Lemon and another independent journalist, George Fort, have been taken into federal custody in connection to a protest at a church earlier this month in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Attorney General Pam Bondi denounced the protest […] saying […] that the scene was “horrific.”
Horrific? A protest? People shouting to get attention and be heard is horrific?
Tell me you’ve led the most privileged of lives without telling me. What a completely unrelatable train wreck. You’ve got conservatives who’ve seen combine accidents and IEDs and child soldiers — the true horrors of the world. Let’s see what their response is.

And somehow, I get the feeling this DOiJ would defend the first amendment rights of the God Gats F*gs church the next time they decide to protest the funeral service of a gay victim of hate crime. Not only that, but I get the feeling this DOiJ would make it a crime to drown them out or block the view of their spectacle from the funeral.

Fascists shouldn’t get to hide behind a pulpit.
