Good Trouble

“Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do justly now, love mercy now, walk humbly now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.”

No one cares until shit breaks down. It’s taken for granted that things run smoothly, as if it all just magically happens. And then idiots like MAGA think any old asshole can do it.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

The revolution won’t be televised but the treason sure is

They’re here.

hey, remember when Kamala Harris warned everyone that Trump would use the military on us, and the press was all "shut up, laughing lady, prove you worked at McDonald's"? that was fun, wasn't it

Striking a chord The pitch seems to play well. After listening to Smith's spiel during a luncheon at the Rogue River Senior Citizens Center, Beverly Davis, 54, says she agrees it's high time to get tough with crimi-nais. She says her brother's house had recently been broken into. •Fifteen vears ago, we never had to lock our windows and doors. Now, you lock everything at night. You don't know who's out there." In nearly every interview he has with reporters from local newspapers and broadcast sta-tions, though, the same question keeps popping up: How are you going to pay for all those new prison beds and state troopers, Denny, especially when other areas of the budget, such as state aid to local schools, are facing cuts? Smith answers in a roundabout

fashion: We're all paying now for a lack of crime control," he tells one group of newspaper editors "I do think we will have the money to do this to straighten out the mess," he says in an interview with another newspaper *We've got crime out of control. As governor. I'm going to build these prison beds, and were going to get rid of this crime problem, he tells a Medford television station Smith at times seems exasper: ated by nettlesome questions from the newx media about the cost of his proposed crackdown on crime But he's convinced he's on the right track and thinks most people agree that society is paying the price for years of softheaded per-missiveness. At a briefing with various law enforcement officials at the Jackson County Justice Building, Smith says stronger discipline is needed in schools to turn around the growing gang problem As governor, Smith says, he would encourage local school boards to impose dress codes as a way to take away the individuality of the gang members

Oregon politician campaigns on the theme that crime is simply out of control in Portland and elsewhere in the state. One of his supporters remembers that 15 years ago it wasn't like this, everyone just kept their doors unlocked, but now the state is a hellhole. The year is 1994.

We’ve been hearing the rumors for years now.

This is literally what the actual "siege" of the auxiliary ICE building looks like

It’s his grift. Qualifications and experience are for losers - as we’ve seen at the national level.

Does Medina have a real job besides perpetual also-ran and shit stirrer?

The Commission on Statewide Law Enforcement Standards of Conduct and Discipline (LESC) is holding 4 Sub-committee meetings this week.

Stop calling them debates. He interrupted people, belittled them, and talked over them most of the time. It wasn’t a debate it was a bullying session. He did it with a smartass attitude that entertained his groupies. What he called debate is not debate.

My dream is for it to happen like it does to vampires.

When the leader kicks the bucket, the rest of them burst into flames.

What if we established a tax-exempt Church of Democracy and sued the government for infringing on our religious freedoms when it does authoritarian stuff?

Thanks for adding me to your list!

An outline of Trump under a flag with this text “AMERICA FIRST President Trump signs Executive Order to restore respect to the American flag, and prosecute those who desecrate this symbol of our freedom.”

Trump clutching the flag and kissing it.

Trump humping the flag like it’s a 14 year old girl seems like desecration to me.

By what metric did he get his ass handed to him? Are we giving points for belligerent lying now?

OMG I didn’t even realize it was over something like this. Those people need to get a life. 💜

This happens. We all make mistakes. There’s so much noise out there, coming so fast. I’m not blocking people for this unless they double down on it. You’ve done the honorable thing here.

I just rewatched this again last night. Such a perfect movie for these times.

I think this is a fantastic article to show people as a soft intro to "maybe cops aren't all they're cracked up to be"
