be dropped and he should be released.

[Sam Stein @samstein]

Seriously, i'd like to hear a single peep from the Twitter Files crew bout the Don Lemmon arrest. you may not like Don. You may find the church protest stunt stupid. you may be fine arresting the protestors. But live streaming and covering it is a 1st amendment right you should ostensibly support.

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

Arresting Don Lemon is a phenomenally stupid thing the Trump administration has done. They’re going to regret it. He’ll only become a bigger voice in the anti-Trump resistance, this case is gonna get thrown out, and his DOJ is gonna get embarrassed again.

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

Don Lemon is an accomplished journalist whose urgent work is protected by the First Amendment.

There is zero basis to arrest him and he should be freed immediately.

The Trump Justice Department is illegitimate and these extremists will all be held accountable for their crimes against the Constitution.

[Fred Guttenberg @fred_guttenberg]

Today, Don Lemon is all of us. He was arrested for 1A rights. That means, any of us can be arrested now. Because of who the current occupant of the White House is, I am not surprised that this is happening.

I BLAME EVERY ELECTED ENABLER IN CONGRESS FOR ALLOWING THIS TO HAPPEN.

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

They tried so hard to suppress this video today.

But because of YOU, it is now TRENDING.

Please RETWEET and QUOTE TWEET this important video reminding us all WHO WE WERE BEFORE TRUMP

[Brian Stelter @brianstelter]

A statement from the family of Alex Pretti, obtained by CNN:

"We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.

The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."

questions for Republican senators:

killing desperately-poor kids in Africa by cutting lifesaving USAID programs wasn't too much for you?

slaughtering helpless men clinging to boat wreckage in the ocean wasn't too much?

how about ICE agents murdering a woman in her car?

[Really American 🇺🇸 @ReallyAmerican1]

BREAKING: In a nice Illinois suburb, the Hoffman Estates, ICE dragged a 15 year old girl out of a car then slammed her to the ground and pinned her face down while kneeling on her neck.

“I’m 15!” she yells. “I’m not resisting!”

[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

This is Reverend David Black, minister of the First Presbyterian Church in Chicago. He was shot seven times in the head with chemical pellets by ICE agents as he was kneeling to pray at a protest.

RETWEET if you stand with Reverend Black against the Trump Administration!

[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

RETWEET if you stand with Jimmy Kimmel!

[Maine @TheMaineWonk]

President Obama, who won by wider margins than Trump TWICE, has entered the chat.

Don’t retweet this. You’ll upset MAGA.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

LMAO. This your king? More people showed up in Idaho to protest Trump than showed up to celebrate him in D.C.

His “birthday parade” crowd couldn’t fill a food court. Don’t let him gaslight you; share this footage before they pretend it never happened.

[Devin Duke @sirDukeDevin]

Great sign. 💥
