Am honestly not convinced the reason these federal agents are unmarked isn't because they're actually just a bunch of medieval reenactors that Barr rounded up after running out of federal agents.
None of their gear matches. They're wearing t-shirts underneath everything, and either due to disorganization or laundry fails, almost none of the t-shirts are the same color. The guy who looks like he's taking it the most seriously also has a Sharpie Velcroed to his chest.
It is an undemocratic abuse of power for AG Barr to occupy DC with secret police.

And yet also I'm not so sure I want to find out what the secret is.

Read the whole thread, it's important.

Nursing homes. Jails. Cruise ships. And... meat packing plants. Covid spreads like wildfire in those conditions.

And yet you put it in a crowded pool in the Ozarks, and it doesn't seem to make a peep.
We need to learn from the tragedies unfolding at meatpacking plants worldwide.

The first lesson is it's been way too long since Upton Sinclair for us to still be tolerating these working conditions.

The second is that there's something about meatpacking plants that covid loves.
This virus isn't omnipotent. It doesn't strike wherever two or more gather. Or even where two thousand or more gather. It seems to spare entire countries from the worst of its effects. But when it finds a scenario it likes, it's nearly unstoppable short of a region-wide lockdown.

I don't know who it was that made the call in DC not to enforce Mayor Bowser's dangerous and pointless curfew for the second and third evenings that it was in place, but whoever it was may have saved lives, and absolutely saved people from serious cop-inflicted injuries.
Boswer at least finally lifted the curfews all together. De Blasio, on the other hand, is the most pathetic kind of proto-fascist – the kind who imposes a system to do things like this, and yet somehow thinks he has the standing to call Trump a fascist.
In order to be fair and balanced, I'm obliged to point out that Cuomo is also a proto-fascist.

We live in a nation where if the police bash your head in for protesting police brutality, half the commenters will talk about how you deserved it.

The police didn't get like this all by themselves. There's a huge chunk of America that actively *wants* to live in a police state.
That's a fencing response, the man suffered a traumatic brain injury.

And millions of Americans are like, well yeah obvi if you protest the police and don't obey every command they give you it'd be really unfair to the police if they faced consequences for maybe killing you.
Americans have been conditioned to think that we survive encounters with the police with their permission. And that, in any encounter with them where they feel nervous, they are to be forgiven for killing us if we weren't convincing enough in our performance of obsequiousness.
