AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

These are not police. By law, they have to identify. If they won’t—copy their plates, call the actual police and let them know you are witnessing armed police impersonators.

I am proud to associate with 50501 - this is the standard we must all hold ourselves to: nonviolence, truth, caring for all. I mourn Afa’s senseless death. It is what I have always feared when well intentioned armed people think they can protect. Protests are not a place for weapons. Period.

If Trump does drop the bombs, that could set off an oil price inflation and new migrant crisis that will supercharge the National Populists in Europe. Perfect conditions for the RN, AfD and Reform. The more the Alt-Right destroy, the stronger they get.

Now the "free world" wants to reward this terrorism by lifting sanctions. Cause if you're too weak to stand up to the aggressor -- the easiest way is to pretend the aggression doesn't exist. Don't look up. This monstrous insanity looks like a fictional plot -- if only it wasn't our lives.
