This is the genius of the Portland protests - they make the claims of lawlessness look not just wrong, but comical

Why did you bigoted dummies vote for Trump then?! He said he was going to do tariffs. A million times.

Hey, here’s something you probably don’t know ,everything our Democrats are doing right now is without interns. Interns are considered non-essential and are let go during a shut down.

going by the decor, is this not TGI Fridays?

Someone on Twitter posted a photo of themselves doing a happy dance as they receive a hot plate of fajitas. Then "Raw Egg Nationalist" on Twitter retweets them, writing: It's incredible that these people exist, but they really do. These are the people who justify the demographic replacement of Western countries in terms of the variety of street food and how many different kinds of fried-meat-and-vegetables in flatbread they can buy.

Because of Trump's confusing and idiotic tariff and custom policies, UPS is actively DISPOSING OF THOUSANDS OF PACKAGES meant for delivery in America.

UPS is 'disposing of' U.S.-bound packages over customs paperwork problems

Shifting Trump tariffs have created a nightmare for UPS, as thousands of packages from overseas pile up at its hubs while they await customs clearance.

This is insane

No org should be completely immune from lawsuits

The Lever @levernews.com · 11h

The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims.

If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.

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.

I get hives whenever someone says, "I hate to say it, but Marjorie Taylor Greene has a point" (which for some reason people love to say), but I will note that it is of political and historical interest that this dynamic could be occurring within the Republican Party. There are a few hypotheses, here

MB Brown @mbbrownsf.bsky.social · 1d

I guess I should have turned away from his interview. guessing he is getting a bit scared because of how loudly Marjorie Taylor Green has gotten on the need for Republicans to protect ACA access & coverage.

I don’t think we’re talking enough about the fact that we successfully took back the frog. Like it has been a meme for the alt right for years now, and thanks to these Portland inflatable costumes, we’re taking it back

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

Ok. But if circumcision causes autism explain women w/ autism...

Also I'm pretty sure this is headed towards an antisemitic conclusion...
Admittedly, I'm not gona be as good at recognizing antisemitism as a Jewish person, but, this seems suspiciously dogwhistley..

‘Nice sleepy southern town’ lol. They would not like it either, there just would only be 5 ppl there so not as much protest. They’d probably be up in arms though like why are you here & not in the hellscape that they believe Chicago is.

My read is that fascists in the Trump Admin had Portland central to their martial law plan — 100% confident they could poke us & get visuals they wanted — and we, incredibly, have denied it to them in the funniest way possible.

It’s honestly an incredible achievement. So proud of Portlanders.

Genderless Rodent, but Halloween Themed @genderlessrodent.bsky.social · 13h

Okay, so I am 100% for animal costumes, dancing, music, or whatever other way people want to protest against ICE, Trump, fascism, or similar.

I think saying that it's "effective" because people dunking online makes me wonder what the fuck people think the end goal of it is.
