    The fuck is the DEA doing arresting people for things that have nothing to so with drugs? Don’t you have, like, drug stuff to enforce? What about all the fentanyl?

      Didn’t you hear? A journalist covering a protest in a church is actually committing a heinous act of terrorism against a religious establishment.

      A federal grand jury seated in Minnesota returned the indictment on Thursday against Lemon and eight co-defendants. The indictment charges Lemon with conspiracy against the rights of religious freedom at a place of worship and injuring, intimidating, and interfering with the exercise of right of religious freedom at a place of worship.

      Lemon, 59, and three of the co-defendants — Trahern Jeen Crews, Georgia Fort and Jamael Lydell Lundy — were arrested Friday in what Attorney General Pam Bondi described in a post on X as a “coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota.”

      This was my exact question.

      It seems that any federal agent is now free to do whatever the fascist freaks in the White House want.

      Feels like it’s probably the first agency that said yes to the regime. If there was a case here it would clearly be a FBI matter, with no masks, but since FBI has a higher strain of professionalism, the fascism is taking longer to fully take hold.

      So you want them to start themselves, the Coast Guard members, police, and politicians? I can support this.
