And yes, knowing that troops are being sent into battle sans Rules of Engagement is a big stressor for me. It honestly makes me sick to my stomach knowing that is happening. Knowing America has become this.
Where are we? A president clearly in mental decline, a compliant Congress afraid to exercise there oversight responsibilities when the useful idiot starts a war. When I served, it never occurred to me that I would ever have to question an order.
Put ICE agents on the front lines. They are already in costume.
This aged well. Note the author.
ICE recruits should be the first ones shipped off for “war.”
Bombing Iran won’t make us forget about the Epstein files
Only took me a few weeks but here is a list of books to introduce one to all things military. My latest⬇️
I’m so proud of all the Olympic athletes speaking out about the bullshit that is happening here. That’s what patriotism looks like.
I just stopped looking at the news and put on a serial killer documentary to relax.
Wise words from WEB DuBois to gird us today: "It would be shame and cowardice to surrender this glorious land and its opportunities for civilization and humanity to the thugs and lynchers, the mobs and profiteers, the monopolists & gamblers who today choke its soul and steal its resources."
"Is [Hegseth] itching to get the U.S. military into the streets, to back up ICE’s undertrained civilians with professional soldiers and heavier hardware?"
If T invokes Insurrection Act & sends mil to MN, as some allies have been pushing, what might happen?1/

Only political cowards “struggle” to respond...
Federal officer clenches a loaded shotgun in his thighs and waggles his boomstick strapon in the direction of reporters and protestors in front of a hotel while he fumbles with a tear gas greande, jfc.
Thank God there were people filming. This administration would have said Alex Pretti pulled a handgun, a package of fentanyl, and a signed copy of the Communist Manifesto if they could.
I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal
Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."
We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.
There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.
This is my favorite guide.
💯. We treated enemy combatants - who may have been very recently trying to violently kill us - with a level of restraint and professionalism that appears to be beyond the imagination of a federal law enforcement organization handling non-violent American citizens.
they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.
Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
White. Hot. Rage.
ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing?
ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW.
I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.
Holy shit, half a dozen agents wrestling an observer on the ground and then one just shoots him, multiple times. Just f'ng shoots him
Many of us have been pointing out that the readiness with which these agents have drawn weapons, and gotten their fingers anywhere near the trigger, is WILDLY contrary to best practices and the sort of thing that inevitably leads to people getting shot.
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.
I genuinely think boycotting the World Cup is some of the strongest leverage the Europeans have.
