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 only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

This is some of the best political news I've seen in a very long time.

There's a clear a way to end the Citizens United precedent by changing state incorporation laws - and now luminaries in both parties are forcing a vote on it in the 2026 election.

"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."

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

👇🎯 Joe Biden, who was president during ceasefires in which 100 hostages were released, quite famously never received the same Leni Riefenstahl moment & grading-on-a-curve treatment from major media outlets in 2024. Whatever one thinks of him or Trump on this issue, this is massive goalpost shifting.

* Over 20,000 Palestinians killed since January
* 100s starved to death, including kids
* Congress bypassed to send more & more bombs to Israel
* US citizens murdered in the West Bank

I hope this ceasefire holds & I am glad the hostages are free, but this is Trump’s *actual record* so far.

Just in case the dramatically low Leni Riefenstahl-style angle was too subtle, they used a word from her most famous movie

Windows and doors were blown out in the hospital wings,
