A clarity of thought seemed pervasive through the crowd, not from training together or even knowing each other. I think it was having a shared goal that is inherently disruptive (block ICE) that made the steps to that end collectively understood and embraced.

NEW: The F.D.A. announced in an internal memo that 10 children died "because of" the Covid shot. Other experts want to see proof.
“This is a profound revelation,” Dr. Prasad's memo said. “For the first time, the U.S. F.D.A. will acknowledge that Covid-19 vaccines have killed American children.”

The real question we need to ask ourselves as a nation is, WHY did so many people vote for this in the first place? Trump is the symptom. Not the problem.

Democratic messaging to our military about killing civilians extrajudicially is too polite. Soliders, sailors and Marines need fair warning that at a future point, a restored military judicial process will review these slayings, and those executing an unlawful order will be subject to that process.
