Trump's federal agents shot Marimar Martinez, a US citizen, multiple times for allegedly menacing them with her car in Chicago. Only hours later, Kristi Noem and DHS started spreading disinformation about the shooting.

AFP's statement β¬οΈ
The United States military swears loyalty to the Constitution, not to any political party or leader.
Anyone in a position of power giving orders to the military to use force against American citizens is a fascist and must be opposed by those still loyal to the Constitution.
Of course. And dialling numbers outside your own area code was easy to remember too - because you had to get an operator to do it

They always start with free speech. It sounds reasonable, doesnβt it? Free speech? And they can use it to shut down anyone who criticises them, because itβs all βfree speechβ

The Trump regime believes that if it can overwhelm us with atrocities and threats, we'll surrender our rights without fighting for them.

This is fascism. This is a police state. Masked men with guns in unmarked cars are driving through residential neighborhoods during the daytime looking to kidnap women and children.
Resist this. Never normalize this or else these fascists thugs will some day be used against you and your family.

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this yearβs cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE
