If ICE agents are willing to shoot a US citizen in broad daylight, as they did with Marimar Martinez in Chicago, imagine what they’re doing to undocumented immigrants.

They shot her in front of witnesses & with body cams turned on

The horrors facing those disappeared to camps are sure to be worse

I’ve gotta say the speed with which many people bent a knee to fascism was not something I was prepared for.

That’s why the footage from Portland sparks so much hope.

People are fighting back in unique ways.

They’re making us smile. They’re fighting for freedom AND for joy.

Struck me that it is 6 months from his last 'yearly' checkup. That's either a follow up to something not necessarily serious but needing to keep an eye on or he needs some kind of treatment or scan that he cannot access in the WH. Either way, we won't hear the truth.

No but clowns like Tapper and Smerconish on CNN will say we should talk about Joe Bidens health. Our media is asleep at the wheel, totally failing us.

Why? If they plan to refuse illegal orders, of what benefit is it to us or them that they telegraph that intent to the person who will use that revelation to fire and replace them with ideologues?

It is tactically advantageous to stay quiet; they'll still be in a position to actually do something.
