i wonder whether it's accidental or an intentional provocation that DHS agents of all sorts seem to be going around exclusively in brown shirts. they're also tan and camo, but there's almost always quite a bit of brown. as if they're intentionally daring the public to go ahead and call them national-socialists.

You have a great point, and I challenge anyone to look at a photo of Greg Bovino and his particular choices of clothing and not come to a similar conclusion. In addition to those visuals, I'd say if you continually refer to citizens exercising their First Amendment rights as "antifa" and "paid protestors," as Trump and the Righties routinely actually do, you've basically conceded that you are, in point of fact, a fascist.

As for the repeated accusations of citizens being "paid protestors," it's my understanding that Mr. Pretti was an Intensive Care Unit nurse at the Minneapolis VA Health Care System... so then, I can report for a fact that Mr. Pretti actually received his pay from the United States Department of Defense and not the namby-pamby Department of Homeland Security like the homicidal idiots who definitely did not follow longstanding protocol of CBP when they shot and killed him... but not before they removed his gun that he never "brandished" as gaslighted by the cosplaying head of DHS a.k.a. Botox Barbie a.k.a. Kowgirl Kristi.

So, to recap: Federal employees have killed a federal employee... all paid by the Trump administration (of course, with our taxpayers' dollars).

ICE agents training used to last 16 weeks and on paper looked to be fairly comprehensive. But effective in January 2026 training has been shortened to exactly 47 days. Not 46 or 48 but exactly 47 days.
