We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

Attacking the press

Kelly @broadwaybabyto.bsky.social · 13h

Chicago journalist Debbie Brockman, who was thrown to the ground & handcuffed by ICE, has been released without charges

DHS said she assaulted an officer, but eye witnesses claim she didn’t

The lack of charges makes it clear that ICE is lying to try and cover up the fact that they attack the press

It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.

a spy who works for one country or organization but secretly provides information to a rival one.

The Hamas-intermediator for peace in the Middle East is a tight rope political stance of uncertainty.
