DOJ then asserted presidential privilege over any other details about the call. www.wusa9.com/article/news...

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

In under-the-radar news: a GOP-aligned former election official just bought Dominion Voting. He wants to mirror trump’s election directives. His other company, KnowInk, has been tied to multiple voting failures. Now he controls the machinery & our votes. That should scare everyone.

Former Republican election official buys Dominion Voting — a target of 2020 conspiracy theories

Voting equipment company Dominion Voting Systems, a target of false conspiracy theories since the 2020 election, has been bought by a firm run by a former Republican elections official.

the double-event is upon us already

A meme showing a man at a chalkboard from "Pacific Rim". He says "in the beginning the [new French PMs] were spaced apart 24 weeks. Then 12. Then 6. Then every 2 weeks. In four days we could be seeing a PM every 8 hours until they are coming every 4 minutes. We should witness a double event within seven days

Was just at a neighborhood school at dismissal. Hundreds of people with whistles surrounding the school and stationed down every block making sure ICE doesn’t snatch anyone. The same is happening at all the schools around here. I love my neighborhood and I love Chicago.

U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) says he has been denied 4 times to see what is going on inside the Broadview, IL ICE facility:

"Something's going on in there that they don't want us to see. I don't know what it is, but all Americans should be asking the same question."

Violence in the streets is the MAGA party's last shot at staying in power without their corruption eventually being shown and catching consequences (legally). The escalation is because the options are ticking down. Curtis Yarvin himself is fleeing cuz the plan is visibly falling apart.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.
