Fascism 101: Setting up Pretextual Intimidation 'Checkpoints' Pretense? Near a bar, or a children's hospital? Stop every driver, or just the brown/black ones? 1A/4A/14A/5A violations? Agencies? Balaclavas? License/registration, or social media/cycle tracker/tattoos? Detain only or shoot to kill?

Is this anywhere near the Veterans sit in? If it is then they are preventing other veterans from joining the sit in.

Nope.

It’s official: We now live in a military state where civil and constitutional rights no longer matter. Remember how this went down in Germany 90 years ago?

Unfortunately, they're not much of a mystery...

Which specific agencies were they?

Checkpoint for what?

🤷🏼‍♀️

For out-of-towners, that roblox bdg is children's national medical center, lotsa desperate families there already, these people are vile

What do they actually do at the checkpoint? Like, are they looking for specific plates that they have from a list or are they checking every driver's ID passing through? In the vid it seems like they're just standing around.

Vibes.

"ACAB includes vibes checks" is not where i thought reality was going, and yet here we are

lol…that’s what I thought.

The most dangerous thing a Brown person can do is drive a car.

Governors need to force police to not co-operate with facism; their natural inclination is to side with authoritarians. Never trust cops; look how they are helping thugs

A dopey looking rag tag bunch of thugs. Appalled that so many African Americans are willing and seemingly happily taking part in this illegal farce. The white ones? Meh. To be expected. The US is full of white bigots eager to do this shit. You can see it in their eyes in this clip.

For what, all of this theater is stupid and a waste of time. There is no emergency

I do wonder how voters far from urban environments are interpreting this. There are regions of DC that can be dangerous. Just from what I’ve seen there are national guard members patrolling subway stations at business centers that never face crime, a naked waste of taxpayer dollars

Notice how they're all staring at the camera? Green troops always gang up on a shiny object without watching their flanks

IYKYK

I thought random checkpoints were unlawful, but never mind.

Now, republicans are trying to bankrupt Michigan by killing property taxes. Koch did this in his state of Kansas and bankrupted the state so he knows this will work. Koch is bankrolling republicans in Michigan: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uqhz...
