Boycott US

Whoever told you that, is your enemy

Since the 2001 Patriot Act, the USA trashed their last gram of freedom.

It has always been this way. If you were a Hunter S. Thompson reader. You knew this way back. If you read about the real American history. You would know that the military was and has been used against Americans by terrible leaders. Just look at the Veteran Camps during the great depression. Requesting their war payments. Patton was sent in to clear them out. America has always been like this. It's never been a good place for most people. Where I grew up. The sheriffs office committed a mass murder against striking coal miners in the 1800's. This country is not a good place. Never has been.

Im really excited for the next election when the Dems force us to vote between Newsom and whatever mentally unstable nazi the republicans find, and we lose every branch again...

I watched this on a few sources. One had better audio than the others, and you could hear one of the "deputies" muttering quietly to the others that they were being filmed. I wonder how much more escalated and violent this might have been if they hadn't had that realization that they were being recorded.....

More of us than them, imagine what we can do together. Give them the boot!

Newsom has been aggressively rounding up homeless people for months, and threatening cities who protect them.

Do not go thinking he is one of the good guys.

So an unelected figurehead of the federal government has come to my state, had a senator I voted for arrested over asking a question which is his civic duty to ask, and has now made threats at removal of my elected govenor as well as an elected mayor of one of the cities here.

At which point would these actions be considered tyrannical enough to provide a decent argument for a use of the 2nd amendment in court?

Yes, it is. All those white men had the freedom to push that Mexican guy to the ground and handcuff him. See, that's real freedom, according to the Ten Commandments. It's why we should put the Ten Commandments in every schoolroom, so people know what they say, and how they say DEI is bad. It's right next to the Commandments about how oil belongs to America and the KJV is the only valid translation.

They’re really targeting California as a whole now. The state that supported the union so much over history. Republicans must really feel jealous that it is the richest state.

Apart from the obvious "arresting a senator for asking questions" thing, is whatever's happening on this picture standard procedure for arresting an unarmed, unthreatening person in the US? It looks like they're arresting a terrorist or a dangerous suspect

Senator Alex Padilla (D-Ca), interrupted and arrested while asking questions of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem related to ICE. She's the former South Dakota governor who spent $5 million of her state's COVID money on a tourism campaign. You might remember the dept of Homeland Security was created (along with the term "homeland") by George "Dubya" Bush after 9/11, as "not a whole new agency" but a reorganization of parts of existing agencies, to coordinate their work (to protect Freedom™). Their budget this year is $107 billion. Sound like a whole lotta coordinatin' goin' on.

For those like me who didn’t know what exactly this was about, here’s a video of the incident:

The dumb woman talking said “liberate the city from socialists”. Doesn’t it bother Americans that a person in her position, is so fucking dumb she doesn’t even know what socialism is?

It reminds me of Putin saying they’ll save Ukraine from nazis.

So when they turn to the camera guy at the end they repeatedly keep saying you're not allowed to record due to FBI rights. That is something I've never heard before.

Unless they are trying to refer to something from the Patriot act the FBI has the same rights as everyone else.

They’re only handcuffing the liberal ones.

Welcome to fascism.
