PORTLAND, Ore. — A small group of federal agents in camouflage and face masks watched from atop the immigration processing center Thursday night as a unicorn, peacock, dinosaur and raccoon danced to Cher’s “If I Could Turn Back Time.” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Costumed protesters in Portland defy description of the city as a 'war zone'

Dancing frogs, peacocks and unicorns outside the federal immigration building present a joyful contrast to the Trump administration's portrait of the Oregon city, they say.

Great news! 24,000 donors have raised over $567,000 within 24 hrs of Letitia James’ indictment. Mamdani also summoned what is known as the sisterhood of Black elected officials in NYC to lend their support. I look forward to her victory. ❤️‍🔥 #Pinks #SheShed

As I have previously so stated what ever are in those files must truly be dynamite, must be highly and incredibly awful, so much that Diaper Don and his Gestapo agents from hell are willing to burn down the country just to save their worthless evil selves. I hope th truth is at some point revealed.

OMG—there’s only so much the people can take.

Warrant or not, that’s not how you detain anyone. It’s entrapment and abuse of power, plain and simple. Somebody better start waving the red flags before this turns violent, because the people’s frustration is reaching its breaking point.

I don't think that Joe Rogan can ever redeem his sins. Podcasters and streamers who once treated Donald Trump like the second coming are now apparently realizing that hitching their brand to a would-be strongman might not have been the best move.

Two reasons he calls us communists.
1. It's low hanging fruit for the uneducated base, who don't even know what communism is.
2. Projection. THEY are the communists - America is feeling more like the USSR every day. I'm no Reagan fan, but I doubt he'd support this shit.

Why is the total collapse of the economy the only thing to wake up the Trump supporters?

That is what happened in the 1930's.

That was the only way to break the back of the Republicans.

Why do you want to go back?

We have been there!

How will that be enforced? From what I can tell, ICE just blatantly disregards any and all laws and decrees and does what they want.
