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.

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

It’s actually incredible that as a society we never managed to find the political will to force elected officials to tell the truth on TV.

Gym Jordan says ICE is “doing the Lord’s work”…..Oh REALLY? Is he speaking of the lord of the underworld? ICE is sure not doing Christlike work!

WTF? Guy who knew boys on Ohio State’s wrestling team, on which he had a job, were being raped by the team doctor in the showers, and Jordon said nothing, is talking about God? Go back to doing nothing, Jim, you’re good at that. www.huffpost.com/entry/jim-jo...

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

“I … met with the governor, met with the mayor, met with the chief of police, and the superintendent of the highway patrol. They’re all lying, and disingenuous, and dishonest people,” Noem said, because they wouldn’t back up her baseless claims that the streets were overrun with terrorists.

CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m.

The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom.

While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop.

The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.
