I have a "small " problem with Trump's goons guarding federal property

I have a "small" problem with Trump's goons guarding federal property. That is pushing the proverbial envelope. I have a huge problem with Trump's goons driving around cities in unmarked cars "disappearing", i.e. kidnapping people. That is fascism.

As Benjamin Franklin said: Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

They aren't standing outside federal buildings guarding them.

They are roaming the fn streets in unmarked vehicles snatching people, beating otherwise peaceful protesters and tear gassing others in full riot gear and BDUs.

that it can use domestically as it sees fit with essentially zero oversight.

The department of homeland security was an enormous mistake in its inception. It was rammed through as part of the enabling acts for domestic fascism after 9.11. It needs to be abolished.

But driving around town in unmarked cars kidnapping people is something that should make all citizens appalled.
