This No Kings female protester was wrestled to the ground by three cops, handcuffed, and arrested for lewd conduct in Fairhope, Alabama. Evidently, pink penises and dick-taters are illegal in the Deep South.

🚨 ICE disappeared a woman on Wednesday night. She was grabbed by men in plainclothes and taken to an unidentified location.
ICE is refusing to say where she is being held. It’s 72 hours later and not even a dedicated team of lawyers can find her.
This is WRONG. We can’t let this be the new norm.
