Like yea there are protests..
But if masked, armed thugs invade your neighborhood and terrorize your community, standing against that is not βprotestingβ.
Thatβs an attempt to maintain safety. The government made itself the danger.

The problem that we're upset over innocent people are getting shot in the face.
Congress should pass a law requiring agents to show their faces, identify themselves, & wear their badges. Itβs not agent safety we have to worry about these days.
End so-called Kavanaugh stops & admin warrant-based forced entry into homes too. Letβs have a Constitution.

Great. Our foreign policy is only restrained by Trump's own morality (He has any?) What could go wrong? Just US servicemembers dying in illegal wars on multiple fronts, the end of NATO, WW3?
This psyochopath must be stopped! (Hello, Congress?)

Letβs ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors.

This is what Dem leaders need to understand. The murder yesterday and the shootings today in Portland are the result of POLICY. This is exactly what they intend. If you collaborate with the GOP in any way, blood is on your hands too.

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: It is much more likely that an ICE agent has an arrest record than an immigrant. β Time to unmask, prosecute, and lock them up.
