This is the kind of excessive force case DOJ routinely prosecutes. They should open an investigation here, based on the misconduct not the victims status.

Someone who deploys Marines against peaceful protesters can’t be trusted to make sound judgments on the use of military force.

The fascists want you to be frightened. They want you to be hopeless. They want you to be distracted. They want you to be disorganized. They want you to be joyless. They want you to be timid. They want you to be hateful. Refuse to be. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dont-be-wh...

Conserving our environment is an American value. From hikers to hunters we want to keep our public lands public! Thats why the unprecedented sell-off of millions of acres of public lands needs to be removed from the Senate Budget Bill. Nature is non partisan! 🇺🇸 Pass it on!

We are facing a serious threat to democracy, law, and liberty. The abuse of prosecutorial power to intimidate, investigate, and detain political opponents is upon us. It is a constitutional crisis. I will keep speaking out until public outrage overflows. I just hope it’s not too little, too late.

Willful blindness. Wishful thinking. So easily lied to. So easily fooled. Some are stronger. Some are weaker. Do you want to bully and exploit the weak? Or are you an American who protects the equality of everyone? Reject the Republican maga madness. It's past time to decide. Resist.

Remember that authoritarians are always trying to create crises or take advantage of existing crises as a "state of exception," which gives them more power and abrogates any established restraints.

Masked agents in unmarked cars disappearing people from the street and shipping them to a dictator’s prison. Executive branch officials blowing off federal court orders, wrestling members of Congress to the ground and handcuffing them for asking a question. Smells like fascism.

Whats happened in LA over the weekend is pathetic. Once again we see the commander in chief agitating and escalating shit. On another note, it doesn't seem like dems were "overreacting" when we said the fate of democracy depends on this election.

Hey, Supposed Christians, Any city you live in should be a sanctuary city. The whole effin’ point of Jesus’ teachings was to love the poor, the sick, the hungry, the foreigner. You can’t celebrate or abide violence against the least of these and still try to claim you’re a Christian. Choose.
