Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week.
ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

We’re in a moral fight, and Democrats in Congress need to start acting like the opposition party on every 👏🏽 damn 👏🏽 thing 👏🏽
Opposition isn’t about polite press releases and sad cable hits. It’s about using every procedural tool available to slow, expose, and force accountability.

As many are noting, it's not too late to get vaccinated. The shot takes about 2 weeks to be fully effective, but the flu season isn't over. Also, masking is effective at limiting the virus' spread, both keeping you from spreading the flu and from getting it if you're around others who are infected.
according to a thing I read this morning, only 1/4 of eligible people in my state got the flu vaccine so far, and now a 4-year-old died of the flu. Please get vaccinated if you can!

yes, agreed, and: this is a reminder that Trump *did* send the military in to DC, and they’re still here. I can see NG troops in uniform from my window. It’s been over 150 days.
This is where it is going. This is what Stephen Miller is pushing to Trump. The only reason it has not happened yet is that the violence is obviously coming from state actors. There is no insurrection to control. But we are one incident away from Trump sending in the military.
President threatens to deploy the Insurrection Act against Minnesota.

Anything less than abolishing ICE is unacceptable. I don't want to hear people talk about training these motherfuckers or throwing more money at them. The entire institution needs to be permanently disbanded. Do not let politicians sell you on anything less.

MINNEAPOLIS, United States -- Paramilitary forces under the command of President Trump brandished weapons and refused members of parliament access to a facility under their oversight. Legal observers say the Federales' campaign of terrorism and murder is part of a broader attack on the rule of law.
JUST NOW: Huge mass of agents in a standoff, weapons drawn as Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison attempt to conduct congressional oversight at the Whipple Building, which has been HQ for thousands of ICE agents.
