every smug internet communist tweet about showing up to a No Kings protest with an abolish ICE shirt to scare the libs is getting completely mogged by the real-life winemoms showing up with slogans like "ICE will melt in hell"

It’s raining at the ICE facility in South Portland and agents on the roof put up a tent. It didn’t seem like ICE could still lose the crowd’s respect but it appears they did.

At the South Portland ICE facility, after pushing back the crowd to let some vehicles leave, agents gassed the street for approximately 10 minutes solid. S Bancroft was opaque with gas; agents also threw flash grenades and shot pepper bullets.

The world joined us and said, “No Kings.”

Portland Police Police estimate so far is 40,000 to 50,000 at downtown Portland No Kings today @statesnewsroom.com @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

A federal judge orders ICE & Federal agents must wear body cameras & they must be turn on. This is a good thing because it will help to identify the agents who hide their identity. The camera must be registered to the person who is wearing it. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Mike Johnson Called Us Hateful. Meet the Portland Frog. open.substack.com/pub/50501/p/...

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces. This is truly terrifying.

This is such a big move by Trump and it's not getting the attention it requires. Very, very serious.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

We packed city hall on short notice to tell them to REVOKE THE ICE PERMIT Portland has a chance to set a precedent for every other municipality in the country!

@traintripz.bsky.social psst. @50501portland.bsky.social still exists and isn't going anywhere. You've been following the group that split off in April and this is now... Splitting off again. It's hard to track 🤷‍♀️

I’m on the Morrison Bridge in Portland where thousands of protesters are marching. The bridge is completely closed to traffic, as people protest President Trump’s administration

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

The American people have risen up and they are PISSED AS HELL. #HandsOff

There is good news amidst all of the chaos. Here are the wins from the PA special elections! Dem. Dan Goughnour won for the vacant state House seat, keeping the Dem majority 102-101. Dem. James Andrew Malone's upset flipped the district and narrowed the GOP control in the State senate to 27-23.

HAPPENING NOW: Police arrested hundreds of protestors including Jewish elders, descendants of Holocaust survivors, and students, dragging them out of a sit-in at Trump Tower by their arms and legs. Jews say: Free Mahmoud, Free Palestine!

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

All joking aside, the path we're headed down is widespread civil conflict. Official corruption is generally more of an accelerant than the curtailment of rights, though they often go hand-in-hand, as we're seeing.

The ABA has put all attorneys on notice that supporting Trump's coup is a violation of their oath: "The lawyers of this country know this. It must stop. We urge every attorney to join us and insist that our government, a government of the people, follow the law." Very strong language for the ABA 🖤

Russell Vought was just confirmed. @thomaszimmer.bsky.social wrote a fantastic critical profile of him that you should read.

And there it is: Russell Vought is confirmed. I wrote a long profile of him, his worldview, his political project: He’s one of the architects of Project 2025, an avowed Christian nationalist, and a radical ideologue of the “post-constitutional” Right. He is at war with pluralistic democracy.

MAGA Feeding Frenzy Has Caused a Constitutional Crisis   The assault is coming from different angles: Project 2025. The feudal tech barons. The America First nativists. It’s not a single master plan – it’s comprehensive chaos.   New piece:
