This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

CW: protester being struck in the head by a pepper ball
Footage I took earlier of the moment Reverend David Black, a regular protester outside of the Broadview Detention Center, was shot in the head with a pepper ball by ICE agents on the roof of the facility.

I hold some small quantity of Intel stock, is it possible to sue the Trump or the federal government for unlawful taking?
Intel is doing a 10% dilution to pay for this Trump 10%. If @warren.senate.gov 's wealth tax was unconstitutional, how can the admin spot 10% be legal?

“Pedocon theory does not involve secret networks of underground tunnels where adrenochrome is harvested for reptilian overlords. Pedocon theory is not hiding beneath twelve layers of misdirection. Pedocon theory is rooted in the basic politics of the reactionary right.”
