This is wild what we’re seeing here.

Or maybe legislation that ends ICE.

[Maine @TheMaineWonk]

More physical assault on protestors by ICE agents. The police state doesn’t care about your 1st amendment rights no matter who you are or what your citizenship status is.

It’s time for legislation that creates a code of conduct for ICE and mandating body cameras.

Interesting watching everybody see the fascist takeover through their own lens:

- Schmitt (friend/foe Nazi theory)
- Project 2025
- Seven Mountains Dominionism
- Network State
- Dugin Eurasianism
- Project Russia
- Monetary policy capture

In reality, they have all merged. 🤝

[Lester Spence @LesterSpence]

This is something many faculty member with expertise in this area should be able to do. All you need is interest from your local library branch.

I just heard that a group of national guards (probably a small one) got off the MARC train at the west baltimore stop. Has anyone else reported on this?
