PSA - (This is from BLM protests but may feature duing the upcoming No Kings protest)

Well howdy! I'm just a mysterious pile o'bricks. I have been seen at many of the recent BLM protests sitting around areas of no construction or carefully removed from things like streets or sidewalks and placed in neat, easy-to-grab piles! Do not reach for me! I am intentionally placed here to create violence! This is used to delegitimize the movement and allows for more force to be used. Instead, alert those around me that I am a trap, and document me with photo and video evidence using #BAITBRICKS
Do not share this post directly! Copy and paste the photo to your own page so no one is targeted!

So if you mix the snake oil with the woodchuck oil you are going to get a whole new type of oil that cures all manner of things.

Pretending every huge peaceful protest is worse than January 6th while also pretending January 6th never happened.

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

Legolas: What about someone who breaks with colleagues and correctly blames the shutdown on the leadership of my fascist political party?

Gimli: Aye, I could do that

that donald trump was allowed to become president again after J6 is something we may never recover from as a nation

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 4d

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

Pritzker: "This guy is unhinged. He's insecure. He's a wannabe dictator. And there's one thing I really want to say to Donald Trump. If you come for my people, you come through me. So come and get me."

You have to understand that for conservatives, Bad Bunny performing at the Super Bowl is a grave insult, like when they go to the ATM and they have to push a button to pick either English or Spanish
