We just saw this, and it’s a good idea for businesses to post. Private businesses are allowed to set dress and conduct rules. Requiring no full face coverings has long been standard for safety and loss prevention reasons, and it is within a business’s rights to refuse entry or service.

i was talking with someone in the twin cities about how it’s not even accurate to call them protesters. they’re literally just people protecting their city from TERRORISTS.
Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week.
ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

They expect - they NEED - the people they threaten to fall in line, like the law firms and universities and media companies and billionaires and Congress did. If you say “No, make me,” they simply do not have a Plan B. TRUMP DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS TO MAKE YOU.

Still hard to believe that there are videos and witnesses to someone shooting a woman in the face three times. Yet the shooter has not been arrested even though the police know who and where he is.

It’s also worth noting that in Nazi Germany, closing down scientists and other intellectuals’ ability to travel for work was an early move to keep people from escaping.
Scientific conferences are where the exchange of important ideas happen. It’s where new collaborations come forth and innovation dreamed up. It’s really disheartening that NIH scientists and representatives are being banned from attending. www.reuters.com/business/hea...
Exclusive: US NIH scientists barred from attending conferences on their own time and dime
Researchers at the U.S. National Institutes of Health have been told they cannot attend scientific conferences and meetings without official permission, even if they pay their own way and go during time off, three current and former NIH scientists told Reuters.

It increasingly seems like many of these ICE goons are masking not because they're worried we'll learn who they are out of uniform and more because they're worried what other uniforms they've worn.
I wonder how long it will take the media to catch on to the fact that ICE’s recruiting spree has effectively deputized every white supremacist hate group out there.

I think it’s fair to say that under any previous president a White House staffer who spoke about a NATO ally like this would have been hog tied and throw bodily out over the White House fence in propitiation of the ravening congressional committees marching down Pennsylvania Ave to investigate.
Miller: Denmark is a tiny country with a tiny economy and a tiny military. They cannot defend Greenland… Under every understanding of law that has existed about territorial control for 500 years, to control a territory you have to be able to defend a territory…
