This is Wendy, a regular protester at #MontclairSundays from the beginning (49 weeks ago!). She created the "Fascism" sign with faceless troops this summer. It feels even truer, scarier now. We couldn't meet at our usual corner today due to the storm. So we protested in place.
Thank you Wendy.

Secretary Noem has forfeited her right to lead. I’m calling on her to resign.
Gregory Bovino must also be fired.
No one, not an ICE agent, not a federal officer, not a president, is above the law.

This is the "gun" that Trump, Noem, Bovino, and every other administration official claims the victim was brandishing that justified him being pushed, tackled, shot, and killed.

Now, where are the statements from Republican leaders? Where are the statements from the Bushes, for example? Every decent (if any exist) Republican should be loudly speaking up about this lawlessness.
