I have two, simple requests for those who I follow and for those who follow me:

1. Always refer to the Trump administration as the Trump regime.

2. The National Guard, military, and federal agencies occupying U.S. cities must be referred to as occupying forces.

I was the Production Manager of Whidbey Video back in the day, in Burbank, CA. One of the founders was stationed there. Love the PNW and always had a connection.

Good! My guess is that they are not kids. But if he thinks they are, that makes it appear even more heavy handed. That works.

It’s just a facility on an existing US AFB. Doesn’t make it right tho.

Friends is a fictional TV comedy and has nothing to do with GOP fascists. JFC. It’s always one step forward and five steps back with this guy.

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

ICE NEARBY
