The more I read this quote, the more questions I have. Did the cocaine give him the brain worm? Why toilet seats? Is he not afraid of germs because he doesn’t believe germs exist? Does he think other people just let germs take their wallets? What percentage of his body is germ?
RFK Jr: I'm not scared of a germ. I used to snort cocaine off of toilet seats.

This is NOT AI, oddly enough! This is a real kitty at a local rescue (already adopted) who has swollen eyes and glaucoma. Article attached.

Two months of horrors to achieve almost nothing regarding their supposed goal.
Twin Cities population: 3 Million
ICE agents sent: 3,000
Months spent: 2+ Mo
Immigrants they kidnapped: 4,000
Homan claims this a success rate. I think this shows Minnesota KICKED THEIR ASS ✊🏼
4,000 people kidnapped by 3,000 agents over 2 months is like if each agent they sent kidnapped 1.3 people.

According to multiple NYT sources, it wasn’t even military personnel at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon on loan from DoD against a child’s party balloon they mistook for a drone. The Pentagon gave CBP an anti-aircraft weapon.

This is an incredibly important thread. Other lawyerly folks I know have been saying similar (and sometimes even more horrifying) things. This is straight-up war crime territory, and it’s happening all around the USA. It will come for you if you allow it to continue.

Even when ICE/BCP isn’t shooting Minnesotans live on camera, they are a danger to all of us.
The victim in the below thread is seriously injured but still alive, in federal custody. Will they even receive proper treatment?

Today, ICE engaged in a dangerous, high-speed chase in Saint Paul. Their recklessness and disdain for the safety of our residents led directly to a multi-car collision, even if ICE vehicles weren't the ones to hit other cars.
