I love everything bagels, but babka should be the top of the scale!

"In Portland, they're eating the quinces, the people who came in. They're eating the fuyu persimmons. They're eating--they're eating the produce of the people who live there."

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

AMERICA HAS A DRUG ISSUE

LET'S START WITH THESE 4

Seems to me that ICE goons are especially targeting children and babies; Court cases haven't gone Trump's evil way re Birthright Citizenship, so they are terrorizing families, including US citizens, into self-deporting. Cruel and evil!

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason. Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

"[A]gents engulfed my car in tear gas, smashed my driver-side window, and pepper-sprayed my face.... I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. No explanation. No charges. No apology. One day, I was just told, 'you’re free to go.'" #KavanaughStop

Portland traffic cameras at this exact minute.

Nothing is burning.

Men. Impersonating ICE.

To assault women

NO MORE MASKED ICE!!!

The fact they jumped straight to AI actors modeled after women when, if I’m not mistaken, male actors are a higher labor cost kind of says it all doesn’t it,

White House official inadvertently reveals plans to send elite army unit to Portland Anthony Salisbury displayed chat about deployment of 82nd airborne division on cellphone while in Minnesota

Oh look, another White House Signal scandal.

This time it was an aide to Stephen Miller who was using Signal so openly in a public space that a bystander captured images of the chat.

Oh and the messages were about sending the *82nd Airborne* into Portland.

This is assault.

Federal agents knock down elderly couple during Portland protest An 84-year-old said she sustained a concussion and was hit with a projectile after she and her husband, a Vietnam vet, were knocked down by federal officers.

An 84-year-old said she sustained a concussion and was hit with a projectile after she and her husband, a Vietnam vet, were knocked down by federal officers.

this is the full video. So to summarize, this CBP officer has been identified but I think if I share his identity I get gulag'd bsky.app/profile/lord...

A known CBP officer chokes a young man who said mean things to him.

A post on IG that identifies the CBP officer who choked and assaulted the young man. It states "The Department of Homeland Security recently sent Meta a Subpoena demanding to identify @stopicenet , @longbeachrapidresponse , and other instagram accounts who reported on Simeon last month. The subpoena referenced a “criminal investigation” noting “officer safety / doxxing.” A federal court has since issued a temporary order blocking the Subpoena from DHS. This is certainly not the first time we have seen ICE / Border Patrol agents violently attack people for exercising their First Amendment rights. These attacks are part of a larger pattern of intimidation designed to “punish” anyone who speaks out against the unconstitutional and reckless raids currently occupying and terrorizing our communities. It is your LEGAL RIGHT to observe, record and document any law enforcement activity in plainly visible spaces. We will continue exercising our First Amendment rights in the interest of free speech, legal transparency and public reporting. Stay aware, stay alert, be vigilant. 
Report ICE activity directly from your phone at WWW.STOPICE.NET / @stopicenet 
Text “JOIN” to 877-322-2299 to get local alerts
Text “REPORT” to send an alert Text “RADAR” w/ zipcode to check ICE activity nearby"

Activists in L.A. identified this CBP officer earlier this yr. Today, he choked, body slammed and detained a young man in Chicago. What's particularly fashy about this moment is that CBP officers get to commit crimes w/ impunity and people who tell you their identities are charged with felonies.

The problem with Patel's statement is not his crude (and poorly defined) language; the problem is that the FBI Director is demanding obedience to illegal orders.

There are cops who go years without unholstering their weapon on duty. The faster someone reaches for their gun, the bigger the coward they are. These ICE fuckers cling to them like a baby’s pacifier.

How exactly is this different from Kristallnacht?

Full. Yesterday, I bought a steel camping griddle at the thrift store. I made buckwheat-banana pancakes with strawberry (I hate the word compote), potatoes, sausage. My Muse called for fried eggs. Very. Full. Maybe nap?

Screenshot of Igor in Young Frankenstein, lifting glass cover from a plate holding JD’s head, labeled, “DO NOT USE THIS BRAIN! —ABNORMAL—

also, in keeping with Vance’s view of american identity, only white people are fully American with the right to critique or dissent. nonwhites must show proper gratitude (supporting Trump or marrying JD Vance) before they can speak critically of the country (in approved ways, of course)

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.

They spent millions, swarmed an entire building, terrorized and abused an entire community in the middle of the night, traumatized men, women, and children and ended up with “two suspected gang members”?

The FBI is weighing an arrest and perp walk for Comey — and suspended an agent for refusing to help, sources say The FBI is considering carrying out a "showy" arrest and perp walk of the agency's now-indicted ex-Director James Comey, sources tell CBS News.

“The source told CBS News that [Kash Patel and Dan Bongino] asked for "large, beefy" agents to conduct an arrest of Comey "in full kit," including Kevlar vests and exterior wear emblazoned with the FBI logo.” The leadership of the FBI is now in the hands of infantile psychopaths.

Authoritarian personality cult. Plain as day.
