Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows

The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

Video of officers abusing their power and hurting people can really matter. Video is a big part of why the police killing of George Floyd was the BLM case that provoked the biggest public reaction.
When people see violent abuse, they’re forced to confront it more. Not seeing makes it easier to deny.

Welcome to our new era of merit

Trump just ordered his secret police to arrest anyone who burns the flag and imprison them for a year. Stephen Miller just issued new threats to arrest leftists.

Every time the fascism escalates, the logic should be that Dem resistance stiffens, as Sen Chris Murphy says in our pod discussion:

This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

The administration has determined that if you describe this accurately for what it is, you are also an enemy of the state

When I was a child going to Hebrew school & Jewish summer camps in the 70s, poll results like this would have been inconceivable.

Israel has forfeited what it once had, & as older generations (including mine) die off, the trend will only continue.

Done ✅

If you like yelling about misuse of the passive voice, THIS IS IT.

Jesus Christ. DHS has held this guy in the hospital handcuffed to a bed and under constant guard for over a MONTH without ANY warrant or even ANY steps taken towards putting him into the removal system!

what an embarrassing time to be alive

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

It's comical that Republicans are trying to pin the shutdown on Democrats. Republicans hold the White House, both chambers of Congress, and the Supreme Court. They possess all levers of governmental power, and they're trying to blame the other side? Gimme a fucking break.

i just can’t get over ICE going into the streets of the city i live in, throwing gas at citizens, invading people who live here. this is state sponsored terrorism being enacted on americans

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Diary of Anne Frank
January 13, 1943

At some point a governor has to mobilize the national guard against participation in Trump's ICE raids & disappearances; SCOTUS will grant Trump the win but calling the question on the state of the exception means contesting his authority anyway. We don't have a constitution while Trump can do this

It’s obscene.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

I asked a Christian baker to write Charlie Kirk on a gay wedding cake and we've been staring at each other for 39 straight hours now

Trump acting like a fascist, quoting Hitler, and being racist.

The world: Trump is a racist fascist.

MAGA: How dare you call our Daddy a racist fascist! Go back to where you came from! Also we're going to get you fired and cancelled and investigate you as a terrorist!

Only a Billionaire Could Look at Network TV News and Say: We Need More Bari Weiss Billionaire David Ellison installed conservative ideologue Bari Weiss atop CBS News, dropping any pretense of independence at the network.

Since David Ellison bought Paramount in July, the news division has made multiple moves to align its ideological mission with that of its new principal owner.

What a dark day for press freedom in the United States

This is absolutely Brownshirt business.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

In undercover interview, Project 2025 architect gets candid on the initiative’s radical goals and connections to Trump In an undercover interview with reporters from the British non-profit organization Centre for Climate Reporting, Project 2025 architect and MAGA ally Russ Vought admitted to the project's strong ties ...

When you recall that political reporters ran interference for Trump over his "opposition" to Project 2025, remember that even AT THAT TIME there was a hidden camera interview with Vought where he said that was bullshit and he didn't mean it. www.mediamatters.org/russ-vought/...

These people want any excuse available to abuse women.

They took these US citizens naked and put them in zip ties and threw them in a van.
