The nazis were always so nice to ME...

I don't know that's true, but that social practices are built to mask that people are assholes. You have to generally interact longer for it become apparent.

Didn't their published guidebook say this was the plan from the beginning?

Ah, we have reached the forced politeness stage of development.

Europeans voting for extremes must understand this. They’ll start with ones you might not like: muslims, homosexuals etc.

But as Amen in the church even light destillations of fascism will continue with journalism, courts and eventually physically threaten any kind of opposition. Even you.

Two weeks ago the PBO came out with the Economic and Fiscal update and release the graph on the left. What happens if you set the axis to 0 (as one should) and how it is historical context. That is the graph on the right (reproducing only the dark blue line because that is the numbers they gave).

Yeah, pretty much.

Because like what they are doing or not (i do not), they are counted as federal law enforcement, receive the same protections, and if this was the Chicago debacle wasn't even ice.

I’m. So. Tired.

I don’t just want you to pay attention to Chicago because I want you to understand our plight. I want you to see how hard people are fighting and know wtf you’re made of. We’re not just fighting for this place. This is for all of us.

I suspect a reason to target Portland is the assumption that they can control the rest of Oregon anyway.

Think the frog suits a good idea.

Norms and practices will be changed as this continues. Thats what authoritarians do.

Lot has to happen between now and that.

Pretty sure youtube tries to kill successful channels to reduce payout. They want a churn of cheap crap .

Republicans post fake image of Oregon protest – using photos of South America A federal judge had blocked Trump’s request to deploy California national guard to Portland

The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest — but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Baxter v. Bracey - Challenge to Qualified Immunity Doctrine, Which Shields Officials from Accountability When They Violate the Constitution - ACLU of DC In early 2014, Alexander Baxter was bitten by a police dog that was unleashed on him while he was sitting with his hands in the air, having surrendered to police.

Congrats.

A settlement from the government is not against an agent.

The agents themselves have immunity, and that still has to go through a federal court.

Law enforcement are allowed to assault or shoot us, we are not allowed to react.

Why does it matter?

So the last case I saw that disqualified an officer, he knifed a guy while off duty.

Breaking into the wrong house and killing a person was not sufficient, and I honestly dont know of a single successful case against a federal agent.

Oh hun.

And yes, it's a bullshit circle of rules. That's kinda the point. The law is going to rule, the vast majority of this, as legal. And the rest, who is going to enforce?

Which is exactly what qualified immunity says you cannot do.

Lol, is this like quasi legal law bot? Law enforcement has qualified immunity. They are federal law enforcement. To sue them individually, you would need the federal court to grant that. Guess what's not going to happen? This was likely their tactical teams for the entire country, not randos.

Whose.

You do know a lot of police can falsely register property to conceal it from being targeted? Legally. In addition to having qualified immunity for doing anything deemed part of their job. And having to take that through federal court. And it still being against the agency not the agent.

Its fairly high effort with very little return. Some jurisdictions use it oppressively to generate revenue, but more progressive departments tend to focus on serious crime.

State courts couldnt do this, and while some federal courts might, it would be appealed. Even the egregious cases are appealed. Oh and their jurisdiction is to stop and search pretty much anyone 100miles to border. I suspect in this case they got some sort of permission from the building owner too.

Law is always argued. Chicago is within border patrols jurisdiction, and were acting under the order of the (district attorney?). While ridiculous, excessive, and repressive, I expect a federal court would uphold that they were acting within their authority.
