Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;
Riot cops standing a street with less-lethal weapons, and one in a gas mask has a cloud of pepper dust around his helmet.

ALL the people doing ALL the things

that's what it is going to take.

Someone in my mentions is upset because these people haven’t suffered the worst at ICE’s hands and therefore they shouldn’t be praised for being out on the streets?

Yeah, no. To push back on these people we need everyone — especially those with relative privilege — to get up and get involved.

I will breath a sigh of relief when people stop giving the NYT the benefit of the doubt or thinking they do real journalism anymore

When does it stop being « malpractice » and start just being malicious?

What’s the line for folks to start being plain and asking

“What do these people believe that this is still okay and how did we miss those signs despite the POLYPHONIC SPREE of people warning us”

The New York Times knows crime is not “out of control” in major U.S. cities — in fact, crime is way down from past years and decades — but NYT amplifies JD Vance’s lie without a fact check.
It’s journalism malpractice that helps the fascists.

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

A reason why we got here is that the media stopped reporting facts and replaced reporting with making everything a reality tv show where contestants fight one another. It turned lying from a liability into an advantage since it would no longer be punished
heathergm.bsky.social
same goes for all the agencies they are hollowing out
4taxfairness.bsky.social
They're putting someone unqualified in charge at IRS.

Why?

If they break the government, you'll believe the government is broken.

That makes it easier for them to eliminate all the important things government does for us—including making billionaires pay their fair share.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

not just them - I have people on our side disavowing being antifa because of the media scare stuff and yet when I say "Oh I think you probably are since I can't see you being pro fascism" they are like "Oh NO I am totally against fascism" .... sigh

When I see a politician who stands up for trans rights, even though I am a cis white man, I know that is a politician who will stand up for the most oppressed group in America, and therefore will stand up for everyone, trans, gay, straight, Black, Latin, Asian, anyone.

I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning:

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.

it's ALWAYS the racism
seancasten.bsky.social
The racism is of course the point. But it’s also Trump’s quest for mediocrity. The white people he hires are universally 3rd rate talents whose only qualification is that they’ll do as their told. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/08/u...

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

He said this deliberately because he is a Nazi and he wants you to know he's a Nazi who you can't touch. He also wants other Nazis to know they can be open about the fact they are Nazis too.

This isn't an oversight, a fumble or an opportunity for a "heh, well actually, dummy" zinger.

"Antifa has been around in various iterations for almost 100 years in some instances, going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany."

"A government doesn't announce they have become fascist; they announce anti-fascists are enemies of the state."

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.

This is exactly it. Locals remember way back when he was at charity events and doing the weather and a normal guy. Now he gins up controversies in local FB groups and certain groups in "the valley" love him even tho he moved to Idaho. I pegged him as scary years ago when he was on his descent.

We’re not dealing with brilliant strategists cleverly laying traps, we’re dealing with impulsive whiners whose advantage is contempt for laws, norms, and morality.

They’re not pulling some elaborate trick, they’re just willing—even eager—to do things regular, principled people consider off limits.
