then add to that the police & ICE rioting while peaceful demonstrations were happening
Bass: If you want to go back in time, where was LA on Thursday? Fine, peaceful. Nothing was happening. The minute ICE rolled into town, that's when the chaos started and then add to that—bringing in federal troops.

the point is that the world saw a crime committed by uniformed thugs & following orders is not a defense
Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

forced labour was an offshoot of the "lebensraum" policy of the ruling nazi regime to exploit conquered territory. in u.s. america, it is rebranded as "america first." allegedly polite republicans use euphemisms like "changing face of america," while the more radical fringes will say "replacement"
Take a listen and seriously consider it. While this is not an uncommon practice, I am glad people are beginning to speak up about it.

the Führereid was a pledge of allegiance to the leader of the ruling nazi party, not the country or its constitution, taken by members of the military and the civil service. at fort bragg, they also wear berets.
Can’t emphasize enough what a disgrace this whole sad episode was
Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

The army allowed the sale of MAGA merchandise to troops when Trump did his speech at Fort Bragg yesterday, military dot com reports.
Not only was the audience screened for Trump loyalists it became another grift operation.
The event was to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the army.

It’s fair to say that the events of the last week have proven that the Huntington bargain, the separation of military and civilian-political spheres, is essentially dead. The military is going to be involved in domestic politics, whether it can handle that, we’re going to find out soon. My latest⬇️
