How many government workers will lose their jobs and, even worse their homes, just so Republicans can protect Trump and his pedophile posse?

Incredible photo from @chicago.suntimes.com ‘s Anthony Vazquez. Pointing what looks to be a teargas launcher at someone’s head at nearly point blank range is incredibly dangerous. This is why I prefer a ballistic helmet in the field.
Feds ram SUV in chase down residential street in Chicago, then tear-gas crowd
The crash happened late Tuesday morning near 105th Street and Avenue N on Chicago's East Side, resulting in dozens of residents showing up to protest the federal immigration agents.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

Trump Administration now censoring Facebook:

Chicago Sun-Times @chicago.suntimes.com · 21h
At the request of the U.S. Department of Justice, a Facebook group used by nearly 80,000 people to report sightings of federal immigration agents in the Chicago area has been taken down by the social media giant Meta, Facebook’s parent company.
Facebook suspends popular Chicago ICE-sightings group at Trump administration’s request
The group, "ICE Sighting-Chicagoland," has been increasingly used in the last five weeks of President Donald Trump’s intense deportation campaign to warn neighbors that federal agents are nearby.

This shutdown is about Republicans trying to rip health care away from 15 million families and protecting pedophiles. There’s nothing more evil or un-American.

Russia’s leader isn’t nearly as strong as he’s made out to be, @andryvkin writes. “A realistic view of his power would strip Putin of his biggest leverage: the perception of his invincibility”: www.theatlantic.com/internationa...
Putin Is Not Winning
Underestimating the Russian leader is dangerous, but ascribing dark powers to him plays right into his hands.

Peaceful protestors have gathered in front of the Parliament Building in Tbilisi, Georgia, to voice their concern over the repressive direction of their country. They have every right to democracy, to freedom of expression and basic human rights.

We are here to support them.

I had to listen to the audio to confirm it, but yes, as troops are being deployed to American cities, as masked goons are disappearing citizens from our streets, as ICE agents are shooting pepper balls at priests ... Mike Johnson thinks nude bicyclists are "the most threatening thing I've seen yet."

For those who don’t get it. Dressing as frogs takes away their narrative that the left protesting is violent.
We take away their power. We use humor and highlight their absurdity. The primary goal is to mock and undermine claims by officials, like Donald Trump
