We all need to record any unprovoked violence as well as getting as many pics as possible of everyone doing anything. Maybe they can get identified and outed as Maga plants. Plus, Please Don’t Engage, they don’t need to excuse justify their actions.

With GOP leaders branding the upcoming No Kings rally on October 18 a “hate America rally,” it’s worth revisiting General Mark Milley’s warning: “We don’t take an oath to a king, or a queen, or a tyrant, or a dictator. We take an oath to the Constitution.”

According to the victim's attorney, the body camera captured the officer saying, “Do something, bitch,” before leaping out of the car and shooting her multiple times. Another officer asked, “Hey, what happened?” The first pointed to his camera, “Hey, don’t speak. You’re good”

When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014 and approached Crimea's parliament, the soldiers disguised themselves as dissident Ukrainian "demonstrators"; however, they seized the building, rounded up the parliamentarians, and forced them to vote to join Russia. Sound familiar?

The quisling sending ICE and the National Guard to invade our peaceful cities is Putin's Man Terrorist Trump. He is turning America into an outpost of the Kremlin. In 2014, when Ukraine's president Yanukovich turned out to be Putin's stooge, Ukrainians sent him packing in the Revolution of Dignity.

The American campaign expert Paul Manafort and the Russian agent Konstantin Kilimnik helped Ukraine's pro-Putin President Yanukovich get elected, but Ukrainians realized he was a traitor and drove him out. Manafort and Kilimnik also helped Putin's man Terrorist Trump get elected in 2016. BIG FACT!
