They don’t care about anything beyond the meme-generating shot. They’re so effing twisted.

It’s so evil and wrong.

The Lemon Law

Arrested for breaking the Lemon Law—

Reporting inside a church—

Where a member of ICE is the local pastor

Pam and her squad got irked

After a federal magistrate judge

Refused to sign a warrant

And a Court of Appeals concurred with him

Throwing Justice into a torrent

Unimpressed, they would not rest

Until they at last found a judge

Who was willing to sign off on charges allowing

Their Don to pursue a grudge

Meanwhile no charges are being pursued

In the Good and Pretti killings

I guess the Department has made it clear

Exactly for whom it is shilling

Well then, by their logic then Fox./OAN and newsnation would also be elegible for arrest. We must fight this to end. Arresting journalists for reporting something the government doesn’t like should be a 3rd that cannot be touched !

FIREWALL DISPATCH: DEFEND THE VOTE, DEFEND THE VOICE

Date: January 30, 2026

Target: The Department of Justice & Congressional Judiciary Committees Mission: Stop the Seizure of the Electorate & The Criminalization of Dissent

The Syndicate is trying to do two things: Steal your data so they can pick their voters, and silence your voice so you cannot complain about it. We are jamming the lines to stop them. While supporting the 1/30 General Strike, pick up the phone.

Tools:

Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

DOJ Comment Line: (202) 353-1555

(Search "Voting Rights")

ACTION 1: STOP THE VOTER ROLL SEIZURE (The "Vetting" System)

The Context: The DOJ is suing 24 states for unredacted voter rolls (including Social Security Numbers), and the FBI has just raided the Fulton County election warehouse to seize 2020 records. They are building a federal database to "curate" who gets to vote in 2028.

Script for Senators & Representatives (Judiciary Committee Focus):

"My name is [Name] and I am calling from [Zip Code].

I am calling to demand an immediate Congressional inquiry into the DOJ’s aggressive attempts to seize unredacted state voter rolls.

The FBI raid in Georgia and the lawsuits against 24 states are not 'election security'—they are a federal takeover of state election data. The Executive Branch has no constitutional right to possess the Social Security numbers and voting histories of private citizens.

I demand that [Senator/Rep Name] co-sponsor legislation to block the use of federal funds for this 'Voter Vetting' database. Do not let the Administration build a target list of voters before 2028."

ACTION 2: Protect the First Amendment, The Fourth Estate & Eyes of the Republic

"My name is [Name] from [Zip Code].

I am calling to demand an emergency hearing regarding the DOJ’s escalating purge of the press.

This is not just about Don Lemon or Georgia Fort. From gassing local anchors like Jana Shortal to tackling photojournalists like Mark Vancleave, the Attorney General is systematically blinding the Eyes of the Republic.

Charging these Truth-Tellers with 'conspiracy' for documenting the Cities Church protests is a weaponization of the FACE Act. These are not criminals; they are Witnesses.

I demand that [Senator/Rep Name] co-sponsor the PRESS Act immediately to grant federal shield protections to all reporters—local and national. If you stand by while the Fourth Estate is put in handcuffs, you are complicit in the cover-up."

Everyone in the World should stand behind Don Lemon, what Trump is doing is definitely disgraceful and must be stopped. Trump wants to be just like N. Korea’s dictator Kim, whose people “bow before him” which is what Trump wants for himself. His insane ego is beyond belief but we all are living through it or trying to.

Has anyone started a GoFundMe for Don Lemon?

Trump knows he can’t win, but he is trying to break him.

When reporting becomes a reason for handcuffs, the First Amendment isn’t just under attack

Why was he arrested?

Aaron Reifler's avatar

DOJ requested a warrant to arrest 5 church protesters (including Lemon) from Schiltz in Minnesota, who said it was “frivolous” in this letter: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.ca8.113669/gov.uscourts.ca8.113669.00805439054.0.pdf

Is this the straw that breaks the camel’s back? Not the thousand other illegal, unconstitutional acts by Trump’s regime?

Does he or the other journalist need financial help with lawyers. Get a go fund me going.

Screw Don Lemon,

If he thinks that he can lead a group of morons into a organized legal group of people conducting a fellowship of their religious beliefs and disrupt and antagonize these people with threats and thinks that he ca get away with this needs to be arrested and needs to be stopped. Now if it was a group of Muslims gathering out in the streets and chanting and disturbing others would Don Lemon be there antagonizing that group, I don’t think so. Don Lemon you are also a paid agitator in our society and need to be put in jail.

And how much were you paid to write that comment?

They’re pissed at Don Lemon because he’s out there getting the information out to the public. Also, the pastor of that church is an ICE AGENT , which makes him, disingenuous, at the very least. I was watching Don Lemon’s live when the incident occurred. I never saw Don inciting any violent activities. As a journalist and as a person, under his first amendment protection, he has the right to speak on whatever issue he chooses. This fake indictment will not stop Don Lemon from reporting on issues that affect us all as a society!

Hey Randy, apparently the 4th Amendment means nothing to you. Maybe you'd be better off in Russia.
