One of the live streams tonight showed ball bearings that were on the street and in a person's hand. This was across the street from the DHS building. They said they were all over, that they were shooting those too.

(this is one reason centrism USUALLY wins at the national level, despite the appeal of charismatic populists and faux-populist authoritarians, national parties are generally aware of how regression to the mean works, but then a bunch of not very smart guys following a dementia guy captured the GOP)
Trump +17 to Dem +14
chat, is a 31-point swing away from the governing party a good or bad sign for that party’s chances of successfully maintaining power forever?

Portland. Alissa Azar describing ICE attacks on a low-key, all ages labor march. Flash bangs (concussion grenades) were used too, and such large amounts of tear gas that one seasoned journalist said it was the most they'd ever encountered in their life.
Reports of people being shot with rubber bullets that had smiley faces drawn on them in sharpie

Someone just told me that they saw multiple people passed out during the first brutal wave of tear gas when there were still a ton of children and elderly folks. There was a line of children waiting to get treated by medics

Just saw a tweet talking about how Zohran and socialism have failed because there were 15 homicides in New York City in January.
That’s a 40% drop from January 2025

Can’t overstate just how devastating tonight’s election result in Texas is for the GOP.
Emotionally - Massive blow to morale losing a Trump +17 seat by 15.
Monetarily - Outspent Ds big and still lost big
Strategically - Newly-rigged House maps now looking flimsy and #TXSen now firmly on the map

massive cash discrepancy here too (check Taniel’s threaded post). money just doesn’t matter when people are furious — and nothing could be more terrifying to gop donors than that.
JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.
Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.
With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.
Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

Former Texas Lege reporter here. A Dem hasn't held this seat since 1990. Tarrant is the safest of red suburban counties. There is no way the TX and national GOP aren't in panic mode right now.

This was the kind of treatment the union activists got today from Oregon’s largest unions alongside coalitions like @jwjpdx.bsky.social. They fired projectiles and injured many demonstrators and broke out neighbors windows. Gas for a half dozen miles in each direction. #iceout

Anyway. I’ve written a 36-step guide to destroying the machines and the men who control them disguised as a novel but I’ve gotta convince my agent it’s not too weird to get someone to publish it. So stay tuned I guess.

I spend a lot of time trying to help people understand that not all protests are the same, but one of the things that make this hard is that sometimes you show up for a "liberal vibes with kids" protest and you get an "everyone gets teargassed, including the kids" protest.
Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks.
They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.
