This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

How is Trump pardoning a republican rep's meth dealer son not a major story at every media outlet right now? Given the pearl clutching over the pardon of Hunter Biden, has the GOP and corporate media suddenly started caring about addiction? Or is there just a double standard? (Rhetorical)

If God is reading the news correctly, the US government is deploying two army battalions to Minnesota to distract from their illegal non release of the Epstein files, is that right?

Calling them “protests” is lazy, inaccurate and plays into the false narrative that’s being used to justify further escalation by the federal government. 3/3

No. We don’t need to “modify ICE training.” We need to close DHS. Dismantle it. It’s an outdated expensive bureaucracy that’s been usurped by violent white supremacists. Shut it down.

Trump has transformed the justice system into a Putin-style autocratic protection racket. The wealthy are not audited or investigated, if convicted they are pardoned. Political opponents are targeted. Unidentified masked agents grab people off the street, and protesters are shot.

This map exposes the Greenland lie.
The US used to have a massive military footprint here.
Today, they operate just ONE base.
If Trump were actually worried about Russian vessels, he would simply open more bases, which Denmark allows

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Still not convinced this isn't an SNL skit
Deputy HHS Secretary Jim O'Neill says on Fox that he personally went to Minnesota to investigate fraud but makes clear he found nothing, instead complaining that "a woman in a fancy car spotted us, gave us an unfriendly gesture and actually followed us for about 10 minutes."
