Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;

Riot cops standing a street with less-lethal weapons, and one in a gas mask has a cloud of pepper dust around his helmet.

I’m so proud of my fellow leftists for pushing back against hatred and violence with disruptive protesting like this. This is how we do it.

It makes the news and people say

The Portland protest frog didn’t let a stream of chemical spray aimed directly at his costume’s air vent stop him.

A TikTok video of the onslaught by a federal agent is now up to at least 1.4 million likes.

It happened last week – at 10:57 p.m. on Oct. 2 – as people were peacefully protesting on the sidewalk in front of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office, said the man in the frog suit, Seth Todd, 24, of Portland.

“Can you explain this gap in your resume?”

Me thinking quickly on my feet to explain the period when I worked for ICE: “I was selling drugs… ,uh, to children.”

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

A few blocks from me here in Philly, an FBI agent randomly shot and killed a dog in front of its owner on the sidewalk because it growled at her dog. The police... Took a report and the DA did nothing.

FBI agent who shot, killed dog in Philadelphia will not face charges

On Friday, the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office confirmed Jacqueline Maguire would not be charged but did not say why.

I had to give someone the Heimlich at a restaurant and I think I accidentally looked really annoyed like "Can't swallow? Skill issue." They thanked me and I was like "Yeah, whatever (learn to eat food lol)"

What is that. Stop

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

I’m not sure there ever been an investigation more robustly proven valid than the first Trump impeachment. Did he use presidential power for his personal gain? Uh, yeah! I think he probably did!

It’s so cool how over the last three years my romantic dreams have been adjusted from “I want to meet a stunningly beautiful woman I can marry and have a real home with” to “I just want to meet a woman I am not repulsed by who will go on more than two dates with me”

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

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.
