Without trivializing these actions, are we seeing an attempt to create violence because today's protests didn't provide the required VT for "violent antifa protest"?

Just arrived on the scene at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in South Portland. Here less than 10 minutes when agents charged out of the facility and used a pale yellow gas that caused tears and coughing in crowd members. Also shot munitions at those retreating.

Office of Mayor Michelle Wu 吳弭 @mayorwu.boston.gov · 17h

In America’s first public park, where Bostonians came together 400 years ago to protect a common space for the common good, we told the Trump Administration that when it comes to freedom and our families, Boston doesn’t back down. #NoKings

Mayor Michelle Wu stands on stage at the No Kings rally with a large crowd stretching across the Common.

Mayor Wu speaks from the podium with a "This is what democracy looks like" banner in front of her and the American flag behind.

There's a reason they say "in the US 100 years is a long time and in Europe 100 miles is a long way." When i think about it, both of these things are pretty key to how we organize.

Like his, my experience is mostly meaningless, but I was seeing and blocking porn and only fans profiles on that other site daily. In 18 months I have never once seen porn here, not so much as a nip slip.

Somewhere around 2004 the Young Republicans (with help from donors) at my University tried to get a Michael Moore appearance canceled. When they failed, they drove back and forth around the venue in the back of pick up trucks yelling slurs at the attendees. They've always been this way.

NBC in my town is Sinclair owned, so even the local news is squeezed out by breathless propaganda like this.

Imagine being led by the nose by Eric Trump, of all people, to do something this stupid.

He has never been able to talk about women without commenting on their looks. All men fall into strong or weak, and all women are hot or ugly; variations on that theme are all he has and he literally does not know what words to use instead.

"No Kings is happening, and this is how Republicans are talking about it.

Accusations like 'terrorist wing,' 'pro-Hamas,' and 'Antifa' aren’t just insults. They’re phrases that unlock, in the view of the administration, a permission structure for state violence."

Trump’s Guilt-By-Association Law Enforcement

The groundwork has been laid to go after innocent people, opposition groups, and even No Kings protesters.

This is why I have no empathy for MAGA voters. It doesn't pass any logical test; millions of people are all keeping the same secret, many more millions of dollars are moving around but zero evidence. If you can't figure out that's a lie, the thinking people get to call you whatever name they want.

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.

The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

Just yesterday I was telling my Grands about how we were robbed of some great food and culture in Northern Nevada and California when the klan and the government showed up to push out the Chinese laborers who built the railroad.

Coming from an American, too, a place where the food culture is just a soup of a bunch of other food cultures with extra meat.

The GOP clearly had a meeting to decide that this week's strategy is to cast the planned "No Kings" protest as anti-American and violent. If i were a less cynical person I would think they were running scared, but it could well be more sinister.

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

The R's in control of the committee have not been putting members of The Regime under oath. Basically inviting them over to lie and then Fox "News" reports it as "testimony" so all the cultists believe it's true.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.
