With y’all in Texas*
Thank you!! Yeah def not my favorite platform / much more active on mastodon for multiple reasons. I appreciate you though! And solidarity with Texas always 🖤
It’s so annoying here I never see what I wanna see.
But at many points even the judge seems to not be having it. We’ll see. We’ll be posting another update soon and hoping the best for the defendants
The IDF just ordered the *entirety of south Lebanon* to be forcibly displaced.
They are emptying the land of its population, creating a massive crisis, and will now proceed to further annihilate large parts of Lebanon.
The very nation state of Lebanon is being destroyed.

to talk abt election fucking integrity
The MAGA vigilante doing the pepper spraying here is Brian Colin Veach (Tinkerton), a man with a long domestic violence rap sheet. By my count he sprayed at least four people yesterday, none of whom were a threat.
See next post for more on Brian
So wild especially considering these are folks focused on goddamn petitions
She and Rene should go and have a pity party about how scary it is when people talk to them in public about issues they don't like
This case was the first time the government filed terrorism charges against “Antifa."
“I should have the option to shoot at people who yell at me to do my job”
In an interview with OPB, Councilor Smith said about the protesters:
“They are getting more aggressive… they yelled at me ‘Do your job Councilor Smith.’"
In the days following the protest, Smith drafted an ordinance that would allow councilors to openly carry firearms while conducting city business, framing the move as a defensive measure and deterrent against confrontation.
Councilor Loretta Smith later described the protest on social media as a “mini insurrection,” claiming a protester jumped the testifying table and screamed in her face. Video footage and witness accounts from the meeting appear to contradict that characterization.
Videos circulating online & witness testimony all support her account of what had transpired.
The protester said she believed she was moving during a break in proceedings & remained peaceful when she went through the public testimony table & stood in front of the council, holding up the petition. She says security then placed her in a chokehold and pushed her toward the council dais.
New - A Portland activist delivered a petition with 19,000+ signatures demanding the city revoke the ICE permit. The city had her arrested. Days later, a councilor proposed allowing council members to openly carry firearms while conducting city business.
This is longer, but we did our best to condense the information and make it as digestible as possible. We will continue watching as this unfolds and provide updates and analysis. Trial is expected to resume on February 24
This marks the first time the government has filed terrorism charges against “Antifa." Legal experts are raising alarms over prosecutors’ theory — arguing defendants, including some who were not even at the demonstration, are part of an organized criminal “Antifa cell” and broader conspiracy.
New - The Prairieland 19 trial collapsed on day one in federal court, spotlighting how politically charged protest cases are handled. The case previews aggressive prosecution tactics, the implications it has beyond the courtroom, and what to watch as it moves forward.
gonna be delusional and pretend it is me I love Marisa’s work 😅
"If adopted elsewhere, the project’s model could make immigration enforcement funding streams more visible and more politically contested across the country.
According to Melt Oregon’s website, the project is meant to be both local and replicable nationwide..."
Just awful. People (like Ryan mentioned in the article, who is living out of his van) have been staying awake all night for weeks keeping watch over the memorial for this exact reason.

New- A new website exposes Oregon businesses who have official government contracts with ICE and CBP
One day after harassing a teenage anti-ICE walkout in Emunclaw, WA, Daniel Vrosh aka "Danny Rebel" & his pals drove to Coos Bay, OR to protest an annual all-ages LGBTQ event that included a drag show.
Danny & others tried to infiltrate. But they were trespassed. 1/

This incident at an anti-ICE student walkout in Emunclaw WA was provoked by MAGA vigilante Danny Rebel, a grown-ass man who taunted teenagers before getting punched.
Embarrassing that Emunclaw PD says it was unprovoked. Danny has a history of aggressively trying to agitate the left for content.
