🚨NEW: A case at the Supreme Court cites Trump reportedly promising oil donors favors as proof that pay-to-play influence is so pervasive that bribery laws must be narrowed so pay-to-play is no longer a prosecutable crime.

The case is represented by a Trump-connected law firm.

“Shame! Shame! Free the Squirrel! Free the Squirrel”

Back in the gang ridden streets of Portland, ICE just arrested a girl wearing a “dangerous” inflatable Squirrel without provocation.

She’s fallen several times having been cuffed and pushed to walked faster than the suit will allow.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

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.

Quite literally giving the goons cover to scare up some bounties

"Menace the masses, get your payout" should not be a thing, folks, but here we are

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.

If I were a DC reporter, I’d consider maybe pressing Johnson on how he reconciles these two statements.
@atrupar.com

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, l'm a very patient guy, but l'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 ..." @atrupar.com

Mike Johnson: "People have got to stop framing simple policy disagreements in terms of existential threats to our democracy. You can't call the other side fascists and enemies of the state and not understand that there are some deranged people in our society who will take that as cues to act."

Portland is doing it right!

This regime is a rickety treehouse full of bullies who want to force respect rather than earn it. Clowning on them strips all that posturing down to the weakness at its core.

Creative and joyful resistance is their kryptonite.

Portland is so good at trolling these fascists.

I love this frog. The dude inside was sprayed but is ok.
This is what we are- joy in the face of destruction. We are love in the face of hatred. They will NOT take our joie de vivre. They will not get our silence or our compliance. However they can be invited to our rave if they stop being dicks.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Contrast Miller's description with the actual footage of--people in frog costumes

These people are so unserious. It's just too bad that the ramifications of their unseriousness are so very serious
