This man is extremely unwell. He is a delusional maniac who lives in a complete fantasy world, constantly posting fantastically insane nonsense like this he sees online from imbeciles who are even more deranged than he is. How the country and our leaders are numb to this is terrifying, seriously.

I think Facebook just disabled my account for regularly posting anti-Trump material (mostly fairly academic). I can see no other possible explanation. The image collects my thread at the time, as it happened.
They now have excellent facial-recognition data to identify me.
Please repost widely.

Mid-post 5 minutes ago, FB demanded I prove I'm human. Pass through a 'type the numbers in the pic' process, then was required to do a head-turn video. Once that was uploaded, I was presented with this.
Are they having a bot-clearout? Or has Zuck decided he doesn't like my Trump-critical posts?

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.
"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."
"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

Too funny, how little it takes to expose these squalid little goons.
I'd love to know what Matt's Mum and Dad make of his wretched failure, academically, morally, in life.

Matt Goodwin makes a living out of railing against university educated elites & his whole schtick is "he was the first person in his family to go to university", which is a bit weird given that his Dad, now being heavily invoked for his Manchester connection, appears to have a string of degrees.

This is a bigger story than anything that happens in Minnesota. The most popular social media news source in the US is now censoring anti-Trump content and sanctioning users who create it. Total state control of the media.

In the early 1930s the SA was roughing people up, creating chaos in neighborhoods, seeking to terrorize with the occasional killing. By the late 1930s it had been supplanted by the SS, which was much better trained.
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Is the US paying for 99% of Nato's defence?
Has the US got nothing from Nato?
Does China have no windfarms?
Does the UK take 92% of North Sea oil revenue?
