I don’t support assaulting officers—unless they’re committing crimes and you’re trying to protect a third party—but I admit this meme is funny.
It’s partly funny because it’s exactly why this man will be acquitted, and Bondi and Pirro will look like the fascist toadies they are.

You know what would actually reduce crime and homelessness?
Universal healthcare, free education, affordable housing and a basic living wage.
When people have their most basic needs met, they have happier and healthier lives.
Those hoarding the wealth don’t want to give us those things.

Basing such unprecedented action on the blatant lie that crime in D.C. is soaring underscores that our democracy is under assault.
To write this off as a “distraction” misses the danger of the moment; the potential for unbridled deployment of the military for domestic policing.

The deployment of FBI and National Guard forces to D.C., and the (temporary) takeover of police based on a non-existent dystopian crime epidemic (following the deployment of federal troops to Los Angeles, based on a related lie) signifies we are in police state era open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
