“Fascism” isn’t a slur for politics we don’t like. It’s a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of what’s happening right now in America, it’s the most honest one we have.

ICE advanced again, started firing at photographers/press intentionally. Took a nasty lick to the face, unsure if pepper ball or rubber bullet.

ICE agents in tactical gear shooting less lethals at some (few dozen?) protesters. One agent wears a skull mask (like white supremacists do).
America, this is NOT normal. It's not any standard method used by cops for crowd control. It's excessive force disproportionate to the threat.

As the ICE vehicle and crowd approached the ICE building, agents advanced and began firing pepper balls into the crowd.

The DOJ deleted a 2024 study by the National Institute of Justice showing that right-wing extremism in the US is far more violent than any other political ideology.
B/t 1990 & now:
- Far-right = 227 attacks, killing 520.
- Left Wing = 42 attacks, killing 78.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil.
