Sending ICE Agents to intimidate voters at polling places, declaring martial law to try to delay or cancel the election, seizing ballots-As he gets more desperate, there's nothing he won't do to try to save his pathetic orange ass. ALL states should preemptively prepare to defend Democracy! 🇺🇸 ✊

The stated idea of this proposal is to make it easier to close Lafayette Square when necessary while still leaving it accessible to the public most of the time. I think that’s BS as they’re also looking to permanently fence in Pennsylvania Avenue. Restricting access to the people’s house.

Juan Proaño on the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo: The family is demanding the release of Lorenzo’s body. It has been complicated because they removed all of his personal identifying information before they put him in the ambulance. That required the hospital to admit him as a John Doe.
