So that’s why I was told by Australian girls in Australia that I didn’t “act American” as a compliment.

Yikes.

I wrote a little bit about the abuse DHS has inflicted on peaceful protesters and media, and the content creation the department is getting out of it.

I hope to return to Broadview asap. Unfortunately, I do not have an outlet to send me, and I doubt I can travel with Kristi Noem and Benny Johnson.

“She, like [Rev. David] Black, said she has been shot multiple times with pepper bullets, including while she was praying with her eyes closed and hands lifted, wearing a clerical collar and stole.”

"Every time we have been attacked w/pepper bullets or tear gas or pepper spray … it has felt like it came from anger that we were there, and not from any determined safety need or protocol," said Rev. Hannah Kardon, who has been shot w/pepper bullets _multiple times_. "They are unhinged."

I’m on a mission to answer every time I see somebody reply “who cares” to a post.

I’ll make a whole list of people. Then maybe they won’t ask that anymore.
