When I was a student nurse at the VA, I had to take an oath, like all civilian employees of the VA. I don't know how to explain how angry and heartbroken I am. I have watched two murders in the last 17 days.

This is courage. Looking a masked, government fascist dead in the eye, face to face, knowing full well that your life is on the line.

Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice."
Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.

I’m so very proud of each and every one of these citizens

I'm on site where a federal agent shot a Minneapolis man this morning. It's bad.
Dozens of federal agents are facing off with hundreds of outraged residents. People being tear gassed, helicopters above, I keep hearing pops, and lots of loud BANGS.
This smoke is from tear gas:

This is how you resist.
This is how you stand up for what’s right.
This is journalism refusing to bend a knee.
Show the 5 year old child who was kidnapped.
Show the immigrant who was violently pepper sprayed despite being fully restrained.
Show it all.
