A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Yes, the U.S. government is fascist.

Noem is the domestic terrorist, and let's not forget her "side-squeeze", Lewandowski, who is really running DHS while using her as a mere media prop. Both are dangerous for our democracy and will lie to your face at the drop of a hat.

“'The guy, I’m telling him like, "Please step off the school grounds," and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him, and he knocked me down,' an official at Roosevelt High School said. 'They don’t care. They’re just animals. I’ve never seen people behave like this.'"

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

The regime MUST release the Epstein files, all of them, not just the one's Trump approves. Trump is trying to protect himself and his wealthy pervert friends who were also involved, and apparently will do anything, including invading another country to stifle the truth. RELEASE Epstein Files now!!
I will like and repost every post asking for the release of the Epstein files. Remember trending doesn't count on words within a banner.

Despite decades of education about the dangers of Nazism and fascism, many people today either fail to recognize similar patterns when they emerge or refuse to acknowledge them.

It’s a commentary on historical amnesia and willful blindness.

This failure is collective, moral, and intellectual.👇

The day before Jan 6, the 10 living Secretaries of Defense wrote about the danger of politicizing the military. Their words are essential rereading today. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

The party of fear and hate is trying to tell us they’re not.

They incite mobs, whitewash insurrections, and look away when Democrats are targeted with violence.

Believe their actions, not their excuses.👇

NASA is more than rockets and moonwalks. NASA is behind much of our everyday technology. From space discovery, to Air Jordans, to CAT scans, NASA has played a role. We get it all on less than a penny of every federal dollar. Now their science may be gutted by 50%.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Please know that a vast MAJORITY of Americans support you and your (our) 1st Amendment Rights. Conversely, they DO NOT support ABC's decision to 'bend a knee' in suspending you for exercising your rights. SHAME on them!

Is the 13% increase in the DoD budget a sop to the military so they will back Trump? DoD budget is already over a TRILLION DOLLARS (not counting "black ops"), higher than the next 3 industrialized nation on the planet COMBINED! If the officer corp allows DJT to piss on our Constitution we'll know...

A primary goal of Mein Kampf 2025 is to completely dismantle ALL federal government infrastructure. If you dismantle the infrastructure of a democracy it’s a lot easier to dispose of said democracy and to replace it with one form of authoritarian dictatorship or another. Theirs is a theocracy.
And, WHY would they do this???????????????????????

@steeltoetruth.bsky.social Good to see you here Vince. I've had another account here for some time devoted to some other issues. That said, we've got to keep up the resistance.
