    For anyone who didn’t click through: federal marshals fired wildly at a car that they stopped because the driver failed the us-foreign-policy check, striking the driver and also one of their own as the bullets they were firing wildly in a populated area bounced off the metal that they were shooting at like fucking dipshits.

      Happens when the U.S. cops are trained by the IOF.

      Remember that time that pig accidentally shot that other pig and blamed it on the black guy they had handcuffed on the ground and they both just unloaded into his back?

      One of the best recorded instances of pig-murder. Very telling that it’s been covered so little that I can’t remember any keywords for the specific instance. I sure as shit remember the pics and videos though.

      Land of the free. Home of the brave.

    news like this scares me because I feel like we’re one event away from a Trump reichstag fire that will lead to fucking chaos as the Trump admin is both bloodthirsty and incompetent. Im imagining the Troubles that happened where I live now in Ireland but a million times worse with all the guns and mental illness and people having NOTHING to lose.

    This country is fucked.

    ICE boosts weapons spending 700%

    New spending in the small arms category from January 20, 2025, the day Trump was inaugurated, through October 18, totaled $71,515,762. Most of the spending was on guns and armor, but there have also been significant purchases of chemical weapons and “guided missile warheads and explosive components.”
