How the hell does your own government arrest you for reporting the news?! This is not Russia! I’m so sick of these corrupt individuals wanting to control the narrative!!!

Skye's avatar

Well, this is not a government anymore. There is no “governing” anymore. This is not a government of the people anymore. It is authoritarianism and oligarchy and is making moves out of the fascist playbook consistently.

And they don't appear to be slowing down or stopping. 3 more years? The future is very dark

Skye's avatar

They are not slowing down or stopping. We are living in MN and can see much

I continually pray for the people of Minnesota who are under siege by the regime in Washington. The courage and steadfast determination of ordinary citizens is inspiring to those of us who are not facing invasion by the felon’s personal army. Please stand strong. I pray you remain safe.

Peter Tey's avatar

Eventually we will all be occupied like Minnesota

Take them as our example

FIGHT BACK

The area where i am has an ICE presence, but unlike Minnesota not as large. I don ‘t like anything that happening, but I will not give up.

They have no case against Don Lemon or Ms. Roth they were denied warrants by two Magistrates in Minnesota so the took it to a Grand Jury!

Jamae's avatar

Absolutely! This regime are serving the oligarchy and the tech bros. The rest of us, we the people, are nothing, we are just in their way. They will slaughter, starve, imprison any one who doesn’t bend the knee.

Sally Devoe's avatar

I had wondered which politician would be arrested first. So it is two journalists first. Next will be elected democrats that Trump admittedly hates.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Sadly it might happen sooner than we think!

Timothy Richley's avatar

It’s not a government it’s a Regime

It is Russia, it is now rUsSiA; I don’t like it either.

But let’s face the facts, and then push to change trajectory.

Peter Tey's avatar

Take the people of Minnesota as example

Linda Baldassare's avatar

This is Revenge especially for Don Lemon because the first term with Donald, Don was totally accurate with reporting on the Trump admin! And somehow I knew that Trump was going to get even !

Allison Kukowski's avatar

Well, he is a giant child. Anyone who hurt his fragile feelings is on his revenge list.

AddictedToBooksAndMyDog's avatar

So true. How can he possibly silence ALL the journalists who share the TRUTH?! Don Lemon is, and has always been, courageous.

Timothy Richley's avatar

From where I sit, doesn't look like they wanting to control the narrative, they are already doing it. Corporate Media having bent the knee(like CBS)continue to shovel those parts of the trump BS mountain as they are told

Kristi Eisenberg's avatar

No, it isn’t Russia, it’s North Korea.

regina chavis's avatar

Me too! I had to get off Newsbreak. Tik tok and Instagram. X is not even a question.

Skye's avatar

This is an attention economy with our phones and outdated/highly controlled social media. Wise to delete the apps of the oligarchs. Wise to get off tik tok and FB and Instagram and Meta and not spend any of your money at Amazon because …when we remain on those platforms it feeds the very thing hurting us people by giving the oligarchs money and data they can sell when we have our eyeballs on their apps.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I deleted FB, IG, Twitter 10 years ago! I don't miss that toxic shit! I only have Youtube and Substack. I was just telling my husband yesterday, I will NEVER buy another Apple device! Fuck Tim Cook! If my phone dies, I'll just get a flip phone!

Camille Kelly's avatar

Or Samsung android. Good phones, South Korean made.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Right. I'm not a fan of Android. It was my first smartphone and I quickly changed to iPhone. I've had iPhones since 2012. My husband hates iPhones and loves his Samsung. I do love my LG TVs though! 😉

Camille Kelly's avatar

I hear ya, my oldest son loves iPhone, youngest loves Samsung. I've had the same Samsung phone for 8 years works great.

regina chavis's avatar

I gave my I phone back. Too dam busy and nosy. All those game ads. I was like where am I . I have to be organize on my phone. Financial Apps, have to line up..lol..I have one game.. Military training..lol

Camille Kelly's avatar

Oh Skye, I so deeply wish for any non trump supporter to get rid of FB, X, Tik Tok, Instagram and Amazon. Most of the things they ship can be found elsewhere. I did it after trump came back, adjusted and haven't looked back. Keep pushing for this. Money is always their bottom line. ✔

Valerie Smyth's avatar

BUT WE ARE ADDICTED

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I'd be willing to go through withdrawls 😂

regina chavis's avatar

You are so right. ...Amazon..I know Bezos is a dam trip..Greed..None give a dam.Oh And I really dont spend,spend with Amazon.

Mimi Iannillo's avatar

Geographically, not Russia. In all other aspects yes, that’s what this country has become. The streets of Minneapolis now running with the blood of so many; Renee and Alex gave all for what has become a shit hole country. Countless others beaten savagely, shedding their blood for love of this country as so many before have.

The billions of dollars of the Elite cannot buy what we have - UNITY!

Peter Tey's avatar

Bravo

Yes we all should keep that in mind...UNITY

Suede67's avatar

Not Russia...yet. However, with tRump in the House it will be soon enough.

Phyllis Greenberg's avatar

Yes it is Russia…

Donna Trott's avatar

I THINK UNTIL RUSSIA GETS PAID BACK ITS BEEN OWNED FOR YEARS WHEN , EVERYTHING A PERSON WAS BELLY UP, IT WILL BE RUN AND WE WILL KISS PUTINS BUTT FOR THE REST OF TIME, JUST LIKE OUR PRICES GO UP, OUR HEALTH CARE GOES DOWN THE TOILET AD HAVE MORE PEOPLE WANTING TO BOMB US OUT THEN IN OUR LIFETIME. EVEN THE RUSSIA PRINTED BIBLES ARE NOT MAKING MONEY ANY MORE..FREEDOM OF SPEACH IS NON EXISTANT IN OUR COUNTRY. REMIND YOU OF ANY OTHER LEADER THAT GETS HIS A$$ KISSED>

J Cheng's avatar

This is yet another disgrace on the US. Vote, vote, vote every chance you get so we can get the crazy, incompetent people out of office before we are all under a dictatorship.

Peter Tey's avatar

HE WANTS TO MAKE IT LIKE RUSSIA, HIS IDOL

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

It is exactly Russia now!

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Truly disturbing! I'm so angry! How is this going to stand with his arrest if 2 judges wouldn't touch it? We are no longer a democracy, people! We are a fascist country now!

Danita Hamilton's avatar

Me too pissed as hell

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

It was the first thing I heard this morning when I woke up! I was/am beyond LIVID!! I'm so sick of this shit!

Danita Hamilton's avatar

Me too I couldn’t believe it I’m with Don and all Independent media 💯💯💯💯💯

Skye's avatar

We are definitely not a democracy anymore. It’s good folx are waking up to this rather than not understanding what is occurring and continues to occur

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I've been warning people for over a year this is going to happen and they were in complete denial! They just straight up ignored me! Not enough people are waking up! Still I hear the same shit from people, "I'm not political" or "I just tune out and don't follow any news." 🤷🏻‍♀️

Linda Baldassare's avatar

I know that feeling and I just don’t do ignorance anymore! Now the dumb are afraid to vote , and no matter what you say they don’t hear !! Sometimes I’m afraid of these people more than the government !

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Right?! I gave up on these people over 6 months ago! I no longer speak to them! I was so frustrated as everything I said fell on deaf ears! I'm done with the ignorant!

Deborah Newman's avatar

I’ve heard excuses too like I have my own issues, it’s too depressing, I’m busy, what can we do.

Peter Tey's avatar

We can FIGHT BACK

like the people of Minnesota

Deborah Newman's avatar

I try and recently lost a 40 year friendship over it but I’ll keep trying.

Peter Tey's avatar

YESS, KEEP TRYING, all of us together

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I have heard that crap too, Deborah! 😤

Deborah Newman's avatar

It’s so frustrating and makes me angry. I said to one friend who replied she doesn’t care and wanted me to stop talking. I said how can you not care about what’s happening to our country.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I've heard that too and "I don't want to hear it." So, I gave up. This situation is already infuriating and I can't deal with people like that anymore! I lost a 28 year friendship over his denial of the military abandoning the constitution and us americans. He swore they will save us. He is delusional and I can't be bothered anymore with him or anybody else that won't listen or could care less.

Peter Tey's avatar

Fight back like the people of Minnesota

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Right, that's right! There was another yesterday that refused. Thanks for correcting me. 😉

Robin's avatar

Please stay safe...we need you!

Danita Hamilton's avatar

Yes Ben and Everyone please stay safe and stay strong and never back down to these pieces of shits 💯💯💯💯💙💙💙💙💪💪💪💪💪

REN's avatar

This regime has lost their minds if they think we’re going to not fight for our rights to a free press and others!

Peter Tey's avatar

Excellent attitude

Bob Henry Baber's avatar

Keep telling the truth!

Danita Hamilton's avatar

They want to make everyone afraid and stop speaking the truth. I don’t know about anyone else but this has just made me even more angry and want to keep doing what I’m doing even more. So Fuck You Trump Bondi and the rest of you Assholes

Nancy McDonald's avatar

Peter Tey's avatar

Very well said

Nancy LaCaze's avatar

THEY DON'T SLOW DOWN FOR ONE MINUTE. Thank you MTN - what would we do without you?!! I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed here in NW Arkansas but I'm trying to do what I can when I can. I so hope we will overcome - hard to keep the faith but I must. You guys and everyone fighting the fight and telling the truth keep me going.

Sharon Herrick's avatar

Nancy, I am always impressed by the folks in red states who are still fighting for democracy. You can actually see and feel the steepness of the hills we have to climb and yet are still working at it. I'm in California and feel uplifted by you folks. I would say "Keep the Faith" but it is people like you that renew my faith. Stay well. Stay safe. Stay hopeful.

Dems must stand united and stand strong and demand everything right now. The cards are in our hands. I say shut the government down.  they’re burning down our country killing our people imprisoning our children, breaking laws by breaking down front  doors and pulling people out of cars for no reason, confiscating a journalist computers, and now arresting a journalist. Trump is getting more and more erratic as we stand up to him. The Democrats have got to demand more right now while they hold the cards. Can’t anyone see that Trump will take us to war with Iran. Trump is a psychopath who is not going to stop – he is just going to escalate. As much as I hate to use this as an example – look at the Reiner murders by their psychopathic son. These people do not stop because you ask them to, because you march because you call them names – they just escalate.

Sally Devoe's avatar

… and he has the nuclear codes 🤯

Mimi Iannillo's avatar

I’ve been thinking about that short saying you mentioned. ‘Then they came for you…..’ In fact I’ve been thinking about it for the longest time. The Meidas Mighty will not be silenced. We are a force of nature standing strong with Ben, Brett, and Jordy!

Maybe the next time the Evil One is walking on the edge of the WH roof he’ll fall asleep

Leslie Goodman-Malamuth's avatar

MEIDAS MIGHTY WILL NOT YIELD TO TYRANNY!!!

Scott A's avatar

Doj is working for Trump and NOT us. His enablers could stop this right now including the GOP

Beth's avatar

It would take only 20 Republican Senators to return our democracy. If 20 Republican Senators went to the White House and told him they would vote to impeach if he doesn’t stop this lawless activity we could be free again.

Skye's avatar

Well they are violating so many Constitutional amendments it’s hard to keep track. The first amendment is one of many being violated regularly. If we can’t use our phones they would feel safer to continue with their rogue law breaking/ basic rights consistent violations // extraordinary criminal behavior .

Sally Devoe's avatar

Miller publicly clearly stated they are not interested in following rules and laws.

Patricia Wendell's avatar

We are with you! We won’t bend the knee!

Dr.David's avatar

HOLY SHIT!! We were warned about PROJECT 2025.

DJT_1946-2025's avatar

Please use this as precedent for arresting everyone at Fox Propaganda, Newsmax, and OANN. At least THEIR guilt is front and center.

Renee Goodman's avatar

Now is the time for the full Epstein files to be released by anyone other than the DOJ!
