"Here are the demands we all need to make: Use the National Guard to protect our citizens. Arrest agents who commit crimes. Charge police, National Guard, and ICE with crimes when they commit or refuse to stop them. . . . Do it now."

Frey: "You cannot drag pregnant women through the snow. You're not allowed to take teenagers out of their car and detain them when they are in fact American citizens. That is against the law in every state. That is against our US Constitution."

Let us never forget that this administration does not represent the will of the majority of Americans. We as a nation have time and time again shown that we can overcome and do better for ourselves and the world. This too shall pass. MAGA will meet its end.

Your right to film
Visit www.PAXIS.app for the ChatGPT simulation of PAXIS to get the full details, but here’s a summary…

You have a First Amendment right to record law enforcement — including ICE agents — in public while they’re doing their jobs, as long as you don’t interfere with their activity.

FYI: Judge Ellis (Chicago ICE case) noted in November that video evidence shows ICE "brake-checked other motorists in an attempt to force accidents that agents could then use as justifications for deploying force."

Saying the officer who committed murder is a murderer is dangerous, but it's OK to claim that his victim was a domestic terrorist who literally ran him over.
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

Noem is a liar and her agency is filled with liars. Receipts:

TAPPER: You called Renee Good a "domestic terrorist." Why did you not wait for an investigation?

NOEM: Everything I've said has been proven to be factual and the truth. This administration wants to operate in transparency.

T: What you said is not what happened

N: It absolutely is what happened

It’s the role of the jesters to bring truth to power and challenge authority under the veil of humor. God bless the jesters who have the courage to make a stand against this tangerine turd and his authoritarian lackeys. Ironic that The Onion appears to be real news and FOX is satire.

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks
