May the Fourth be with you, and also with your constitutional rights, because somebody tried to take mine last night.I was filming Las Vegas Metro Police at a large scene on Cheyenne and Durango, completely within my legal rights, when a detective threatened me with arrest for obstruction. Twice. I have the whole thing on video, and I want to walk you through exactly what happened, why it was a textbook First Amendment violation, and why I made the strategic decision to leave rather than let them put me in handcuffs.Then we get into the news: Pete Hegseth's third wife has been sitting in top secret Pentagon briefings with no government title, no verified security clearance, and zero accountability to Congress. The Pentagon press secretary says she was never in a meeting where sensitive information was discussed. She was also in the Yemen airstrike Signal chat. Draw your own conclusions.Then Trump went on social media and openly declared that states must redraw their congressional maps before the midterms, following the Supreme Court's catastrophic gutting of the Voting Rights Act in Louisiana v. Calais. He said, and I quote, if voters have to vote twice, so be it. I want you to sit with that.And finally, where did the campus protesters go? They did not go home. Mother Jones is reporting a 64% drop in campus protests, but Occidental students just staged an encampment that lasted three days before it was violently dismantled. Harvard grad students are on strike. The question is not why students stopped showing up. The question is what the rest of us are doing to make sure they are not the only ones taking all the risk.The whole show opens and closes with the First Amendment. There is a reason it is the First Amendment.
