More serious abuse than slamming protesters to the ground and arresting people without any cause? I figure if the restaurant serves alcohol and you would normally ID someone at the table, all you’re doing is moving it up to the front desk. Or, “no tactical gear in the restaurant.” Better?

Require a photo w/o a mask? I am awaiting a kidney transplant so I mask everywhere in public but even I can hold my breath at the TSA or other places that check ID.
Or, simply, “We ID all guests before service.”

Let's flood the zone with new messaging. They are Secret Police, not "federal agents" or "ICE agents." It's so simple, even Red America will understand. Secret Police are bad.

Is this energy available in powdered form that I can simply snort straight up my nose? Asking for all of my friends.

Bastitches. Cabrones.

Wen should direct more attention to incidents like these because Americans are more likely to respond to brutality to pets than to brutality to human beings.

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

One reason why the Constitution broadly protects speech without regard to its content, and why it also protects expressive conduct rather than words alone, is that you never know whether the most profound form of protest against authoritarianism will turn out to be a frog costume.

In defense of that classification, they are very hard to blow into or work with a bow properly.

NB: EVERY instrument can be a percussion instrument if the player has the will. Even a theramin, if you can get your hands on one.

It’s certainly true in Oregon. It also makes delivering any level of services vastly more complicated. Well baby care? Food delivery? Vaccines? Child protective services? Schooling? Elder care? Emergency services? Drug & alcohol treatment services?
BLM is REMOTE, and often cut off by rough weather.

Instead of “the economy” (vague, hard to comprehend, is it in the room w/us now?, etc.) I prefer the term
“Billionaire Yacht Money.”
Thus: “People no longer trust the GOP to deliver on ‘billionaire yacht money’”

One of the reasons they're having trouble concocting a Left Wing Terrorism epidemic is basically nobody in this country has ever met a left wing person. You might as well say we're being invaded by the smurfs

It was during lockdown, but they knew I liked to cook and sent several recipe kits with exotic ingredients and full instructions. Had a blast in my tiny flat making chaat, jollof rice, and other stuff.
My team was awesome. Still is, I guess, just not my team anymore. Miss the UK. 🇬🇧

Howard Hudson @hwrdhdsn.bsky.social · 2d

Still treasure the “SARF LONDON” printed T-shirt my team got me when I had to leave the UK in 2021.
I had moved from Finchley up north to Clapham. Most of my team was from the south, so they wanted to commemorate my solidarity.

Man they were banking on mass civil unrest because now they’re getting desperate and looking more ridiculous by the day.

Texas National Guard troops to Illinois? We gotta send troops to Portland?

This is ridiculous. It’s almost like they’re saying “please riot”

Pathetic.
