There is no such legal or other "absolute immunity" protection for police or other law enforcement. All can be held responsible for their actions if they acted above and beyond their authority. "Self defense" can be argued as a legal defense but it must be justified.

We are posted up outside LC High School here in Spokane, where hundreds of students have walked out of their class in protest of ICE. LC is one of six schools across the Spokane participating in the walkout, which was organized at a lunch table last Thursday.

Bless the Ford worker who called Donald Trump a pedophile protector to his face today, which made President Pedo Protector throw up his tiny middle finger.

The Trump Administration is no longer hiding their Nazi inspiration, with Noem adopting a slogan coined by convicted Nazi war criminal Kurt Daluebe, who ordered the murder of every male in Lidice in retaliation for the death of a single SS officer.
Is this Trump's plan for American cities?

We are putting too much hope into “the eventual Nuremberg 2.0 trials.” They might never come and we can’t assume they will. We must not rest on this assumption. It makes us lazy and complicit.

Today a US citizen was murdered by the US government. How you all digesting this? Just another new normal to grow accustomed to?

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

As the USA races towards fascism I like to distract myself by following closely and interjecting myself into the bromance between @tristentaylor.bsky.social and @boerewoes.bsky.social.
The love/hate between you two is basically the only things keeping my hope alive.

Now that Trump has shut down the government, Democrats need to be loud and confident in our argument.
No 75% premium increases. No lawlessness.
That’s what we are fighting for. The people will be with us. But only if we show strength.

We did little but sat around hoping for a hero to save us from a collapsing Democracy. We realized too late that we were the heros the USA needed. We now wring our hands, “but what could we have done!?” we cry. We could have tried. I’m scared and you should be too.
