Constitutionally protected militias are free and independent of the state. Our Rights & Liberty weren't pulled out of the sky or drawn from a hat. They were written in blood & they must be defended & strengthened with blood. Rights & Liberty are only as strong as the People willing to exercise them.

your tactic of protesting in an inflatable frog suit which gets normal people on your side is far inferior to my tactic of posting about laser blinding helicopter pilots which is both wildly illegal and, were it to succeed, would put basically *everyone* against me

Very jarring how the media treats some lives as inherently and others not.

I am happy for hostages and their families to be reunited, but it’s shocking how little media attention is given to “how do Gazans grapple with the utter destruction of their homes, vast loss of lives, and ongoing famine.”

One of the major reasons ICE goons don't show their faces is they don't want their wives and kids to see what they're doing. Instead of cheating on their spouses, they're cheating on the US Constitution.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

Reminder that this ceasefire and hostage exchange offer was on the table from the very beginning, so what excuse could possibly be given for the two years of horrors before it was accepted?

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

Documents Allege a Federal Agent at Portland ICE Threatened to Shoot an Ambulance Driver

Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

China is doing an absolutely FANTASTIC job of baiting that asshole into economic Hari-Kari.

Every time they do something that hurts our economy, TACO reacts by doing something that actually hurts us TEN TIMES more.

It’s crazy!

Soon it will be show us your papers. This must stop.

A tweet by James Surowiecki replying to David J. Bier. Surowiecki asks, “Where in the Immigration and Nationality Act does it say that US citizens have to prove that they're citizens or else be arrested?” The quoted tweet by Bier reads, “ICE agents to US citizen: Turn around or you're getting the dog,” accompanied by a photo of a man wearing a face mask and standing near vehicles at night.

Legal AF Meidastouch: The Convicted FElon's regime has given the green light for ICE to violently attack Veterans who are protesting against the regime. Sorry, these are war crimes. The courts are trying to stop this, but in a previous post Project 2025, they don't care about courts.

“No Kings means no paychecks?” Scott, that’s not how government works; that’s how feudalism works. You’re literally arguing for the system we escaped in 1776.
No kings means exactly what America stands for— we don’t serve monarchs or dictators. The people are the power, not one man or family.
