Far right assholes harassing children

A group of far right assholes have showed up to protest at David Douglas high school after students allegedly pushed back at a formation of a turning point chapter. School is out & they are outnumbered by predominantly Black & Brown students roasting the fuck out of them.

Screenshot of a Facebook post featuring three of the Portland protesters wearing inflatable frog costumes with the following text: Episcopalians on Facebook Elizabeth Rose Elrod • 22h • Exodus 8:2-6 "But if you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs... The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your officials."

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

Mike Johnson Doesn't Hold Back as He Slams No Kings Rally: 'We Call It The Hate America Rally' House Speaker Mike Johnson mockingly dubbed the upcoming "No Kings" protests as the "Hate America Rally," saying the crowd will be littered with a bunch of communists and Hamas-lovers

Because real Americans love kings? Gods the Republicans can barely contain their love for fascist authoritarianism, even when they have to work to show it.

Young Republicans group chat.

Like no, the scientists aren’t smart enough to stop him, but this guy with a high school education, loose morals, a growling voice, and only the loosest idea of long-term implications to one’s actions can get the job done.

Is the trope of the genius super villain who can plan out every single detail and is smarter than everyone else but is still taken down by the grit and do whatever it takes attitude of the hero an authoritarian storytelling device?

Consider a career as an anti-DEI spokesperson. Never worry about facts again. In fact, if you can double down in the face of facts by becoming even more belligerent, you might even be able to parlay your career as a professional dipshit into regular tv appearances. Call now for more information.”

“Are you an angry adult who wasn’t told no as a child? Do you feel personally attacked any time someone points out that being born into wealth is an advantage? Are you the least competent member of any group you are part of but also get uncontrollably angry when anyone points that out?

Anti-DEI hiring is just DEI for insufferable conservatives who never learned enough social skills to keep their terribleness on the inside.

It says a lot about the right-wing outrage machine’s inner workings that they assume anyone protesting against them must be paid to be there. #projection

Gotta love conservative media running stories like “‘Portland is a hellhole! declares Eastern Oregon resident who hasn’t visited city in 20 years but is upset because liberal voters kept discriminatory measure from becoming law.”

Data Hoarder Uses AI to Create Searchable Database of Epstein Files The open source project has been mirrored as a torrent file and represents one of the easiest ways to navigate a messy data dump.

A data hoarder set up a searchable archive of the Epstein docs released by the House Oversight Committee. Used OCR and a self-hosted AI to analyze and categorize them.

Actually useful bc the docs were released as disorganized jpeg files in a giant Google Drive

Not to be outdone, in came Jack Posobiec, one of the right’s weirdest hangers-on, who is perhaps most famous for the time he spread the “Pizzagate” theory and then got removed from the pizzeria in question by police for filming a child’s birthday party. Running with the major theme of the hour — that Antifa is definitely, certainly, really real despite all evidence to the contrary, and that everybody needs to stop saying it’s not real — Posobiec made a startling claim: Antifa is so clearly real that it “has been going on for almost 100 years ... going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany.” And look, yes, it is absolutely true that there were anti-fascist protesters in the Weimar Republic. If you’ll remember, those were the people taking issue with the early versions of the Nazis. But it’s sort of difficult to position yourself as the good guys if you’re aligning yourself with the Nazis in your historical analogy. I’m just saying that, if I was Posobiec’s publicity guy, I might ask him to drop that soundbite from future public appearances.

I complained earlier that WaPo's story on Trump inviting PizzaGate guy to the White House was insane. Not so this Independent story.

A screenshot of C-Span showing Jack Posobiec speaking during a panel on "Antifa."

Jack Posobiec explicitly says that "Antifa" dates back to the Weimar Republic, explicitly acknowledging that this administration is opposed to those who resisted the arrival of Adolf Hitler in Power.

She's Canadian, you wouldn't know her.

“”One of the individuals we arrested recently in Portland was the girlfriend of one of the founders of Antifa,” Noem said.”

She also explained they had captured the boyfriend of the leader of one of the gyms responsible for training the shock troops of antifa, known as the “pocket monsters”.

“I’ve tasted spicier. I’m Mexican, what do you expect?”

The Portland frog is up there in the pantheon of epic Portland heroes.

To be clear, DHS Sec. Kristi Noem will fly into PDX Airport, drive from PDX Airport to check into some swank hotel in our beautiful city with an amazing view, drive through our beautiful neighborhoods, eat at our restaurants, and then lie on national TV about our city, while seeing ALL of this! 👇🏾

Listen, we're tired of comparing everything to Hitler too. Unfortunately people today have a Perry the Platypus understanding of history. When they see shit happening they think "Ah a normal government policy" until you put a little mustache and swastika on it and they go "A Nazi government policy!"

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

Don’t be surprised. The Oregon GOP hates how much Portland stands in their way of turning Oregon back to what it was (and if you know, you know).

Deluded old man in position of power argues about reality because he saw something on the tv.

But but but he saw it on the teeeeeveeeee!!!

Hours after a federal judge paused the Trump administration’s plans to deploy 200 members of the Oregon National Guard to Portland, federal law enforcement officers escalated the tactics used on protesters in the city.

Troy and I were on the ground:

Basically what I’m saying is if the leadership of Portland wants to make Portland what it was, invest in low cost housing in the city itself so the people who keep it running can afford to live where they work. There may be less fancy restaurants but there will be a healthy downtown.

Unfortunately too many people who run the businesses & government in the city seem to believe that a city’s purpose is to attract tourists. Which, historically, is a flawed approach because when you pander to outsiders for tourism bucks, you end up destroying the natural ecosystem of the city.

As much as people who don’t live in cities want to pretend otherwise, cities do not exist purely as a place for small towners and suburbanites to work in and sometimes play in before they screw off back to where they came from.

Arrest of conservative influencer Nick Sortor outside Portland ICE building now under federal investigation | CNN A conservative influencer who this week posted videos of clashes outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Portland, Oregon, has been released without bond after he was arrested late...

Boy this Sortor twerp is gonna be peeved when he realizes he was arrested for getting in a brawl with two people twice his age as opposed to “being targeted for his work” because no one involved knows who the fuck he is.

if you’re a visual learner i made you some maps of where the people quoted in this article as supporting portland being occupied by troops live

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.

When a right wing influencer gets arrested at a protest and claims to have been assaulted, my first question is “did they throw the first punch?” Because in the right wing mind, a person “standing up to a conservative” = “assault” & “self-defense” = “violent assault”.

The conservative influencer who got hit in the face at the ICE facility was part of notorious and obnoxious doxxer Andy NGO’s little propaganda network. Let’s just say her story might be a little difficult to take at face value.
