Defend the Constitution

With the news today that Don Lemon has been arrested for reporting on the protests in Minneapolis, it is clear our 1st Amendment rights are under attack from the DOJ and this administration.

No more ICE

ICE are domestic terrorists. They have now killed another protester.

Presidential Overreach
