I wonder if all the people braying about the "war on Christianity" might raise some objections if it were a *Democratic* administration who had its armed thugs shooting priests in the head with pepper balls and waiting outside Catholic Churches to disappear parishioners?

Earlier this month, federal officers shot a woman in the city, and a few weeks before, they killed a man in a nearby suburb. But in body camera footage from the fatal shooting, the officer who responded says his injuries are "nothing major."

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

The proclamation goes on to present a white Christian nationalist version of American history, with much more emphasis on Christianity than Trump’s previous, similar proclamations.

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!
