Americans are slow learners with very short attention spans.
Republicans wreck the economy and the Democrats come in and clean it up. Because the voters don’t think they are doing it fast enough, they throw them out.
This time, they may have wrecked Democracy.

Why would he arrest her for a parking violation? Don’t you get a TICKET for that?

⚠️ GRAPHIC CONTENT ⚠️
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office arrested a Black mother outside her child’s school after an officer confronted her about leaving her car illegally parked and unattended. This level of force on an unarmed woman in a school pick-up line is outrageous! 👇

What happened to all the love for “first responders?”

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

Documents Allege a Federal Agent at Portland ICE Threatened to Shoot an Ambulance Driver

Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

This is pure gestapo bullshit right here.
So we all have to carry “papers” now to go out in public?
