I am a constituent 3rd CD, 18th LD @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov @gluesenkampperez.house.gov I am asking all of you to demand an investigation; if the person so violently arrested & detained is a #Citizen this is a clear violation of their Civil Rights.

A US citizen & human rights defender identified as Rachel S. was abducted & beaten by ICE Trump regime forces in LA, then transported to the hospital and then a detention center, local rights defenders demand an investigation. She is heard screaming: "Let me go! I am an American! I was born here!"

Veteran prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald is coming out of retirement to defend James Comey www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

They're going to try to overturn Obergefell and end marriage equality. Eyes wide open, folks. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

What would the reaction be if Democratic politicians went on TV every week to talk about how scary and dangerous Louisiana was, or how bleak and depressing life in rural Mississippi is, or how Oklahoma ranks last in education and “God, can you imagine being from there?”

Maybe it's tylenolitis.

The Governor Newsom Press Account is beyond good.

Maybe guns should be harder to get, and mental health treatment should be easier to get, in today's America. Kind of the opposite of what the Trump administration and the Republican Party want.

So the alarming part about this isn't publicizing medbeds, which I doubt Trump personally even knows about. The bad part is he doesn't want — or even need — to adhere to reality anymore. He needs his base ready to go to war for him, maybe literally. He is in the endtimes prophecy business now.

Not new or even current, but STILL RELEVANT and funny (from a Linguistic perspective)

Trump’s threat to deploy military troops into Oregon is unwanted, unlawful, and a direct threat to communities across the state. People from across Oregon and across the political spectrum are joining together to speak out in defense of their homes, their rights, and their freedoms. No #WarZonePDX

Tomorrow. Sunday. 3pm at Battleship Memorial, Downtown Portland We stand together. United. Peaceful and Determined. Oregonians from all walks of life coming together in a peaceful demonstration to send a clear message: NO MILITARY TAKEOVER OF PORTLAND. www.mobilize.us/oepindivisib...

That said, the fundamental dilemma facing the public intellectual that he and TNC identify is in many ways intractable. Politics is the art of the possible and almost always involves a choice between lesser evils that leave us all tarnished. But political analysis need not be.

Sherman didn't go far enough

Trump’s attempt to use the FCC to silence his critics in the media is one of the most unpopular things he has done in office, including among Republicans

Trump’s Business Partners Allegedly Involved In Human Trafficking, Mafia Matters, Probable Money Laundering.. www.forbes.com/sites/danale...

But the left needs to tone down the rhetoric?

Until today, I was following this account. @lisamikolajczyk.bsky.social This person is unwilling to read the links to the info it is DEMANDING I produce. If you follow them? Maybe reconsider. Me? I'm muting them now. Start reading here bsky.app/profile/lisa...

This is an absolutely extraordinary, revelatory quote. Why is the NBC affiliate in Portland the only place reporting it? www.kgw.com/article/news...

Let’s also not forget that 5 years ago, Trump’s regime was kidnapping innocent people off Portland’s streets. The Biden admin settled the resulting ACLU lawsuit. This is Trump’s Portland stop on his revenge tour.

War-ravaged Portland

The Posse Comitatus Act bars federal troops from participating in civilian law enforcement except when expressly authorized by law. This nearly 150-year-old law embodies an American tradition that sees military interference in civilian affairs as a threat to both democracy and personal liberty.

Stay the FUCK out of Portland. Swear in newly elected Rep. Adelita Grijalva and RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

Instead of the next judicial education session, all the judges watch this tiktok instead.

#Pinks #ProudBlue Kids do see color. But if taught that color is bad when it’s different than yours, that’s when prejudice starts. We are all just people. Diversity is what makes us unique.

79. American citizen.

I still have a couple of hours before my flight boards, so for the next hour or so I will answer questions, what would you ask of me in this liminal time, I am an open book full of answers both trivial and weighty (also if you don't want your feed entirely full of me, mute me for an hour or so)

Oregon AG Rayfield: I know for a fact, from talking to cities across Oregon, that if you pick up the phone and ask, “What could be helpful?” the answer would not be the United States military.

This is an important background to the policy fight, but abysmal messaging (and it ignores the messaging GOPers appear to have settled on). The GOP is claiming that Dems are shutting down govt to give health insurance to "illegal aliens" [sic].

“We owe them. We owe their parents. We owe their families.” President Biden ❤️ True leadership is caring for those who served and their families 🇺🇸

“Show us your warrant!” “Ma’am, you’ve been watching too many movies. We’ll show you the warrant after we’re done.” 🤔 *busts in the door with babies crying*

There is absolutely zero need for this costly show of militarized force in Portland. 📌 Armored vehicles with federal agents arrived at the federal building in Portland.

Shouldn't Schumer and Jeffries tell Trump: Sorry, can't make it to the White House to chat tomorrow! You say a major city is so 'war-ravaged' as to require deploying federal troops authorized to use 'Full Force' against U.S. citizens. So we feel a responsibility to head to Portland to take a look.

3/5 - 593 Shahed and Gerbera strike UAVs and other types of drones - 2 Banderol jet UAVs - 2 Kh-47M2 "Kinzhal" aeroballistic missiles 38 Kh-101 cruise missiles - 8 Kalibr cruise missiles The main target of the strike was the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv.

So Orange Julius authorized lethal force via tweet over a dozen sign wavers in Portland after calling for war over a stopped escalator? Give that demented fuck a fidget spinner, some crayons, and a pretend Nobel Peace Prize to play with before he accidentally nukes an ally.

The meritocracy and the media that normalizes it.

From Ken Burns' “The 2025 Battle of Portland” 🎶Sweet Betsy From Pike🎶 “Dearest Prunella: As I write to you, a silent war rages in Portland. ANTIFA is the sneakiest foe of any war. Being invisible, they are difficult to find. Please pray for me as I enjoy my delicious coffee. Your Loving Husband”

@unraveledpress.com literally got me being shot — I'm crouched behind the van holding the back of my head where I'd already been hit. Then it pans to the right where the ICE is pointing right at us. I get hit in the face & you see the man who was with me rush past as he takes me to the medic

So, to recap today's #Lynx news following what took place in Game 3: - Cheryl Reeve fined and suspended one game - Napheesa Collier ruled out in Game 4 with an ankle injury - Assistant Coach Eric Thibault fined - Assistant Coach Rebekkah Brunson fined #WNBAPlayoffs

Do me a favor. 25th amendment. Today.
