Post below. This is government paramilitary terror. Illegally battering down the door of the home of a man legally in the US. Who regularly checks in with authorities. Trump and Stephen Miller are leading brownshirt tactics and government terror by quota. This is Germany in Hitler's early years.

This is Chris in Minneapolis. He came in with his brother, wife and one one of his daughters from his 5000 ft. square house 45 minutes away just because he was so pissed off, and don’t you dare say he was paid to be there—he has to get up and go to work in the morning.

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.

glad they're on this. i've noticed this and you probably have too. shattering drivers side car windows appears to be a top and preferred tactic for ICE. even when nothing is happening that makes it necessary or even on the most generous interpretation warranted. it's terror tactic.
Last July, ProPublica documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts and former ICE insiders say was rarely used before President Trump began his second term:

Kinda hard to gaslight us into believing they’re actually supportive of LEGAL immigration when they’re targeting LEGAL immigrants.

Donald Trump promised to lower prices on Day One — but a year later, all he's done is jack up electricity bills and slash thousands of good jobs.
Warren, Markey say Trump’s policies cost state $8.6 billion in clean energy funding and more than 16,000 jobs - The Boston Globe
A report from Senator Elizabeth Warren’s and Senator Ed Markey’s offices, released Tuesday, shows the state ranks second in lost or delayed clean energy jobs and first in lost or delayed investments.

Though the Department of Justice has only divulged 1 percent of the trove of Epstein files documents in their possession, “inevitable glitches” and the need to make extensive redactions means there’s no timeline for a full release
Epstein Files Release Delayed By Redactions, Department of Justice Says
One month after the mandated deadline to publish the Justice Department's files on the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, less than 1 percent of the documents have been released.

I can't believe masked, untrained, heavily armed, lawless paramilitary, who beat, choke, kill and "disappear" citizens, legal residents, and those w/o legal status - w/o a warrant, are tolerated in the US. I never thought I would see the day. Write your Rep and your Senators: Defund ICE now.

A U.S. citizen legally observed ICE activity from a distance. He didn’t interfere, block agents, or make contact. An ICE agent still threatened lethal force and referenced a recent killing. That’s retaliation for protected speech—and it’s illegal. Caught on video. #sheshed

Bit of a parable here.
The federal government Friday agreed to pay $125,000 after a judge found a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent liable for civil assault for pointing a gun at a hotel maintenance man who came to the agent’s room to unclog a toilet.

We need to get it lodged more firmly in the discourse that Trump and Stephen Miller are prioritizing removing nonviolent immigrants over public safety. They are sinking so many resources into their ethnic purification project that they're putting us in more danger.

Props to Nicole Wallace for extensive coverage of Jack Smith's House deposition on the 5th anniversary of J6 to remind us of Trump's culpability for the insurrection. Most MSM spent 24/7 on Venezuela. A massive, illegal distraction from J6 and the Epstein disclosure report statutorily due Jan 3.
