Trump regime ICE thugs in North Carolina attacked two US citizens for recording them, they were illegally stopped based on the colour of their skin. The regime thugs assaulted them and attempted to steal their phones to erase the evidence.

They are passionate, but disciplined. They back up when they need to. But they surround them--and the cowards retreat. So moving.
We’ve seen this work in St. Cloud, in Minneapolis, and in cities across the United States.
This is not spontaneous. It is collective defense. It is disciplined, nonviolent resistance.
One person standing alone doesn’t stand a chance.
But together, we are POWERFUL.

Since some out there felt the photos going around of puppy-killer Kristi Noem at a podium bearing the Fascist slogan (later put into practice by the Nazis) ONE OF OURS ALL OF YOURS had to have been an AI manipulation, here's an AP photograph of that loathsome person promoting those loathsome words.

One basic pattern here is that DHS officials are engaging in violence simply because they are irritated at citizens protesting them. There is no plausible threat of violence here. He just wants to inflict pain, and believes there will be no penalty for doing so.
Big clash this afternoon between DHS agents and protesters in a residential street in Minneapolis, following a DHS agent hitting another vehicle. Tear gas was deployed in people’s yards and agents pepper prayed people.

I assume "public assistance" includes anyone who's gotten a tax break or been able to file bankruptcy six times.
Bessent: "For individuals who want to wire money out of the country, they're gonna have to tick a box whether they are or are not on public assistance. Then we're going to start pushing over the coming days and weeks that if you're on public assistance, you cannot wire money out of the country."

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this:
America's problems are solved problems. Just not here.
What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

In Kristi's defense, she looks really dumb and dishonest every time she has to face hard questions, so it's understandable why she doesn't want to.
That doesn't stop her from going on TV, but the media is mostly all Trump fluffers now anyway, so they make it easy on her.
