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.

Words are important. It's not that the regime doesn't care abt (insert anything), it's that they do what they do to remove the "filth". Poor, disabled, minorities, elderly. Keep them from learning. Turn those who can labor into slaves. Kill the rest.

The playbook doesn't change. Just the player.

It can't. Which is exactly the point. In every fascist country, they get rid of the disabled & old ppl first. They are not needed & are in fact an obstacle bcuz it angers ppl to see them tortured. They have gutted every single thing that will help anyone. Slaves are all they want to survive.

Miller, feeling scared shitless that trump is going to keel over before Project 2025 is fully implemented!

I agree with the position of VP.

But what is the role of a candidate? Because as candidate Harris she supported Israel & said she wouldn't change anything from Biden.

They were absolutely two different roles. She chose to do both.

While yes, it was slow in the beginning. The push to fascism has been happening for 1/2 century. But, trump did NOT sneak up on us. We've been warning since 2016. We were poo-poo'd, laughed at, blocked & mocked. Many today still are and it's been here for a few months already.

Love that Chicago is getting in on the Portland humor bandwagon! Hard to say it’s a warzone when this is happening!

The reason the whole country hasn't turned against trump is because of all the exceptions he makes for the ppl that pay him.

JacqueBlue @jacqueblue.bsky.social · 4h

They always have been. Even when they weren't being bailed out by the govt, one of the reasons they are pissed is because trump gutted USAid & school lunches which was the govt paying them to grow crops. That and the soy farmers who sold all their crops overseas & can't now because of tariffs.

I want to know how anyone in the US military is okay with ICE getting paid thousands more than them and also, not worry abt their paycheck during the shutdown?

MAGA farmers: Here's what you voted for! (This was paid for w/ US tax dollars) No more subsidies! You've been getting corporate welfare for decades. You voted to destroy the poor & minorities. Pull yourself up by your own fucking bootstraps or join us in the destruction YOU voted for!

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

We are NOT sliding! Not creeping. Not edging. Not moving towards.

We are smack dab in authoritarianism! Using gentler wording doesn't change that, it just is what has allowed them to get this far.
