A storm of anti-perfection?

Enforcing our immoral-moral codes?
Mayor Wilson announced police will begin citing homeless Portlanders for declining shelter, starting this weekend. The move comes as 15,000 homeless residents in the county are set to lose food assistance, and service providers say the criminal justice system only makes things worse.

emotional update after brief episode of social media use:

I’m sad,
I’m mad,
I feel bad,
I’m glad
I stared some insane realities directly in the face,

I’m going for a walk and reading a book and doing at least one task I’ve been procrastinating

Many problems still exist as a result of destroyed trust in the country’s government, but hey a nice counterpoint to Argentina
Unacceptable behavior where all these atrocities are happening but he never sees any of them

… Unless they are events he hopes to leverage for fascist advancement, then he not only sees them but extreme reaction is called for
Q: Just last week a minister was shot directly in the face with a pepper round by a DHS agent that left his face bloodied. Are you concerned that this is a religious freedom issue?

MIKE JOHNSON: I can't comment on any of those instances. I haven't seen or heard any of those videos
Local police forces already have large “quick reaction forces”, and military equipment, and training

But because of the U.S.’ political structure, the federal government cannot order local police around (at least not local police forces in what are now known as “blue states and cities”)
“.. A top US military official has ordered the national guards of all 50 US states .. to form ‘quick reaction forces’ trained in ‘riot control’, including use of batons, body shields, Tasers and pepper spray, according to an internal Pentagon directive ..”

The MAGA Republican right is transgressing every “rule of law” boundary they can

At times, upon receiving pushback, they are complying and backing off. At other times they belligerently advance

Criminal predator behavior seeking full dominance and compliance
Trump is attacking local attorney structures

In this case we have attorneys for City of Portland and State of Oregon

Trump is sending MAGA Liars to battle them in court

The local attorneys are teaming with local Police to at least bring some credible facts into the lie-filled MAGA environment
HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

This is exactly the same argument — and, in parts, even the same language — that segregationists advanced to argue that white people had a “right” not to live next to people who were different from them.
Vance says it is "totally reasonable and acceptable" for people to not want to live next door to people who speak a different language than they do

This is ugly. But the reason this lady was protesting is even worse. ICE thugs detained two children and their father on their way to school. One child appears to have been beaten in detention, and no one seems to know where the 12-year-old girl is right now. The family had been seeking asylum.

“Lock him up! You fucking Nazi!”Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino didn’t get to throw gas canisters at today’s protesters in Chicago when he was brought in to federal court.

He must now wear a body camera and report to court in person every weekday at 6 p.m.

Q: What's your reaction to yesterday's purge of senior ICE officials? When is it time for Congress to do some oversight?

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know any of the details of that yet. I just heard about that, literally I was walking in.

🚨 Greg here is having a rough day. Gassing protesters and journalists is an abuse of power: Tear gassing families on their way to a park for an annual Halloween celebration is beyond an abuse of power. That is child endangerment; abuse.
