As I write this, Ken Harbaugh is on the ground in Minneapolis finalizing a plan to embed with the demonstrators tomorrow morning. They are preparing to shine a light on a government that has shown it is willing to lie about anything. But I cannot in good conscience send this team into the line of fire without protection. We are watching a federal police force that acts with impunity. We have seen the tear gas. We have seen the rubber bullets. And now, we have seen them take a life. We need to secure bulletproof vests and gas masks for Ken and the crew before they start broadcasting tomorrow. Can I count on you to help us afford them by pitching in tonight? This is the reality of reporting on the Trump administration in 2026. We aren’t just booking hotel rooms; we are equipping a team for a conflict zone in an American city. We are scrambling to pull together the emergency funds tonight to cover: - Protective Gear: Vests and masks to ensure they can stay on the street when the crackdowns start.
- Legal Retainers: Immediate access to counsel, because we know this administration targets those who tell the truth.
- Sustainment: Keeping this team in the field for as long as it takes.
Tomorrow, the cameras roll. Tomorrow, we show the world what is happening in Minneapolis. But tonight, I need your help to make sure our people are safe. Please, help us get them the gear they need.
