Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now.

Blurred lines between them, but Gladio was more invested in manipulating public opinion through sabotage, psyops, false flags, etc. compared to Condor's all-out dirty war (mass kidnappings and transnational rendition, roving death squads, that kind of thing)

This is a fascinating idea, Rep. Torres, but I'm afraid people may have some knee-jerk objections. I recommend explaining your thought process on a public platform, e.g. a talk show modeled on Dick Cavett
I am introducing the Quick Recognition (QR) Act, which requires ICE and CBP officers to wear uniforms featuring QR codes. When scanned, the code would generate a digital ID displaying the officer’s name, badge number, and law enforcement agency.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.
You could be next.
