Truth Wins Out sharply condemns the Trump Administration’s decision to pursue the arrest of veteran journalist Don Lemon. The targeting of Lemon — who lawfully engaged in journalistic coverage of a protest in a Minneapolis-area church — represents a brazen escalation in the Trump Administration’s ongoing campaign to weaponize the Justice Department and intimidate journalists who dare to hold power to account.

We recognized our spiritual and human calling in a world that too often confuses difference with danger and identity with threat.

When former CNN news anchor Don Lemon filmed a marathon seven-hour protest at a Minneapolis church last week, Harmeet Dhillon, Trump’s assistant AG, publicly threatened him: “You [Lemon] are on notice! A house of worship is not a public forum for your protest! It is a space protected from exactly such acts by federal criminal and civil laws! Nor does the First Amendment protect your pseudo journalism of disrupting a prayer service.”

Once an overlooked pocket of downtown Fort Lauderdale, Flagler Village has quietly — and now confidently — emerged as one of South Florida’s most exciting and inclusive urban destinations. What was once industrial has transformed into a vibrant, walkable neighborhood that blends modern living, culture, and community, while standing out as one of the most LGBTQ-friendly areas in the region. 

For the past three years or so, I’ve been living out a surgical saga. Several procedures, two different states, and many changes: Some subtle and unnoticeable, others, hard to miss (a nod to my treasured D cups, and the brilliant surgeon who placed them).

The Trump administration is trying to take the world back, not just to the Dark Ages when people were tortured to death for their beliefs, but to the Stone Age when Neanderthals with the heaviest clubs held the most power. Neanderthals commandeered fecund hunting grounds from weaker neighbors because they could. But when they came up against more organized, ordered, and civilized Homo Sapiens, they became extinct.
