I keep going back to this because it shocks the hell out of me. This is not far from me. This happened in Cincinnati during the Good Trouble protests on Thursday.
Police beat the ever loving crap out of protesters as well as media/

When an officer began repeatedly punching one sidewalk protester, it turned into chaos. Even the most unexpected began fighting back. A woman in this clip is seen kicking towards an officer after coming to intervene in the violence upon one of the others.

Moments before police became violent, the crowd warned each other that the police were arresting journalists and to get off the bridge road if you didn’t want to also be arrested. Some remained, but many did move. Police still attacked those that cleared away as well as those never blocking.

The journalists have also been charged with felonies.

While some protesters had obstructed the bridge, police also attacked those that were lawfully on the public sidewalks. Over a dozen were arrested, including two journalists. With some facing felony charges. /

Shocking and unacceptable. ICE is out of control.

When a civilised nation realises that its premier is totally bonkers, there is usually a process to follow to protect its interests

I think congress should pass a law making it illegal for a law enforcement officer to cover his face. WHAT DO YOU THINK?? 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

"Let me exercise my role as G7 chair" -- Carney steps in to stop Trump from taking more questions

Imagine if the headline were, "Trump refuses to show most basic decency" or "Trump continues to ratchet up tensions in wake of assassination" rather than "we hang on Trump's every word."

Trump’s FAA pick has claimed ‘commercial’ pilot license he doesn’t have Bryan Bedford, the nominee to head the Federal Aviation Administration, for years erroneously stated in his Republic Airways bio that he is a pilot with a “commercial” rating.

sounds about right.

Walz: "This cannot be the norm. It cannot be the way that we deal with our political differences. Now is the time for us to recommit to the core values of this country ... Talk to a neighbor rather than arguing. Debate an issue. Shake hands. Find common ground. This is who Melissa Hortman was."

Brad has been released and the crowd breaks into a chant of “Free them all.”

I’m very sad that the orange clown fails us daily.

Trump insisted that his administration would target only violent criminals but his increasingly cruel immigration crackdown shows that couldn't be further from the truth.

Senate Republicans seek tougher Medicaid cuts and lower SALT deduction in Trump's big bill Senate Republicans are proposing deeper Medicaid cuts, including new work requirements for parents of teens, as a way to offset the costs of making President Donald Trump’s tax breaks more permanent.

In order to maximize tax breaks to billionaires in their budget bill, Republicans are trying to cut deeper and deeper into health care and other vital benefits.

Trump in 2011: "Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He's weak and he's ineffective..."

This video aged well because it reminds us that Trump has always done Nazi 101 and accused his opponents of what he actually does.

While we were distracted by the horror of senator Alex Padilla being physically accosted by the noems rabid dogs.

We missed what noem had to say.

Time to start saying “Masked men purported to be ICE agents” until ICE shows identifying information when detaining people.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles
