BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”

They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Y'all notice this hypocrisy?
•Musk gets $20B+ in federal subsidies—is celebrated!
•NPR gets ~$3M in federal grants—Trump wants to shut it down as "wasteful."

This isn't democracy—it's autocracy & an all out war on free press. Here are two ways we can fight back:

If you take down a Confederate memorial that was literally dedicated to promote white supremacy, that’s “erasing history.”

But if you hide pictures of accomplished women, that’s just fighting wokeness.
Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

As an attorney, I submitted a FOIA to the DOJ for the names, charges, convictions, & sentences of each of the 1500 insurrectionists Trump pardoned.

Trump wiped clean the DOJ website of their names—which is unacceptable Govt censorship.
