Mainstream US history taught us that a "specialized priesthood" of liberal elites blessed us with progress as early as they possibly could, while Native Americans, enslaved people, suffragists, unions, immigrants, socialists, communists, anarchists, protesters, and strikers played a negligible role.

GOP Senator: So we've been, blowing up these people in boats, off the coast of Venezuela. They're accused of running drugs, but nobody knows their names and nobody's put up any evidence. And we just blow them up and against all laws of war. It's against the military code of justice to do that.

They’ll put their hands on anyone they want to. Not another penny for this government until they shut this down.
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

A few months ago, ICE hired me
I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable
And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

Oh my God! This is amazing!
This is truly remarkable. Citizens literally running to the sound of whistles and confronting ICE/CBP with apparently no prior coordination
Do you know how fucking angry you have to make people to get them to take any action for any reason at all, let alone put themselves in real physical danger
