Portland City Council member

This is tear gassing protesters just for protesting. There is no threat, and the only danger presented is ICE behaving recklessly. There is no provocation; this is just straight up assault.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

Steven Pinker wrote a legal analysis of a *child sex crimes law* as a favor to Epstein and then had the gall to say he had no idea what the guy was accused of. All of the “hey what’s the big deal here” pageantry is insulting

“Haven’t we all met terrible people” yeah sure but we haven’t associated with them for years after finding out how terrible they were and then lied about it until the DOJ releases a stack of PDFs.

The problem with applying this logic to Epstein associates is that vanishingly few have come forward before their names show up in these document dumps. Epstein has been an issue of public concern for a decade! Where is the public reckoning among elites for their entanglement with this asshole

The autopsy showed Mary Kennedy, then going through a messy divorce with estranged husband RFK Jr., had her fingers between her neck and the noose, as if having second thoughts. A former NYC Medical Examiner said: “I have investigated many, many suicides by hanging and I’ve never seen that.” 2/2

Here’s Epstein after being told he has “permission to kill” an unidentified man: “whoops” Epstein after being told Mary Kennedy was found dead in her backyard: “whoops” Follow along this short thread… 1/

completely out of control, leave DHS entirely defunded until this agency is dismantled

if you’re tear gassing little kids you lose your job, you get arrested, tried, and jailed simply no other option in a civilized society, these goons must face consequences

This is corruption on a breathtaking level. Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, an Abu Dhabi royal nicknamed the "spy sheikh", pumped $187mn into Trump family businesses. A WSJ team has the whole story, reported here for the first time. Remember: Jimmy Carter had to sell his peanut farm.

Federal paramilitaries running up on the rooftops to fire irritants and flash bangs down into a peaceable assembly full of little kids

I was there. They were indiscriminately firing multiple canisters into a huge peaceful crowd. Fucking cowards

A little girl in Portland, OR after being tear gassed by ICE. what the actual fuck.

/2 Jeffrey Epstein had a greater ability to continue to rape children and facilitate their rape because he was not treated as a pariah. It allowed him to continue to move in elite circles. It gave him contacts and support. It gave him access to people who wanted to be provided with children to rape.

Jeffrey Epstein did not stop raping children after his 2008 conviction. Jeffrey Epstein did not stop facilitating the rape of children after his 2008 conviction. He kept doing it. That is the context of people treating him as a normal person after his conviction. /1 www.cnn.com/2020/01/15/u...

Those liberal white women... In 2012, Rush Limbaugh called Sandra Fluke a slut for 3 days on his radio show. I became the spokesperson for Rock The Slut Vote because the War on Women is real. It's held up by fascist women, and it's still happening.

She's ... 5'10. Dude, that's not "so tall for a woman."

In the latest part of its Epstein files rollout, the Justice Department released a long list of sexual abuse allegations against Donald Trump. Then it temporarily retracted it. trib.al/aMXhGwQ

Judge Fred Biery orders release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Ramos & his father, Adrián Alexander Conejo Arias: “Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency.”

So this came up in my FB reels - an ad from the Department of Housing and Urban Development showing this white dickhead dancing after getting the keys to a new house, presumably after a family was dragged out of it by ICE. Fucked up shit right here. Especially the emojis at the bottom.

This is the director of the Melania movie photographed in "good company"... #AllRoadsLeadToEpstein

Here's a thread that you should all read, even though it will make you want to punch a wall

Venn diagram of had friendly email correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein and argued that wokeness is a dire threat to civilization that must be stopped before it finishes destroying freedom.

We're going to need the kind of mutual aid that Minnesotans have been demonstrating everywhere: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Thank the Big Beautiful Bill. New federal work requirements for SNAP begin this week, stripping long-standing exemptions for veterans, foster youth, and some parents. An even greater hunger crisis looms.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept." Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

It should not take a court order to get a toddler out of a prison.

They had Epstein dead to rights. Nearly 3 dozen victims. He shouldve been in jail for life. They gave him a sweetheart deal that allowed him to keep raping girls while hopping in and out for prison for 13 months.. www.thedailybeast.com/how-the-fbi-...

Turns out if it acts like a Nazi and dresses like a Nazi and talks like a Nazi it’s probably a a raging antisemite.

Unmarked car, no lights or police insignia. Masked armed men leap out. Victim not in the act of committing any crime. This is not how a serious federal law enforcement agency acts in a free society. How is this not supposed to be a “right wing paramilitary force loyal to the regime”?

I can’t get over how increasingly desperate and worried district judges are — they are doing all the right things — and how they’re being betrayed by appellate judges and a Supreme Court, both too cowardly to stand behind their decisions.

What part of the govt would be part of this 6-bill shutdown? -Defense -Labor-HHS-Education -Transportation-HUD -State & Foreign Ops -Financial Services & General Govt -DHS But, importantly, many of these operations continue either w/ or w/out pay during the shutdown. ICE and CBP continue w/ pay.

“Unless the House descends into chaos” possibility is increasing Traditionally Rules was filled w/ supporters of the Speaker, but the crazies demanded they have enough members on Rules to tank stuff in exchange for backing Johnson (& McCarthy) as Speaker We stay in a 6-bill shutdown if this fails

NEWS: Judge Biery has ordered the release of 5-year-old Liam Ramos. A thunderous rebuke against ICE’s violent campaign in Minnesota. Read the order below. Link: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

giant fucking embarrassing loser

this stuff was always exactly what it looked like

This was four years after Epstein had pleaded guilty to (and sentenced to incarceration for) solicitation of prostitution with a minor.

Demond Wilson, who starred alongside Redd Foxx and answered to “Hey, Dummy” for six seasons on the wildly popular 1970s NBC sitcom Sanford and Son, has died. He was 79.

Again, when Bari Weiss said she wanted to do "the fucking news" she apparently meant something different than what we initially assumed

Looking at the list of 19 new CBS News commentators, the median number of times they appear in the searchable Epstein database is 2 and the mean is 100

It’s entirely legal to record LE officers from your car. So they’re brazenly, illegally terrorizing this woman for exercising her constitutional rights. Yet we know that none of these officers be held accountable. We know this administration encourages this behavior. This is police state stuff.

Full rights and citizenship actually means they’re not a “foreign labor class.” And that’s what he’s angry about. He’s mad citizenship is universal rather than restricted to white people like before the civil war bsky.app/profile/gbbr...

Vegas bar industry people, please send tips to @marisakabas.bsky.social. I'm both a journalist and work at a bar, I know both industries and can vouch for Marisa, talk to her about this. What was he drinking? Did he tip? etc

I wonder if the New York Times will go after any of the prominent academics in the Epstein files for being rapists as hard as they went after Claudine Gay for being kind of sloppy with citations in her graduate thesis. If not, why not?
