Lander is saying the most basic, correct things—“Do you have a judicial warrant? … I will let go when you show me a judicial warrant … you don’t have the authority to arrest US citizens. I am not obstructing”—and yet or maybe because of this he is detained, too.

A couple hundred are here at ICE in South Portland. The people from the No King march who drove here seemingly swelled the ranks. The marchers don’t seem to have arrived yet but tear gas is out.

This week on Live Like the World is Dying, @jamesstout.bsky.social and Miriam talk about how to stay safe with danger all around. They talk health and safety basics for protests like security culture, protective gear, first-aid kits, and dangers like projectiles, tear gas, and pepper spray.(1/2)

The correct version

“Tear gas deployed in the driveway” from our on the ground report, we don’t have any more info about it right now.

A few hundred people gathered, holding strong after tear gas deployment!

PDX!
Police violence happening now at Portland ICE building, will boost accounts on the ground as we see them. Comment with current reports if you have them!

This is quite a bad sign and it’s also a clear sign of the escalation going on in downtown LA that the LA PD and federal forces are starting to arrest members of credential media like CNN. This was something police did hear in Minneapolis and Portland as well in 2020 at the height of the fighting.

FBI arrests Milwaukee judge, alleging she interfered in immigration operation FBI Director Kash Patel said in a since-deleted post on X that the bureau believed the judge "intentionally misdirected federal agents" seeking to arrest an undocumented immigrant.

Developing now: Judge Dugan has since been released.

We are calling for a rapid community response:

Punch a bully in the nose and see what happens

Our enemies have captured the whole ass federal government, and that was only the beginning of their consolidation of power. You and the people whose politics you respect and align with the most will not be enough to counter that shit. We need to move with that understanding.

More people should pause before lashing out at folks who share their hatred of this administration and ask themselves, "Am I using this person as a punching bag because I don't know how to strike back at the people responsible for all of the kidnappings, killings, deportations, and destruction?"

We the people did it Portland City council voted to overturn the hearing officer's decision and save Forest park! We are still on watch for follow-through but big thank you to all of the fellow supporters

Ok gang, gonna be real here: in a moment where David Brooks of the New York Times and Adam Kinzinger of CNN are calling for mass civil disobedience and general strike, it's gonna get downright embarrassing if we go too long without mass civil disobedience and a general strike.

This is how you do it. Circle up and protect your neighbors, classmates, friends.

Federal agents use tactics like “door knocks” and grand jury subpoenas to target activists and surveil social movements. This training will cover how to support activists in federal investigations and grand jury proceedings.

people who try to bully others for movement-building cringe shall be bullied back three fold in return

#handsoff #50501protests

So many things none of us will perceive will come out of today's gatherings. That's the point. People find each other, they take some strength and remember they aren't actually isolated and alone. This is fortification for what's to come.

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people.

We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.
