Republicans post fake image of Oregon protest – using photos of South America A federal judge had blocked Trump’s request to deploy California national guard to Portland

The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest — but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

#acfc I love this for Sugita. I hope she plays the entire game.

Endo, Sugita and Miyabi combining is wholesome

Here’s the CBS News report about ICE making bogus 911 calls and filing false police reports in Chicago.

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

Terrible tragedy. Poor families. May justice be served.

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE
Truth: No cars rammed ICE

Claim: She boxed ICE in
Truth: ICE boxed her in

Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE
Truth: She did not have a rifle

Claim: ICE returned fire
Truth: Only ICE fired

Claim: She drove herself to the hospital
Truth: Paramedics found her

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

This gentleman said that there has NEVER been a time in history when the good guys were zip-tying children.

And he is not wrong.

The ICE agents who did this should be outed and prosecuted as terrorists.

Happy World Teacher Day! Today, we honor the incredible educators who nurture young minds and shape their future.

They show up every day for our kids, so we must show up for them. That means fighting for fair pay, safe schools, and the resources every classroom needs to thrive.

Fundamentals & joy for the game!!! Bay FC feels disconnected. After playing Barça last yr, they looked more cohesive—simple and precise. Hire two experienced midfielders. Cut the turnovers, take the open shots, be direct inside the box, score in set pieces, and play with purpose and passion. #BayFC

An orange and white teenage cat with orange eyes, sitting in the corner of a metal crate.

I know this is a waste of time, but of anyone in the Bay Area can take on a cat, this ~5 month boy I trapped for TNR turned out to be way friendlier than I thought and also has a limp that does not pain him but can't be easily fixed.

Grim reaper opening doors for Chicago Stars, Bay FC, and who might be next?

Who’s next? #NWSL

Still waiting for it to trickle down...

Every journalist should have the following response prepared for every time they speak with Premier Danielle Smith:

“With respect, Premier, that did not answer my question. What you provided was a justification aligned with your predetermined position, not a direct response."

The image is an X post by user Joshua Reed Eakle from 20 hours ago, stating: "The end of due process for immigrants is the end of due process for citizens. Few understand this." The post includes a profile picture and a verified badge.

I understand this. Please tell me you do, too.

Same judge. While Miller rails about judges.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

👀👀👀👀👀👀 What’s the story?

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

There is hope, I’m crying.

“…Then all the men on earth
surrounded him; the corpse looked at them sadly,
sat up slowly,
embraced the first man, and began to walk.”
