"Quit demonstrating" is not something that a pro-democracy politician says. It's something that an authoritarian tool says.
Rep. Roger Williams: "People need to quit demonstrating, quit yelling at law enforcement, challenging law enforcement, and begin to get civil."

We are in the worst flu season in over a decade. Children have died. Hospitals are filled with people sick from flu.
13 million fewer Americans have taken the flu shot this season compared to last year.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claimed there is "no scientific evidence" the flu vaccine prevents hospitalizations or death in children, despite previous CDC guidance.

It sounds like these goondas are being told that 18 U.S.C. 111 means they can arrest anyone who protests or “opposes” them. They seem to have missed the “forcibly” part. Also, not for nothing, but this crime is a misdemeanor www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/...

I am begging Democratic leadership to recognize that funding and legitimizing your authoritarian opponent’s secret police is a bad idea.

The investigation appears to be the first since Oregon officials warned the federal government in November that they would investigate and prosecute any federal agents who use force “beyond the reasonable scope of their duties.”

JD Vance & Trump lying about Good, defaming and smearing her and declaring her murder justified, while vowing immunity and their full support for her killer and other ICE agents that also commit murder, that was their stochastic order to kill civilians on behalf of the regime. #3E #EndImpunity

Not unreasonable for every Mayor to call on ICE and CBP to leave their cities immediately, to protect the citizens of their cities.

This is out of control.

Menendez: There should be no more money for ICE. There needs to be accountability for ICE. We need to do that before another fucking dollar is spent on them.

I’ve heard from multiple friends today about daycares being raided and parents being ripped out of cars (in one case with a child left behind in the backseat). Grim times here.
The situation in Minneapolis is insane: seemingly many large convoys of heavily armed masked men, blocking off streets at random, grabbing people nearly at random, racing around the city with no discernible plan or aim. Under attack by our own government the day after it killed someone

BREAKING: Once again ICE agents have shot at a moving vehicle contrary to their SOPs.

At this point one feels like any person on American soil could be forgiven for being terrified of ICE agents and wanting to get away from them as quickly as possible.

For decades, cops have been trained not to shoot at moving vehicles.

But the federal agents enforcing Trump’s mass deportation campaign seem not to be following this rule, and are taking a far more dangerous path.
Cops are taught not to shoot into cars. ICE keeps doing it anyway.
Immigration agents have shot at least nine people since September. All of them have been in cars.
