The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

This is the latest trick to detain people: they find out folks are citizens but then claim the person is "suicidal" and put them on a psychiatric hold. They just want to fuck with people, it's pure, unadulterated evil.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

I do not believe anything ICE says. If this reporter says she didn’t obstruct, she didn’t. ICE is arresting reporters in Chicago now

This is obscene.
Their descendants couldn’t go through this much money in generations, even living as high as the TechBros do now.

This is resource hoarding. In any other animal species, a resource hoarder would be set upon by the rest of the group.

Yet we walk around deifying them.

Community pooled their money to pay for her green card—then ICE locked her up in a private prison instead.

Agents detained her when she showed up for final green card appointment—a process that lasted years & cost $16,009.

Family was waiting at her house planning to celebrate over bowls of Pozole.

Like the reported mistreatment of Thunberg, these drone attacks would also fit in perfectly with the Israeli government’s depraved and cynical decision to treat the flotilla activists as terrorists.

This is what happened to many protestors in Kyiv in 2014. Yanukovych & Putin’s secret forces eventually opened fire on the crowd, killing 100, mostly young people.

A military-style operation is taking place outside the Broadview ICE facility in Illinois, featuring snipers stationed on rooftops and armored vehicles on the streets. Protesters are reportedly being abducted and vanished, signaling authoritarian repression in this Chicago suburb.
