As a American English speaker, and "native" (born and raised) I too am confused. Two of my favorite analogies are 1.) "English is not a language, it's three languages wearing a trench coat pretending to be one." - Gugulethu Mhlungu 2.) "English beats up other languages in dark alleys, then rifles through their pockets for loose grammar and spare vocabulary." - pilgrimkitty (I think).

Cops incarcerate demonstrators and threaten illegal incarceration.

A large swath of the activists know that Trump is attempting to manufacture a conflict that allows invoking the Insurrection Act.

Getting Democratic Party elected officials and media people to explicitly state this helps courts to deal with this reality.

People should create devices that allow recording messages for cops, "Bad cop, no donut!"

The device would be activated when the cops do a search.

I don't want to diminish the people who made the effort to protest, but the number of cops and state police was... beyond what was necessary.

Folks playing some thematic standoff music now.

Really just cannot express how non-threatening this small group of neighbors appears at the moment, and how absurd this massive police presence appears in comparison.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Racists got their big slug of 💰 for ICE.

And they still want to cut as much of government as possible.

It's been 200 days since masked government goons abducted Rümeysa Öztürk for writing an op-ed they didn't like.

She's no longer behind bars, but they're still trying to deport her, and they still don't want the public to know why.

The U.S. government is hiding Öztürk records. Its rationale is insulting

If the government was really concerned about protecting privacy, it wouldn’t have abducted and detained Öztürk for writing an op-ed

If she wins, she'll be 79 when assuming office. Meanwhile Graham Platner, the progressive challenger is 41. Schumer has been pushing Mills to enter the race despite the popularity of Platner. The Democratic establishment will go to great lengths in order to keep the Left out of government.

Maine Gov. Janet Mills to run for Senate, seeking to dislodge Susan Collins

Mills, a two-term governor, will join an already crowded field of Democratic candidates hoping to challenge the Republican who has held the seat for nearly three decades.

Anyone who voted to pass the NDAA today devoid of the amendments proposed to reign in the deployment of troops to US cities but somehow still full of anti-LGBTQ riders— thus supplying nearly a trillion dollars to an occupying army, will be remembered in history books as having helped end democracy.
