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!

I’m going to keep repeating that one reason why they are escalating violence is because they know they are wildly outnumbered.

It is a sign of weakness, not strength, that they are tear gassing and pepper ball shooting and slamming protestors to the ground and dragging them into facilities.

“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.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Pity poor MAGA. Disillusionment hurts. First, Qatari pilots flying F-15s in Idaho. Now the orange felon got both a COVID booster and a flu shot.
