The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution.

This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American.

They must be released immediately.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

The Noem statement playing up the forged threats is still up on the DHS website, along with additional false claims about the victim.

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Ms. Omar, visibly shaken after the assault, insisted to her staff and security that she would continue. She asked for a napkin and told them: "Just give me 10 minutes. I beg you. Please don't let them have the show." Ms. Omar then turned the crowd. "Here's the reality that people like this ugly man don't understand," she said. "We are Minnesota strong, and we will stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us." Someone in the crowd later thanked Ms. Omar for staying and continuing after the assault, which had shaken not only her but the entire room. "I learned at a young age you don't give in to threats," Ms. Omar said.

Trump’s Ukraine Peace Plan Gives Russia Nearly Everything It Wants Donald Trump's administration is trying to force Ukraine to accept a peace plan that would give Vladimir Putin and Russia nearly everything they want.

This is a shameful betrayal. Trump's so-called peace plan is a blatant surrender document that forces Ukraine to disarm and cede territory to Putin. It's an utter abdication of American leadership that rewards Russian aggression.

An image of two activists wearing long trains reading "end the fossil fuel era" and "phase out fossil fuels" with banners above them reading "stop Amazon oil" and "1.5oC under threat: time to act."

Nearly 30 countries refuse to sign a final #COP30 agreement that doesn't include "fossil fuel phase-out," as negotiations head into overtime.

A looming 'insect apocalypse' could endanger global food supplies. Can we stop it before it's too late? Insect populations are in steep decline, which could endanger the food supply. But there are things we can do to reverse the trend.

Really interesting thread here 🧪

James Watson, dead at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers James Watson, the co-discoverer of the structure of DNA who died Thursday at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers.

I've been avoiding reading articles on the death of James Watson, co-discoverer of #DNA's structure.

That is, until I saw that @statnews.com published one by Sharon Begley, a renowned science writer who passed in 2021.

Yes, you read that right.

For those who don't know, the Nobel laureate had a long history of truly vile remarks. In fact, he seemed to revel in his status as an unapologetic bigot.

Rather than glaze him for his extensive contributions to science, Begley presents a complete picture of a controversial figure.

How to fight climate change without the US: a guide to global action With the US government absent from the COP30 global climate summit, it will be up to others to avert catastrophe.

With the US government absent from the COP30 global climate summit, it will be up to others to take action on climate change. Nature reports what can be done. 🧪

This is figure 1 from “Human biomass movement exceeds the biomass movement of all land animals combined.” It shows total biomass movement of land animals and birds.

Human biomass movement may be up to 40 times greater than that of all land animals combined, according to research in Nature Ecology & Evolution. A second Nature Communications paper finds that wild mammal biomass has more than halved since 1850. go.nature.com/4oID33i go.nature.com/3LhSD7n 🧪
