Breaking: Arrest Warrant Issued for Amy Goodman in North Dakota After Covering Pipeline Protest

So much for democracy and the land of the free. This just outrages me. There are those among us who are true investigative journalists and who tirelessly work to bring us the news that the corporate media drowns out or distracts from or denies or minimizes or reveals only smaller surface picture of. Amy Goodman is a profound exception. She is my hero and a source for millions in America and around the world for inspiration and truth and integrity and courage and commitment to the highest good. Please spread the word of this outrage! We can all stand in protection of Amy and that which she stands for, which is a true democracy. Thank you. - Molly
