TW: video showcasing a violent display of force by federal agents
From Charlotte, NC. Seen it shared on a few NC based IG pages. Based on this video, federal agents using the same tactics we’ve seen the last few months in Chicago.

This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power.
The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.

Trump is so proud of his performance, I bet he could be goaded into taking the test on live TV. That would absolutely silence all his critics.

Just in the past 3 days, I happened to speak to an academic, a US politician and a former Biden official who had all received death threats and severe harassment from the MAGA movement. It's now a common experience. I am sorry MTG has to live through the same thing, but she can't be surprised
