Learned enough in school to know what fascism is and how propaganda works... That should be all you need to know to be on the right side of history in this critical time. Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution doesn't deserve to lead.

The American Gestapo ICE is fully out of control. 😵‍💫😖

Everyone who is still supporting this domestic terrorist is complicit.

Where are the police and military following their oath and protecting the people???

We really need to spread this everywhere. This story is breaking through, even to MAGA folks. ICE is out of control, waging indiscriminate violence. Even on members of the clergy.

Above all, he is an extremely dangerous, racistic, pathological liar and cheater without any idea or even a real interest to "make America great again."

Even if he would seriously try to do his best, his policies are simply overwhelming stupid and harmful for common people and the nation. 😵‍💫😢

Yeah, this is very straightforwardly the sort of stuff that loses you qualified immunity. doesn’t mean it’s worth litigating and the officers won’t personally pay a dime, but this is just ridiculous.

The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

Öffentlicher und friedlicher Protest gegen eine Politik die sich wehement weigert diese Problem anzugehen.

Und nein, es sind nicht alle Parteien "gleich schlecht" wenn es um die Besteuerung von Vermögen geht.

Verstehe die Zusammenhänge und werde aktiv.

Danke. 🙏
