"The administration is appealing to the MAGA racist and Christian nationalist base by demonstrating that it is willing to violate the Constitution to impose MAGA’s ideology on the nation. But it is also apparently trying to signal to white American citizens that they should think they are safe from an authoritarian administration: its top victims remain Black Americans and people of color."

"The arrests of Lemon and Fort are windows into the deep concern of administration officials about how dramatically Americans have turned against ICE and the Trump administration."

"At its most basic level, the attack on two independent journalists is undoubtedly designed to intimidate other independent news producers from covering the Trump administration, particularly the violence of ICE and Border Patrol agents."

"It is a dramatic assault on the First Amendment to the Constitution, which prohibits the government from curtailing the freedom of the press.

It is also a transparent attempt to change the popular narrative."

"Members of the media are understandably outraged, as they should be. This is a five-alarm fire. But it is one that has been burning for eight years. Trump attacked, mocked, and sued journalists in his first term. But the media continued to report on Trump as if he were a 'normal' president who deserved to be treated with a presumption of regularity and respect."

It is time for the mainstream media to join the resistance. Better late than never.
