Regardless of whether they support fascism or not is irrelevant frankly. Itโ€™s still shameful either way and itโ€™s extremely important to constantly call out that what the media is doing is not OK.

I donโ€™t believe Speaker Mike Johnson is a straight male. For that matter, Iโ€™ve never believed Trump is, either. That is all.

Nope it doesnโ€™t sound like she was at all.

Border Patrol called anti-ICE protester โ€˜B****โ€™ before shooting her: lawyer Lawyer says video shows agents provoked clash before firing, fueling scrutiny of federal use of deadly force.

#Pinks #ProudBlue
ICE agent called woman โ€œbitchโ€ before he shot her seven times. She was not brandishing a weapon as they claimed. Why wonโ€™t they release his name? Donโ€™t let them provoke you. Record everything you can safely.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

Sen. PADILLA: This Justice Department fired a 15-year career prosecutor who put away sex traffickers and transnational terrorists. She was marched out of her office. Why? Because she had the audacity to remind Border Patrol that it should follow court orders.

This is actually really smart because it makes the whole thing look ridiculous.

They clearly aren't threats and it makes the whole occupation just appear absurd and overreactive.

Portland! When the going gets weird, the weird get going! To Portland! These dance parties are like the hippy movement.
Abbie Hoffman and the Yipees performing an exorcism of the Pentagon. Fight back and have a laff at the same time. And it drives straight people nuts! Have fun kids!

I absolutely adore that TrumpMiller called in the feds so Portland called for more inflatable creatures.

I hope there's a whole puffy menagerie by this weekend!

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.

The shutdown isnโ€™t just about healthcare - itโ€™s also about Congress reining in the president. Weโ€™re going to have a fight, so letโ€™s have it now.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of โ€ฆ complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, theyโ€™re sniping priests for sport.
