The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world

"Mark Kelly’s legal counsel has called it an unprecedented and dangerous overreach. From my professional military perspective, based on four decades of experience, I agree." ICYMI @markhertling.bsky.social: lnk.thebulwark.com/3LzZI3H

Before Trump, law enforcement were trained to behave professionally. At a traffic stop they would start with words such as "Mam, may I see your drivers license and registration."
ICE evidently trains their goons to start a stop with screamed profanity, quickly followed by violence.

Americans, be vigilant for, and resist how, the regime distorts language and thus tries to distort actual events, turning legal conduct into crimes.
Watch for how "domestic terrorism" is being used to describe what is in fact "civil disobedience."
