It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

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.

Trump does not deserve to be addressed respectfully as Mr. President. He cheated his way into the Oval Office BOTH times. He’s a disgusting piece of human garbage. I will never call him President.

Mr. President. Stop breaking the law.

The shutdown does not give you the right to fire thousands of hard working federal employees.

Instead of giving huge tax breaks to your billionaire friends, show some respect for the struggling working families of our country.

Trump's indicting Comey and Letitia James now? Cool cool cool, totally normal use of DOJ to settle personal scores 🙃 Chris Hayes is right - this is impeachable AF. Good thing they're not going quietly because apparently the Constitution is just a suggestion now

$Trump crossed another name off his enemies list. But his targets aren\'t going quietly.$

So now the government is funding Kristi Noem airport commercials blaming Democrats for the shutdown? Cute. Really cute. Except here’s the thing: Americans already know who’s been in power, who controls the budget, and who’s been refusing to do the work.

A captive audience of US travelers will be getting a new message from a top US government officials: It’s all Democrats’ fault.

People are always telling me that my videos shouldn't be longer than a minute because people don't watch that long. So I beg you: Make an exception. It's important that people know this, and not everything can be--or should be--explained in 60 seconds. youtu.be/upZz4T3A4wU
