Historian here No Kings is the most American thing you could say and the people opposing it simply don’t believe in our republic or constitutional democracy.

Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

Holy shit. The Chevy Tahoe Border Patrol used to slam Marimar Martinez before shooting her was the personal vehicle of the officer involved, not a rental and not CBP's--and he drove it back to Maine.

chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...
The Border Patrol agent who shot a woman after their vehicles collided in Brighton Park this month has since driven his vehicle to Maine, preventing her defense attorney from examining it as he prepares for trial “as soon as possible,” the attorney told a judge Thursday. The car is the “centerpiece” of the dispute over the Oct. 4 incident involving Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, attorney Chris Parente explained to U.S. District Judge Georgia Alexakis. Now Parente said he intends to ask for sanctions in the hot-button case. In the meantime, Alexakis told prosecutors, “I think you need to get the car back.” She ordered it returned to Chicago on a flatbed trailer, at Parente’s request. Related Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims agent said, ‘Do something b----' before shooting Parente, who represents Martinez, also raised concerns about potential evidence tampering. The car at issue is the agent’s personal vehicle, a prosecutor told the judge.

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton.

I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

I have absolutely no pity nor sympathy for Mitch McConnell, he’s one of the most evil corrupt beings on the planet who destroyed our Supreme Court and led this country to the disastrous train wreck we are in today.

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly.

Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested.

Stay safe out there.
This picture is from about 5 minutes after being hit. A visible bruise is forming on my right cheekbone and by my right eye.
