And even if you're right, the punishment for drug smuggling isn't death.
Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

Until people start shooting in self-defense, these motherfuckers will keep doing this shit.

I’ve heard the arguments against it. It'll escalate; it’s what Trump wants; he’ll call for martial law; non-violence is the only way to fight this; and so on.

Excellent arguments, all.

They’re Gestapo.

Leaders of a Catholic church in Massachusetts kept a Nativity display with an anti-ICE message in place on Monday, defying an order from the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston to remove it. The display shows Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus missing, replaced by a sign reading “ICE WAS HERE.” trib.al/adPW46y

The Trump regime is trying to normalize misogyny. Unfortunately, it’s too many people in this country that don’t have the balls to stand up against him. This pattern of abuse is only going to get worse folks! What is it going to take⁉️

And how do they prove someone’s membership in a NON-EXISTENT ORGANISATION?

Oh, that’s right - THIS regime doesn’t HAVE to prove a fucking thing.

THIS regime can execute people without evidence, charges, trial, or conviction in a court of law - with impunity.

Because MAGA.
Here it is, the justification for shooting and killing peaceful protesters in America.

Trump has already designated ANTIFA as a terrorist organization, and under this guys rules, any of us involved in a protest can be shot and killed just by saying we are members of ANTIFA.

This must be stopped.

"...reader: don’t lose faith in the movement.
I know you may not see it where you are, but the earthquake is coming. Hold tight to my words…we can take back the House and eventually the country. We can rid ourselves of the fascists in power. We can claw our way back to democracy yet."

From where I am standing, I know this is the movement I have been working toward. I feel the rafters shaking and the walls moving. I feel the aftershock of the work that went into Aftyn’s race and how it’s rippling out into red states across the country.
