Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Like by infiltrating, arresting, and executing them? It's the FBI. You know about COINTELPRO, right? There are tons of FBI documents talking about how they did exactly that. Or like... The drug war?
This shit is recent and still going on. I have a friend who's an organizer. The FBI comes and knocks on his door every April just to tell him they're watching him. This happens to every visible organizer in the Seattle area. I mean, fucking Durkan and Robert Child's.
The US apparatus of state violence primarily targets the left. We live under a continuous counterinsurgency program and it's mostly targeted and keeping the left from organizing. Go read Life During Wartime and watch Trouble episode 6.
There's huge and well documented paper trail. The CIA prevents democracy aborad, the FBI prevents it at home.
Who's the one that tried to get MLK Jr. to off himself due to him getting a bit too socialist? FBI? Whoever it was was probably also involved in his shooting.
That would be the FBI.
