ICE is pepper spraying CPD (Chicago police)

Continued video of feds gassing protestors and CPD alike. In the chaos one woman came to a CPD officer asking for help for a relative that she says feds just grabbed. Officer response: "We just clocked in. We don't know what's going on."

My message to Kristi Noem is clear: Get out of Chicago.

No indication yet from major media that the FBI has any interest whatsoever in investigating this apparent attempted assassination of a well-known judge openly targeted on social media by the far-right activist—Harmeet Dhillon—currently calling herself Assistant Attorney General of the United States

ICE is hog tying protesters in Portland and removing them on Dollies. This is dangerous and could cause serious injury. The Department of Homeland Security thinks it’s a joke. They’ve shared this video with the tagline “Refuse to Walk? We’ll give you a ride”. Stay strong Portland.

this burned home belongs to this sc circuit judge reportedly & her husband a former state senator (dem) www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I understand this. Please tell me you do, too.

Harmeet Dhillon (DOJ) publicly targeted this judge on Twitter a couple weeks ago.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

One glaring gap in Trump's autism campaign is any willingness to help the people & families affected by autism today. If he were serious, he would demand increases to respite care, life skills training, employment opportunities, & healthcare coverage. Until he does, this is just more nonsense.
