This is a master class in how it’s done. Respect.✊

In case there ever comes a time when this is all over that you are inclined to offer grace to ICE workers suffering the consequences of their decisions, remember situations like this. And zip tying children. And ripping people from their homes and cars. And worse.

I used to think the whole thing about learning history lest we be forced to repeat it was entirely unnecessary after learning about the horrors of Nazi Germany, but clearly I lacked enough imagination. Since we are repeating it, at least we can review their play book. It’s all there.

Yes. I expect things will continue to escalate significantly. Prepare physically with needed supplies and weapons and psychologically for things to get extremely ugly before the tide finally turns toward good. It is awful, but it is where we are. And remember are still many more of us.

I respect her so much. She needs to be protected and undoubtedly knows and is taking to do so. As things escalate, it will get more frightening to resist, but we have much more people and there is power in numbers. Thank you Senator Ortiz.

😂🤣😂 It’s funny because it is so pathetic and Portland won’t play into his hands. Expect instigators. Don’t give them fuel, just peaceful resistance. He’ll go onto the next city if he doesn’t get the violent footage he wants. And then the people of that city or cities will do the right thing.

Of course they do, if you believe in facts. We should always present the facts even while knowing his supporters have never cared about facts, at least not yet. If we keep shining a light on actual facts, those who do peel off of the cult will hopefully find them and it will fortify their decision.

I agree. That and so many other things he did should have been dealbreakers.

I have faith that the people of Portland will remain peaceful and not give him the videos of violent protesters that he so desperately wants. Portland, you’ve got this. Just understand the game that is being played and remain peaceful at all costs.

Holy hell. As a physician, this is unfathomable and deserves severe sanctions up to an including fines, loss of her license to practice dentistry and immense social shaming. These people have lost all sense of humanity. When this is over, they will only have each other to interact. I’m not forgiving

Absolutely.

This will continue to escalate. It’s nauseating, but our reality. Keep filming. Keep showing up. Keep up the social pressure. The blip in momentum for their side is already fading. They can only milk it for so much. Most of us abhor stories like this and will do everything to make this stop.

That is exactly what they did. At least it is completely out in the open now, because it’s not like it hasn’t been happening for a long time. Another thing we have to definitively address when this mess is over. It’s shockingly awful but at least now completely undeniable for apologists.

💪

We are and have been on our own when it comes to our health and safety. This has been true to a lesser degree for a while, but I fear we have become complacent about food safety monitoring since that is one area that was relatively. We are in new and dangerous times in more ways than one.

👏👏👏

Holy hell. This has to stop. I am relieved that the vehicle occupants were ok and got themselves to safety AND that they made a police report.

He gets it. We get it. As soon as a few more people get it, restoring sanity and humanity should be easy work. There are so many more people horrified by this than support. It’s time for some impoliteness very bad manners.

Yikes. Although not unexpected, it is extremely disturbing, especially since we know this is only the beginning. I do trust soldiers to not follow illegal orders, but holy crap, this is getting scary. They want us exhausted and distracted. We know how to stay focused.

I hadn’t seen that angle either. It’s super blatant. Filming and posting is essential, but I’d love to hear from experts on the best actions to take if we come upon this. Every instinct I have would have me physically trying to protect the person being punched on the ground.

Is it just me or does it seem like this is one of many obviously off things that have been ignored for a long time? I expect an avalanche of truth when he and his ilk lose their grip which may be starting. At least he seems more panicked than usual and that seems like a very good sign.

I don’t hate this. Actions have consequences. We are their consequences. They, their family, friends and their contacts should repeatedly be made aware how cruel and destructive and deeply hated their actions are. The face coverings are a dead giveaway that they aren’t proud of what they are doing.

Can we do it today? Please. Of course they will suffer the consequences they deserve, but lives are being destroyed by the minute. We really do need a sense of urgency.

I am shedding zero tears for this loser and even fewer for his buddies sticking it out to pay off student loans. Keep shaming them. If their weak moral justification was to capture criminals, it should be more than obvious that they are now the criminals.

Absolutely. And the idiots taking jobs with ICE or otherwise supporting this horrific cruelty will be appropriately marked for life for their choices. And they are definitely choices. See how things worked out for nazis, and many of them were compelled to serve. These people are choosing it.

Exactly. I don’t know why this isn’t talked about more.

This is a community I know well and they aren’t having it. It’s inspiring and instructional. I ❤️ Carp.

They absolutely intend to do this and worse. But we are many and we are mad. There is no way in hell we will allow this to happen, right?

We need many more leaders like him. Thank you.

Works for me. Business decisions have consequences. Social and financial pressures are our best weapons right now. There may come a time where it isn’t enough, but there is no reason not to shame and hopefully destroy companies that don’t share our sense of basic human compassion.

Love it.

Definitely true. And terrifying. And a major motivator to fight like hell now no matter how much we want this cruelty and insanity to go away.

Good to know. It should also happen on Apple Maps. The ICE Block app is a good idea too. Fighting back can look many different ways, but making life difficult for masked thugs is one of the more enjoyable ways.

Absolutely.

She gets it and I agree.

Exactly. Stay focused.

Yeah, this is not good. Crap.

I completely agree. We all knew something dramatic was going to happen since things were not going well for them here. It was so predictable and will not make them any more popular, but now we are all in dramatically increased danger. This isn’t 2001. We aren’t going to unify this time.

South Korea definitely did it right.

Coming soon to a city near. Let’s use LA as a role model for all of us to resist even louder when they try to intimidate us.

There will be a reckoning and it can’t come fast enough.

I didn’t think I would ever need to think about buying a tear gas defused, but here we are.

My partner and I are absolutely serious and mobile. I appreciate the planning and we will be wherever we need to be. I think there are more like us. We just lack the organized part so far. I appreciate what you are doing. It is that serious.

This is sadly also likely true. I hate it, but there is a decent chance it will come to this. I don’t know exactly what it will look like, but the organize part seems important, but how and where? I have hope the National Guard will not follow illegal orders, but we need to prepare for anything.

True for now.

Of course they did, but the more people who see the truth, the harder it is to spin it in their favor. Plus, their horrific actions will likely wake up even more people. They make up facts and are going to declare martial law anyway. I think decency will prevail, but we’ll have to fight for it first

Yes.

Good.

Choices will have to be made soon by each of us trying to protect our country and sense of humanity. It feels like things will be escalating quickly. Communication may become difficult. Know there are way more of us than there are of them. We will not have more power to stop this than we do now.
