Surely this is justified because they are arresting verified murderers and rapists, no?

Or just people going about their daily life.

If you ever had any doubt that the youth wing of the GOP is fully radicalized and proudly racist these days:

The man is a bonafide idiot.

One big difference, Myron. The OP talked about “men with guns and masks”. Black Americans have had to endure these kind of threats from regular police, with badges and name tags - even video cameras on their chests. And yet, every Black American is still at risk of being targeted by law enforcement.

Why has this not been done?

Why has there not been a class action suit for his lies about COVID, for example?

Saturday is going to be huge, boisterous and joyful: “It doesn’t matter if you’ve never protested before. This is a place for you if you believe we don’t do kings in this country.” - @ezralevin.bsky.social to @maddow.msnbc.com

Please join us on No Kings Day: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

If their followers were paying attention these guys would be taking a massive risk by characterizing the No Kings rally as they are. Come Monday of next week it will be obvious these characterizations are false.

Lucky for them, their followers are not paying attention. At least not to reality.

Even more damning for the Republican Party, wouldn’t you say?

She is associated with and aligned with Harlan Crow (et al). She might think she is the Ed Murrow of her day, but it would be very surprising if she did not understand the implications of this association.

But…I suppose both of these things can be true.

The intent was to let you correct or refine (or concur) with this framework, not to declare it as definitive.

I should have clarified this. Apologies.

Now that I have clarified… back to you if you please.

I’m here to be educated, not lecture.

Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now.

Do it for your country. For the Constitution. For your freedoms.

These are the same kind of weasels who would’ve called George Washington & America’s revolutionaries “terrorists.” They spend their days sucking up to King Trump & demonizing peaceful protest just as some in America sought to appease King George III.

Looking forward to No Kings Day.

Johnson describes planned No Kings rally as ‘hate America,’ ‘pro-Hamas’ gathering

Organizers largely blew off the rhetoric, but some Democrats online criticized the tone.
