People in Portland are gathered outside an ICE facility with donuts on fishing poles and are dangling them over the cops heads. And there is this little drummer boy energy happening over there. Respect

Horrifying— Barbara Gomes Marques went with her US citizen husband and lawyer on 9/16 to a green card appointment at USCIS office in downtown LA where she was tricked into walking down a hallway away from them, was snatched by ICE and never came back. She now faces imminent deportation in Louisiana.

"If you have body cameras, turn them off."

we need evidence of two things: first, that trump can distinguish fantasy from reality and second, that trump is actually president

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

Clearly, Portland is war ravaged. The pollen from those flowers may cause allergies in some people. ICE should carry some Claritin.

The alleged shooter in Michigan. Weird that Vance and Patel haven’t tweeted out this info. 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽 www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Us: “We want cheaper food” Them: “Tariffs!” Us: “We want healthcare” Then: “Gold ballrooms!” Us: “abolish ICE” Them: “Six figure signing bonuses to new ICE agents” Us: “We want affordable housing” Them: “A UFC ring on the White House lawn” It’s almost farcical except it’s costing real lives

But hey we can’t forget: left-wing violence is on the rise!

Trump’s deployment of troops to Portland is a dangerous escalation of authoritarianism. Now is the time to find our own ways of standing up and fighting back to preserve our democracy. Fellow vets: we need you to muster. And those serving: you can refuse an unlawful order as you may receive it.

I still think it’s backwards that every mass shooter owning an AR-15 is considered a right while their victims’ healthcare is considered a privilege.

Little Free Anti-ICE Libraries: yesterday multiple people were abducted by ICE in my Chicago neighborhood (Avondale). This morning I added 40 ICE alert whistles to three different LFLs, including one box that is about a block from one of the kidnappings. I have ordered 700 whistles.

Portland ICE Facility: Federal agents made a violent arrest dragging a protester all the way across the driveway. They also deployed pepper balls on the crowd. It’s currently unclear why this person was arrested.

As a resident of #Portland it is impossible to capture how unhinged this is. We are a low crime city and the ICE protest "siege" consists of one auxiliary ICE office that normally has at most a dozen weirdos debating what performance art they should use to block a single driveway

Duck you, Trump.

Five years ago, @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social and I did a story about rural Oregon's fever dream that Antifa was coming to their town from Portland. Hundreds showed up armed downtown because they heard on Facebook that "Antifa buses" were coming. No buses came so they said Antifa "retreated."

“‘I need to go to medical.’ Nope, you look good to me,” the agent said, mimicking a conversation with a person detained. “They’re, they’re animals anyway. That’s what I would tell my kids all the time,” said the agent, who said he worked in the “intelligence unit.””

Recently I learned that civil servants have the First Amendment-protected right to speak out on matters of public concern. Thurgood Marshall, in an 8-1 SCOTUS decision, noted that government employees know how the gov’t works, and the public has a special interest in hearing from them.

Trump is ordering US soldiers to occupy my “war-ravaged” hometown of Portland, “authorizing them to use full force” against “antifa” (ie, anyone he doesn’t like) to stop “political violence.” As I explain here, the whole thing is premised on fascist myths. www.bostonreview.net/articles/wha...

Portland is working hard to educate our neighbors!

Lawmakers are raising concerns about the lack of due process and transparency at the South Portland ICE facility.

When American fascist Gerald LK Smith, the leader of the "America First" party, gave his 1946 speech in Viroqua, he devoted most of his time to decrying how "communists" had taken over American universities and were brainwashing students there.

I hear the President has decreed that it is possibly a crime to refer to Americans as "fascists," but "fascism" is a word that has a relatively clear meaning that's worth understanding. Here's how an official publication of the US Army defined "fascism" in 1945.

Literally the authoritarian playbook: 1. Call your opponents terrorists. 2. Deploy state power against them. There's nothing subtle or confusing or complex about what's happening. The *outcome* is uncertain but the authoritarianism is right out in the open.

Does January 6th, 2021 count as only one attack?

People seem determined to remember Charlie Kirk as a devout Christian. This includes mainstream and liberal descriptions of him and not just MAGA hagiography. But look, the things he said about people were in direct contravention of Christ’s teachings. It’s deeply perverted to suggest otherwise.

the Tesla board wants to give this guy a trillion dollars

Remember that new study? Yeah we been knowing. 96% of BLM protests were peaceful; same for 99% of the pro-Palestine protests… And while I saw lots of reports on the study, I can’t say the same for the bigger news: That Trump scraped the study from all government websites — like it never existed!

Shoutout to my fellow maskers!

Your reminder that they cannot arrest millions of people no matter how hard they try. They lack the infrastructure, they lack the personnel, and the economy would straight-up collapse They are going to try to scare us by making examples out of a few people, and our job is to not fall for it

Just try to watch this without getting upset. Impossible. This is pure tyranny.

🧑‍🌾 JUST NOW: Trump gaslights struggling farmers getting crushed by his trade war, blames Biden

I mean yes, I hear you, but I also think it's because lonely men sure seem willing to make it everyone's problem with tragic consequences: at schools, at churches, at supermarkets ...

More than a dozen immigrants to the U.S. who were first deported to Ghana have since been sent back to their home countries despite their high risk of torture or persecution. Legal experts say the process is part of the Trump administration's attempt "to evade court orders."

The security risks created by DOGE, according to this Senate report, had my jaw on the floor when I read them. Some we already knew, but the new details here are astounding.
