What they've done to LA and are doing to DC they want to do to a city near you. We know this becasue they are saying it; and we know this because they just greenlighted $171 billion more for their secret police.
Comer: "We're gonna support doing this in other cities if it works out in Washington DC. We spend a lot on our military. Our military has been in many countries around the world for the past two decades walking the streets trying to reduce crime. We need to focus on the big cities in America now."

ICE used your taxpayer dollars to trick out a bunch of trucks in new livery, all painted black with "ICE" and a logo printed in gold on the side (and Trump's name in gold on the back window), then shoot a rap video in DC to post on social media.

I think that people need to remember that there is nothing permanent except for death [and some people believe even that is not a permanent state]. Stop pretending that just because the fascist decree shit even if that shit is "law" that it's permanent. If we gain power, we can change everything.
