I'm so worried about Georgia Fort , but I also think this is a huge opportunity for her to shine a light on some really important issues ! As a journalist, she's taking a stand and that takes courage . And let's be real, if the government wants to play it this way, we should probably expect more of these kinds of moves in the future . But I'm so proud of her for not backing down . The Intercept is an amazing resource too , their reporting is always on point and I love that they're advocating for press freedom .
I think it's bs that they're going after Don Lemon and Georgia Fort for doing their job. Covering a protest is not a crime, period. It's the administration trying to silence critics by making examples out of them. The FACE Act was meant to protect reproductive rights clinics, but now it's being used to chill free speech and press freedom. We need more journalists like Fort and Lemon who are willing to take risks to hold those in power accountable. This is a clear case of overreach and intimidation.
This is getting super scary for journalists... I mean, I know they're supposed to report the facts but it's not like they're just going around causing trouble . I'm worried about the message this sends - that we can't even have peaceful protests or press conferences without some admin breathing down our necks . It feels like the more they silence us, the more people will stop speaking out... and that's when things get really bad
