They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

Tear gassing random residential streets is just absolutely psychotic behavior.
there's actually a really good reason that dems keep approving nominations and that reason is they're willing partners whose job is to prevent political opposition to fascism by pretending to be it
New from @francescadnunz.bsky.social: It was two days before his 50th birthday and he already had plans to celebrate with his wife, a U.S. citizen. Instead, ICE placed him in a detention center he once protested against.
