I just watched the video of the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd. Now I see this where the General of the Oregon National Guard says if they get called up they will protect the protesters. People are fed up.

Oregon general’s testimony that National Guard troops ‘will be protecting any protesters’ gains traction online

Brigadier General Alan R. Gronewold made the comments to state lawmakers Sept. 30, and they drew notice on social media this week.

"It’ll be a lot, and we’ll announce the numbers over the next couple of days, but it’ll be a lot of people."

In response to a reporter question, Trump said that the layoffs across the federal government due to the government shutdown will be "Democrat oriented."

This is just another disgusting example of how fascism comes for the women.

Remember when Republicans said abortion would ‘never’ be banned — that it would be ‘up to the states’? Well, here we are — facing an incoming ban, thanks to Republicans.

In case anyone missed this happening the same week @jimmykimmel.com was being targeted for his words. This character is “Brian Kilmeade” and I doubt he cares that some homeless people are just poor and don’t need mental health treatment, jail, OR DEATH. Any what would we be jailing them for? Wtf?!

I genuinely do not think all of them understand this even. Sure, a lot do and just lie, but those ones have lied so much that a whole new generation is coming through with this as their “alternative truths”

What else would need to happen before we call it a coup? What lines are left to cross?

Post from Senator Sheldon Whitehouse - YouTube

Trump judges have held up the contempt hearing involving nominee Bove, while Trump-publicans ram him through Senate Judiciary Committee. We need to make sure...

What else would they need to do for everyone to call it a coup? It’s not like they’re going to announce that there has been a coup, and I am not in any place to make it official—but this seems very much like a coup… know what I mean?
