This was my PA speaker. Someone said play music. And I'm like fuck yes. And for the first hour it was Bad Bunny.
I'm a 55 yo straight white dude. Tonight I got to be a Latin DJ and it was the best night ever.

That wins. That's the new best thing I've ever seen out there.

If you don't vote in the general election YOU are the problem. You're not teaching the DNC a lesson, you're passively enabling ALL OF THIS.

What ya want? Him to fist fight ICE? Hmm

ICE didn't like me telling them to stop being monsters so they gifted me a rubber bullet. I promised I would be back, and even louder. I'm here to advocate for my entire community #ernurse #ICE #stopi... TikTok video by Vincent1970

I’m sorry for the long post but a lot of you have followed me for a long time, since 2016 when I was one of the first to repeatedly call out Trump for being a Russian asset.

I don’t know how else to say this, as a person who has studied cults (wrote a bestseller about it) and totalitarian states.

They shot me in the face and I almost lost an eye. I promised I would be back. Here I am.
Sometimes we have to do what's scary if we want to make the world better.

The new 1600watt PA system to replace my 50 watt mega phone. ICE needs to hear what I've got to say

You're welcome. We all have our lane. I seem to have some capacity for extemporaneous sermon type speeches. So I think I find my lane.

Just returned your message.

The ICE raids are not just a civil rights issue, but a human rights issue. The model for how to secure those rights is an American model. May the spirits of the great civil rights leaders guide us now. One cannot say they respect them while ignoring the lessons they gave us.

They hadn't declared an illegal assembly nor directed people to leave the area. Unarmed and speaking through a bullhorn to ICE to find their humanity. No one was near. I was targeted. this is an example that the content of a peaceful man's speech can be more powerful than any rock or fire bomb.

KGW talked to me. And I'll probably be talking to more media later today. That's me.

Just let me know where and we will have a beer!

This is how we teach civics in my house. We don't recite pledges to flags. We talk about responsibility. We love our neighbors, and we live our convictions. Even if it might hurt.
Father's day with my daughter the day after.

I will keep at least some vision in that eye. Thanks to the polycarbonate eyeglass lens. Most of the force went into the bone around the socket. The plastic lens cut the crap out of my eye brow but that will heal.
Being a nurse means advocating for everyone in the community. They won't quiet me.

They just gave me a bigger audience for my message. OHSU is a trauma ER. They took good care of me. Happy fathers day!

Vincent took a less lethal to the eye. He’s says he’s an ER nurse. Protesters call him an ambulance.

How we teach civics in our house. I'm proud this Father's day. My kids, with the strength of their mother, and the conviction of their parents, will do their best to make our country kind. To make that flag a beacon of hope to all people.

I'm keeping the eye. My eye glass lens saved the eye. I was targeted. No one was near me. And my bullhorn was on full blast. I think this is an example that the content of a peaceful man's speech can be more powerful than any rock or fire bomb.

Kept the eye. The more I think of it, the more I feel I was targeted because of my previous protests.

Kept the eye!

I'm lucky that I didn't lose my eye. I couldn't have been less a threat than anyone.
