Because the Trump DO(In)J is more worried about "exploding" sandwiches than out of control baby Brownshirts attacking priests, crashing cars, shooting US citizens, and kidnapping our neighbors.

The “forcibly” issue hangs on whether any action — in this case, yes, the throwing of the possibly, possibly not, exploding sandwich — must have carried a risk of inflicting bodily harm.

We've found DHS is giving local cops a new facial recognition app to find immigrants. Point camera at face, tells the cop to detain person or not. The app is available on Google's Play Store. Google took down apps that report ICE sightings but now hosts this app

Our very serious Federal Department of Justice doing the very serious work of bringing to justice those who would wreak havoc on our streets with bread, meat, and cheese (uh, plus onions and mustard). 🧵
Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."

Notably: every single rally (including in the small towns) was bigger than the surrounding police force available. That kind of image event is VERY IMPORTANT if you're, I dunno, demonstrating social coherence AGAINST a fascist government and it's makeshift gestapo.

Why No Kings 2 and similar protest events are important. 🧵
In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.
Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.
