it really is 2020 again, when well-meaning people without training are tinged with understandable panic affecting their reporting, bad faith actors sowing misinformation, and resistance libs trying to be heroes but like in a bad way

is that describing a checkpoint though with ALL cars pulled over, or just multiple cars that happened to be pulled over who very well all could be pulled over for following feds? it's not clear, and i am disinclined to believe it just for the "evacuated" line on top of it. that's dramatic

Honestly, same with rupar saying freeway exit ramps were blocked. Freeways would have been at a standstill and they just weren't.

all day, these rumors have spread around the metro, and once a report would come in, people would go look up the highway camera and there were no checkpoints
