Don Lemon and Georgia Fort vow to continue reporting following arrests tied to anti-ICE protest The two independent journalists face federal charges related to the interruption of a church service in Minnesota earlier this month. Lemon and Fort say they were there to cover a protest.

The arrests of journalists #DonLemon and #GeorgiaFort are examples of violations of #FirstAmendment guarantee of #pressfreedom.

New ranking on 2026 #WorldPressFreedomIndex should be embarassment for U.S.

In 2025 we were ranked 57th but US media will not report that.

BBC says it will defend Trump defamation lawsuit over Panorama speech edit The US president is requesting $5bn (£3.7bn) in damages, according to court documents filed in Florida.

#Trump's authoritarian regime continues to harrass legitimate #media with expensive legal challenges.

He still believes that the #press is "enemy of the people."

Trump's USA is in no place to lecture the UK or anyone on freedom or free speech. It is ranked 57th in the world in media freedom having fallen from 45th two years ago. Maybe instead of listening to Trumpian blowhards we should all listen to Norway: no. 1 for media freedom. #WorldPressFreedomIndex
