This is horrifying

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

The word for

has such a long vowel at the end.

the characters on the stamp

is also ironic.

Maybe give them some kind of marking in case they ever decide to take that uniform off ...
We all need to start fighting back so this isn’t normalized.
When we come back from burning down the Whitehouse, we drop by Boston and burn down the arena AND the Medford police station.
What’s to stop random creeps from just abducting victims in broad daylight, if a hoodie & mask is all that’s needed?
This could be literally ANYONE, taking whoever they like for any purpose, just claiming to be ICE!
The US public put in power a fascist regime and are now reaping what they have sown.
Whether anybody has the spine to stand up to the fascists is yet to be seen.
And they will invariably testify, "I was only following orders".
Seeing the US suddenly shift to being that -- a place in which people who have broken no law can be "disappeared" by thugs from the regime -- is terrifying.
