The Pentagon now blocks unapproved reporting. Every real news outlet should report the truth, one by one. When one’s banned, the next steps up. If you still keep a reporter there, you’re not doing journalism. You’re just waiting your turn to stay silent.

Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd.
Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

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.

Soo uhhh say goodbye to porn, important information online, social media & freedom of speech if we don't call our representatives/senators to stop this from passing the senate. The bill thats an EXACT replicate of KOSA just passed the house.
Update on this. Apparently the bill just passed the House... 409-2.
So, uh, yeah. A ton of Dems just gave the Trump FTC more power to censor the internet. Great job guys.

FBI has arrested Judge Hannah Dugan in Milwaukee, WI, for "helping an illegal escape arrest." FBI hasn't provided an arrest warrant or criminal complaint, but Judge Dugan already sits behind bars.
We told you it would escalate when they disappeared immigrants without due process. This is fascism.
