It's funny how they're pro mask wearing now: these are probably the same people who refused to wear masks during Covid, and saw doing so as weakness, and submitting to government tyranny.

But the rules are different when committing crimes against humanity and not wanting the civilized world to know who's doing it.

Yes… I worked with dozens of Officers during Covid who called it a Democratic Hoax. In the end - 800+ officers died of Covid. (According to Officer Down Page) The Silence about that loss was deafening.

These are the same republiKKKlans who want a whites only run country. Sad that black federal agents are helping them to disappear these migrants off the streets, because they will be the next to get enslaved.

It’s like the American Gestapo the way they’re dressed and what they do. It used to be the police were on your side. Not these masked me.

This is just mind numbingly appalling. George Orwell would be like: Damn I was a couple decades too early with the year when I sketched a frightening, full-on fascist dystopia, but you guys definitely proved me to be astonishingly prescient!

He was actually four years late. It really all started in 1980.

Yeah and somehow the only time republicans care is when it happens directly to them, otherwise they do not care.

When it does happen to them, they blame "the libs" - because Faux Newspeak told them to. Idiots.

Science fiction writers have an amazing ability to project from current status into the future. They see connections and power them forward.

Or they are time traveling?

I saw officer Gonnell on Substack live yesterday. It was painful to see the US is giving Ashli Babbitt military honor and pardoning all the Jan 6 criminals, while claiming they support the police. They only support thugs that prop up the regime by terrorizing citizens or residents they dislike.

Shameful. But understandable since our current President never experienced being under fire. He has no conception of honor.

Whenever the swamp goes away, each Capitol police officer should be thanked. Their efforts forestalled an ending shot of our former Veep hanging from that scaffold.

If injured, medical reimbursement and a medal of valor.

Shirts? I'd buy, and wear, a "Why are you hiding your face? Public servants should face the public." shirt, with a flag and masked person with the mask circled and crossed out. Or something like that. XLT please. Would generate revenue for the cause and spread the message.

Glad you are doing this. That said, D.of C. should pass a law that says no ICE/Border Patrol enforcement may hide their identity while actively on duty, must show their badge and ID whenever asked, and must provide a warrant or justifiable cause before taking any person into custody. ANYONE taken into custody has the right to prove in court that they are here legally. Even as a Liberal, I am completely in favor of ALL illegal immigrants being deported …and mind you, some illegal immigrants are very Caucasian. People who are here legally have paperwork to prove it and law enforcement has the ability to confirm that fact. If we want migrants workers, then we have to force the BOSSES to confirm their right to be here, or be put out of business. I have no sympathy for farmers who hire undocumented workers. I lived in a border town for seven years and there were thousands who crossed the border daily for work and went home at the end of the work day. When farms are not close to the border, permits to work, and live nearby during the season, can easily be obtained. It does not make sense to allow law breakers to work or stay. But it also does not make sense to allow masked thugs to sweep people off the street without identifying themselves. This makes it very dangerous for people of color who are citizens or are here legally. They should be uniformed, badged, have ID, and OFFICIAL vehicles. ICE/Border Patrol is not an under-cover operation.

Well define “illegal” and then show me your ancestors “legal” documents used when they got here. If you cant prove they were here legally are you illegally here. Does not matter if you were born here. Trump makes up bullshit rules and all of you buy into it.

Perhaps with colder weather arriving in the majority of the country, we should all wear gloves and ski masks?? ⛷️

If you wear a mask while trying to be a tough guy, I’ll assume you’re a just a coward who knows you’re a fraud. Oh, and a criminal. I don’t care what debt you’re trying to pay, only cowards bully.

Donald Trump pardoned violent criminals who—in response to his call—attacked a Joint Session of Congress on 1/6/2021. Part of these vicious criminals are now ICE deployed bounty-hunters directed by Donald Trump to ignore due process, to kidnap People of Color, and make them disappear before the Courts can learn of their existence.

Trump has appointed leaders of his failed 1/6/2021 Insurrection to major posts in his criminal administration. His MAGA base includes criminals he pardoned working as ICE’s Gestapo, it includes an irretrievably corrupted Supreme Court, it includes criminals serving in the President’s Cabinet, hundreds of corrupt Republican Members of Congress, thousands of corrupt Republican office-holders, and millions of Neo-Nazis who hate People-of-Color.

Led by the lifelong racist Donald Trump, these MAGAts are trying to convert the USA’s Constitutional Republic into a Fascist, Christian-Nationalist, White-Supremacist Kleptocracy to be ruled in perpetuity by the Trump Family Crime Syndicate.

The overwhelming majority of Americans reject Trump, his Sycophants, and the crimes they have committed, and continue to commit. This majority will seize control of Congress in 2026, impeach Trump and remove him from office in 2027, and retake the Whitehouse in 2028.

Fanone, so grateful for your courage. When you say these agents are unprofessional, I think that's a critical point that those experienced in law enforcement are especially equipped to lift up. They're unlike any police force I've ever encountered—the whole-head masking and seemingly irregular military-style apparel, the evident hostility and MAGA partisanship, the unmarked vehicles, the lack of appropriate training. And the $50K signup bonuses for some. Overall impression: Trump's Brownshirts. Masking is the point of the spear, so your campaign is vital. Godspeed.

Woah,

It seems I can comment here. I’m an old broke bricklayer from Arlington, and just saw Mr F on local channel 4 news. That was very nice to see in these times! Plenty of coverage of charcoal lighter recommendations usually on a day like this.
