I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

Nine people were killed by #ice this year. Two of the victims of these slave patrols, Renee Good, and Alex Pretti, may they RIP, are widely known.
Why is that? Because the murders being captured on camera?

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

VP Vance’s use of "far left agitators" is a precision-engineered echo of the 1919 Palmer Raids and the 1950s McCarthy era. It serves to strip local dissent of its domestic legitimacy, framing it as a "foreign" or "engineered" infection.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.
