for no reason, will sexually assault Women and men both.

Putin and McConnell are doing this in hopes we patriots will respond appropriately, which is HARD presence in the streets, but if we do that they will use it as an excuse to postpone election.

Then the democracy is gone, forever.

remember Abu Ghraib? And, that wasn't an isolated incident. There are hundreds of pictures and videos of American soldiers raping women in war torn countries.

These hired goons are even worse.

The woman (Ms. Kristianson) was pulled out of the line of Moms while backing up and in the street. The street is not federal property. What kind of authority do these "DHS Police" have on state/municipal property? Also these DHS thugs were the ones doing the assault, not Ms Kristianson.

That's what Frank Figlusi was talking bout last night. The judge said the state didn't have standing but a beat up protester would. The family of the young man shot in the face should too. In fact, everyone who was assaulted by these fuckers has standing and should pelt them with charges.

Carry a small Magic Marker (if you can). While they're busy molesting you, run the marker across their forehead. Report them to the national TV systems asking for news item for anyone seeing someone with a Magic Marker line on their forehead be identified to Nancy Pelosi.

I was going to say "authorities" but that's kind of a nebulous construct today. Pelosi is more likely to get the name.

Damn, I hope that live stream was recorded.

Edit: wow, it was. They link to it in the article. I watched it, and I couldn't tell, though. (For my mental health, I can watch it only once.)

The rainbow tutu was how I picked her out. We see her being yanked away from another mom with whom she had linked arms, and hustled away from the sidewalk to the wall of the building, where a couple of the goons did whatever they did with her.

I had to watch twice to catch it and appreciate your self-care decision not to traumatize yourself watching again.
