Portland isn’t “war ravaged”. Chicago doesn’t need “saving”. Tylenol doesn’t cause autism. People still care about the Epstein files. Escalators breaking down is not news worthy or an emergency. Medbeds are not the answer. Keep resisting fascism. Ignore the distractions. Fight back.

I wonder how many people fully appreciate that Trump just falsely declared the blue state of Oregon to be in a state of Rebellion against the United States so he could deploy active-duty military from the Department of War to kill American citizens Meanwhile, he *pardoned* the January 6 terrorists

The last time Trump sent Feds to Portland; I was an emergency dispatcher for the city/county. It radicalized me; what I was seeing/hearing/dispatching didn’t match the narrative. Proud Boys/Patriot Prayer were the REAL issue. Abolish ICE. Oh, and there’s this: gizmodo.com/donald-trump...

There is absolutely zero need for this costly show of militarized force in Portland. 📌 Armored vehicles with federal agents arrived at the federal building in Portland.

He didn’t end 7 wars or win 2024 by a landslide. There is no war in Portland. Tariffs don’t build strong economies. Vaccines save lives. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. Crime is not skyrocketing. Facts are not partisan. The only thing unhinged is his grip on reality and the danger is real.

Alex Acosta remains defiant defending his decision not to prosecute Epstein. He “essentially said he didn’t have faith in the victims, their stories and their ability to tell their own story and their own testimony, which is deeply disturbing to all of us sitting in there,” said Rep. Maxwell Frost.

We saw picture after picture of NatGuard and Marine vehicles. DHS did that ridiculous horse-and-tank raid on a ... soccer field. All of which was in a really small pocket of the giant sprawl that is LA. But it looked total and intense, bc they didn't film the hundreds of non-invaded sq miles.

You can see the ICE agents in their minivans then the LAPD cars in the back appearing to block the Dodger Stadium parking lot entrance. When I asked an LAPD officer if they are blocking ICE from entering the parking lot she said “put it this way. The Dodgers don’t want them coming in.”

The history of Nazis holding rallies in left-wing areas of Weimar Germany, instigating street fights, and then telling the press that only they could save Germany from the "violent communists" seems like an important thing for people to be studying right now.

Eisenhower was generally opposed to military parades, believing they could make the U.S. appear weak and were unnecessary displays of power. He preferred to focus on the costs of military spending and the importance of peace over showmanship.

Every time an authoritarian con-artist is held accountable, every time the mask slips in a courtroom, the spell weakens. It takes pressure. It takes a public that doesn't flinch when the volume gets turned up. It takes faith - not in the perfection of institutions, but in their potential.
