They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time.

Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief.

Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time.

Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

This is about the Border Patrol shooting of two individuals near Portland. It's the exact same statement every time, and so far, each time it's been proven false within 24 hours or less. It's a license to kill with impunity.

This whole time people on the left have been clear—we don't care if Bill Clinton is in the Epstein files. Release them in full & let justice be served. We're not in a cult and that's what justice demands.

Now Bill Clinton is calling for their full release.

And suddenly MAGA is silent. Fascinating.

Son of a bitch freed Rod Blagojevich and is trying to free Larry Hoover but he's worried about Somali Americans.
There’s a shit ton of fraud committed by white people in this country. When does that targeted operation start?!

This, with a side of,"are you surprised?'" No, I'm not. I'm also not okay with it.
While this usually isn't the intent, "no one will ever be held accountable for this" doomerism is an excuse not to try.

There'll be at least some accountability if enough Americans work for it. And this time really is different. Doesn't guarantee the aftermath will be, but it increases the chances.

This is murder. Hegseth thinks he will get away with it because the people around him are more committed to aiding and abetting his crimes than upholding the rule of law. I wouldn't take that bet if I were him, or the people around him. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

To Recap just this week:
•Noem defied court order & deported immigrants
•Hegseth ordered execution of two fishermen
•Netanyahu has killed on avg 2 Palestinians a day since Trump's "ceasefire"
•Witkoff caught coaching Kremlin to undermine Ukraine

The party of "law & order" is proudly pro war crime.

I like how you move past the fact that the shooter was granted asylum under *this* administration as quickly as possible in order to maintain the Trump fiction that this is somehow Biden's fault.

Sulzberger does it again.

Chicago: ICE was just spotted taking people on Elston just north of Montrose. Keep alert

This rebuke was largely made possible by the work of rapid responders. EVERYTHING is on tape. You may not be able to stop something in the moment, but you are creating an invaluable record.
What this shows yet again is that DHS's "official version" of events simply shouldn't be believed without verification. In video after video, claims made by DHS officers and DHS itself were shown not to have occurred at all — or to have occurred in a substantially different way than first described.

97.5% of the people Trump arrested in Chicago had no criminal record

100% of the people Trump pardoned for Jan 6 had criminal records

The difference is the former are mostly Latino & the latter are mostly white. This is systemic white supremacy in 2025. If you still don’t see it, you’re complicit

as we reach the SNAP cliff just a gentle reminder to do-gooders that the most efficient use of resources is to contribute to organizations that are already established. unless nothing exists in your area (and it likely does whether you know it) now is probably not the time to stand something up

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement.

Check out how tiny the crowds were:

Philly: 200
DC: "several hundred"
Boston: 500
Austin: 1,000
Houston: 2,000
