I think 98% of the country (VERY MUCH INCLUDING ME) does not want war or anything like war. It is the 2% that I am most worried about. And the 2% doesn't need to vote for war with anything but their guns.

My statement is simply this: they're using deadly force on unarmed, peaceful civilians. At some point they're going to kill someone on camera, and I do not know that we can control what will happen after that.

One of the best to ever wear Timbers green and gold.

Y'all knew this was coming, right?

I should mention that I'm taking pitches. Please look at NewsOne.com to get a sense of what we publish and hit me up! [email protected]

This is the state secret police committing acts of public humiliation and torture. Americans don’t have a language for this in the public consciousness but that is what this is with no exaggeration or embellishment.

Not sure what it's called but I'm fairly certain I was the poster child. Those last few years in the Bay Area were brutal...

In Jay's case, I don't think she can. I don't think a good steward of this community and organization can afford to continue a precedent of bending rules to accommodate hatemongers. I get that she wants to train us to use the protocol in a way that aligns with her vision, but that is not her job.

When you are a leader, though, most of your job boils down to listening, patience, and adaptability. You have to hear where everyone else is at, you have to be real about it, and you have to help marshal them with some degree of patience and grace.

No joke, wearing goofy outfits may be the most effective way to undermine State propaganda. Let’s see Kristi Noem release a glossy homage to our brave ICE officers kicking the shit out of Spongebob or whatever.

if jesse singal “hasn’t violated the terms of use,” but the goofy autistic space law nerd with the bad food opinions has, maybe your terms of service are bad.

Anyone who may ever need assistance from FEMA should read this. That's basically most of us.

Video taken one hour ago outside the Portland ICE facility of the violent insurrectionists in question

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

So @opb.org finds some residents of distant rural areas (Burns!), almost all over 60, dont like homeless people in Portland -- an issue the federal troop deployment isn't intended to address. How about ask some 18-29 year olds at PSU about logging and mining in towns 250 miles away?

This from @govpritzker.illinois.gov on @cnn.com

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

happy sunday, remember that you are completely expendable to your employer and that when you die they will forget you ever existed within weeks and easily replace you

Desire and jealousy are map and compass. Ignore them and you're lost.

Look, I've been watching hockey for 56 years. I feel like coaches need to face sanctions here as well. (Yes, I know it's preseason...but if you're a coach you should have better control over the behavior of the players.)

In My Author Era I've been a writer nearly all of my life (at least as long as I could hold a crayon/pencil/pen in my hand). But now I can call myself an author. I have written an essay that will appear in the upcoming anthology for The Power Within. I've known and worked with Nicole for about a…

sorry if the eugenics issue that is getting your goat right now is not *gestures wildly at pile of ableist anti-vax bullshit* and is instead that you think the billionaire's pet toy should be treated like a "real person," your judgment is sus.

For every horrific act of fascist abuse you’ve seen video of in recent months, there are hundreds that you’ll never even hear about.

News today that ICE shot a woman is chilling. The videos online show that there are some abusive, masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement. Nobody deserves this. The courts need to step in.

MANAKAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! (But also, can we talk about that through ball from Riley Jackson? Because HOLY SHITBALLS!)

Motion granted. Guard blocked from activation in Portland. Story to come @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

Clancy is watching NCFC at Detroit and is displeased by the score.

Don't "should all over yourself." Don't waste time regretting what's in your past or thinking you should be further ahead than where you're at. Take what's useful from past experience and use it to build a solid foundation for your future.

Oh, hi! OG GenX'er here. This is pure, uncut bullshit. If you're lucky enough to have a career in alignment with your passion, that's awesome, but the scales should ALWAYS lean toward LIFE.

Fucking devastating and infuriating seeing all these videos and reading all these stories out of Chicago right now. If what you're doing is so unseemly, so unamerican and so unpopular that you have to wear a mask to conceal your identity while doing it, then maybe you should be rethinking your life.

This raises energy costs for everyone and has devastating effects on those who can least afford higher power bills. Also, I encourage you to give Mississippi Free Press a follow. It's an independent, non-profit woman and minority-owned news organization.

LOL the only place my cats escort me (every time I stand up) is to the pantry to get them something to eat.

Bex needs us, friends. Anything helps.

Your gentle reminder that Rep. Melissa Hortman was assassinated on June 14 and hardly anyone bothered to talk about it.

so much fucked up about this Remember, Trump, as his conversation with Gov Kotek revealed, had no idea what's going on in Portland, fed 5 year old videos Hegseth, Miller and the rest of the fascists know the reality about Portland and wanted to send the 82nd Airborne anyway. They are monsters

Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

I’m usually the one scream meowing tbh.

If she values feedback, then she should return the fines the league collected.

You know what would protect more against tyranny? Not having highly militarized law enforcement in this country in the first place.

Absolutely brilliant.

Reading this thing I wrote 13 years ago and boy is it relevant to bsky. powazek.com/posts/3250

In memoriam...

This is both bad and indicative of ICEs deeply fascist tendencies and also, I dont think 30 whole ppl is probably gonna cover it for "surveil social media 24/7."
