A restraining order was issued YESTERDAY by a federal judge barring detention of journalists in this district unless they refuse to reposition themselves and are given adequate time to do so, or there’s probable cause they’ve committed a crime.

There used to be rules against wearing that particular uniform off base while more formal ones were allowed.

They might be doing it on purpose here for visibility.

ICE is doing all these things in Chicago and Portland now. Tyranny and brutality against civilians, unarmed women, children, and journalists. And these assholes are fucking cheering that violence. Fuck this red scare bullshit.

These accounts make a mockery of Kavanaugh’s insistence that these stops are brief and painless for those who have a right to live in this country but look a certain way to ICE agents.

There’s a New Lawsuit Against “Kavanaugh Stops.” It’s Absolutely Devastating.

These detentions, far from the “brief” inconvenience the justice described, are often lengthy, violent, and dangerous.

What if, @barackobama.bsky.social chose to come out not as the former president but took up his old job, community organizer, or more likely an organizer of community organizers.

I think it's a really important role in this particular moment that's missing and I hear he was a good one.

We have (so many) questions. Is this part of a quid pro quo? Will the Qataris have their own facilities and security inside one of our bases? This needs some VERY serious oversight, if Republicans in Congress feel like doing their jobs at any point.

We need drinking songs to shout sing at them like soccer fans.

Spectators can see we're singing, not fighting.

But I'm not in love with the "hey hey, ho ho," stuff. I want something that makes me feel like a hooligan when I sing it.

I kind of love this.

My brain had to fight a little to recognize the spent filters because of their placement and darker color being slightly in shadow.

The composition is great, and I like boldness of the subjects and the subtlety of the association between them.

Thanks for making that.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

The federal government is making war on the people of Chicago. Does he have the "force of will" to make peace and end that conflict?

In direct contrast to coverage from right-wing media, Portland residents and officials have emphasized that it's actually federal agents who have been engaging in “violent tactics” against protesters.

Right-wing media say Portland is a war zone under siege. Local news paints a different picture.

Right-wing media claim that Portland’s protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement show a city “under siege” or “conquered by antifa,” but local news programs have reported the opposite. Mult...
