"support and defend the Constitution of the US against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC" - - that oath has no expiration
This is a perfect example of an effective influence campaign. After a meeting with Putin, where Putin questioned the legitimacy of mail-in ballots, Trump launches a campaign to end mail-in. I don’t think many people understand how easy it is to puppeteer Trump.
Say what you will about Gavin Newsom, but he’s a fighter, whether that’s against Trump, trans children, or his own constituents with nowhere to live.
This meme expresses the hopelessness that government workers feel. We are enemies of the people, according to our own bosses. Violence against us is tacitly (or explicitly) sanctioned.
Black-majority places, and public health workers, in particular.
Trump has made no comment. The White House has found the time to post a video of the arrest of that guy who threw a sandwich at a cop, but nothing about a cop killed defending the government's own employees.
Marjorie Taylor Greene, whose district includes parts of Atlanta, has also said nothing.
But a white guy with a COVID conspiracy manifesto isn’t news at this point. After all, that’s who runs the government now!
The CDC is a part of Health & Human Services, headed by RFK Jr., whose conspiracy-addled ideology is indistinguishable from the motivations of this terrorist.
“In RFK Jr.’s America, it will never be safe to practice public health or medicine," write an epidemiologist and a former CDC staffer.
Is there any proof that these men were “federal agents”?
The video labels them that but the post notes they were masked and unidentified.
Looks like an attempted carjacking, not anything resembling an arrest.
They ask for badges and the guy silently puts on black gloves?
Video shows the family fleeing after masked and unidentified men attempted to detain them and firing three gun shots at the passenger side door behind where the son was sitting.

Clearing encampments and throwing people in jail does NOTHING to actually get Americans off the streets.
Homelessness is not a personal failure, it’s a policy failure. Congress must pass my Housing Not Handcuffs Act with @frost.house.gov.
"The deterrence logic doesn’t hold": A recent analysis finds that encampments bans and other local ordinances aimed at unhoused populations don't actually lead to decreased homelessness.
We had actual an actual assassination of a Democratic legislator in Minnesota two months ago & it’s completely disappeared from the National Conversation™️. This happens
It is so wild to me that we had a terrorist attack on the CDC and it just blended into the rest of the political violence.
Talk by regime allies in the legislature of a third term scarcely 7 months into the second is an attempt to normalize & ease us by repetition into the idea of a lifetime dictatorship under Trump
If you’re under any illusions about what an authoritarian personality cult the GOP has become, they’re not hiding it:
