Trump’s deployment of military troops into our cities is unlawful — and unacceptable.

This is a threat to our freedoms and our democracy.

When the orange shit-gibbon speaks about ANTIFA, he's speaking about me. I am ANTIFA. So are all of my brothers and sisters who served. More importantly, so are YOU. You are ANTIFA. Stay strong. Resist.

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

Andromeda. Saturation way turned down. Easy to see two of the satellites -- the bigger bright spots.

The universe is too fucking fabulous for capitalism, y'all!

Last night's evidence:
1. North America Nebula (1 hour)
2. Andromeda (20 min)
3. Pac-Man Nebula (15 min)

The universe is basically just hydrogen, dark matter, and dark energy. Plus trillions upon trillions of perturbations lol

North America Nebula. Lots of red because of all of the hydrogen gas.

2. Trump announced that he was approving a 211-mile road through the Alaskan wilderness that will allow for the mining of copper and other minerals.

The project was rejected under Biden due to its impact on wildlife and Alaska Natives.

This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

The audacious thing is DHS just expects them to fall in line. Cops are also having their communities invaded and terrorized. They're in a unique position to do something about it.

DEVELOPING: ICE agents in Alamosa, Colorado ran up to a vehicle with guns drawn and shattered the window while a one-month-old baby sat inside.

This is the image of state power in America.

PAY ATTENTION: ICE is filing fake 911 calls in Chicago, weaponizing emergency services to provoke local police.

Ordinary citizens would be charged with a felony. ICE calls it strategy.

The US is a semi-authoritarian state. Folks need to grasp that it's not all or nothing -- authoritarianism has a sliding scale. Different states repress in different ways; some are harder on commerce than on speech or vice versa. Pundits deny the complexity in order to dismiss real, growing threats.

1) he was hit on the back of the head, and had multiple contusions.

2) he was strangled manually and then hung from the tree

3) he had an altercation with 4 white students in defense of his sister, who had posted something about Charlie Kirk

This is false. Democrats say they are pushing for the inclusion of key health care provisions in the next congressional spending package.

He desperately wants to officially label half the country as terrorists while sending his thugs to terrorize people. He wants civil war. Then he'll claim we can't have elections anymore. That's his goal.
