Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.”

A good way to honor January 6th is just to reshare a bunch of the video from it so you can experience again the immediate visceral reaction to an attack on America.

BIG crowd of people shouting at police.
"Fuck you!"

1. PIMeyes: basically an easy reverse image search & will find their face ANYWHERE on the internet (useful if they give a fake name)
2. Cyber Background Checks: will find their criminal records
