“I haven’t done anything,” Miranda said to the officers in the video.

“Turn around or you’re going to get the dog,” an officer said. “We’re going to put you in cuffs, or you’re going to get the dog.”

Masked ICE agents threatened an American citizen, put him into an unmarked van, held him for several hours, and dropped him back off at his workplace, without ever explaining why they abducted him

it always blows my mind when these people act like “the left just calls everyone nazis” these days and it’s like no. we’re calling nazis nazis! there just happens to be a lot of them in and around the government these days!

More history from this Nazi adulated by the Trump team. These are explicit, proud Nazis who scream and cry and call every referee they can find when you quote their Nazism back to them.

Multiple tweets from Nazi Jack Posobiec in 2016 making "jokes" involving the Nazi code "1488."

"CNBC found that one Microsoft data center in Illinois received more than $38 million in data center sales tax exemptions but created just 20 permanent jobs."

What are we doing?! 😐

In race to attract data centers, states can forfeit hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue to tech companies

Amazon, Meta and Google are among the beneficiaries of state tax exemptions for data centers that help power AI.

...I get that we sound like crazy people to anyone not online enough to know who Posobiec is, to know what QAnon is, to know what Pizzagate is. People who don't watch press conferences and roundtable and the insane fucking fascist shit being spoken out loud across the internet. I get it.

In the Oregon troops case, the Ninth Circuit panel granted an administrative stay of the Saturday OR NG TRO but *not* the Sunday deployment TRO.

"Thus, the effect of granting an administrative stay preserves the status quo in which National Guard members have been federalized but not deployed."

Case: 25-6268, 10/08/2025, DktEntry: 32.1, Page 1 of 4
FOR PUBLICATION
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
STATE OF OREGON and CITY OF PORTLAND,
Plaintiffs - Appellees,
No. 25-6268
D.C. No.
3:25-cv-01756-IM
District of Oregon, Portland
ORDER
FILED
ОСТ 8 2025
MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK
U.S. COURT OF APPEALS
DONALD J. TRUMP, In his official capacity as President of the United States; et al.,
Defendants - Appellants.
Before: GRABER, R. NELSON, and BADE, Circuit Judges.

In the circumstances here, granting an administrative stay will best preserve the status quo. Prior to the October 4 temporary restraining order, Oregon National
Guard members had been federalized but not deployed. The Memorandum
authorized federalization of the Oregon National Guard members. An
administrative stay of the October 4 temporary restraining order will maintain the federalization of Oregon National Guard members, because that order prohibits implementation of the Memorandum. Additionally, the second temporary restraining order has not been challenged or appealed, and it prohibits the deployment of National Guard members in Oregon. Thus, the effect of granting an administrative stay preserves the status quo in which National Guard members

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

A meme that shows a child struggling in water while an oblivious adult holds another child, and underneath them in a second panel, a skeleton. The child struggling is labeled robustly validated measures of experience implying that these are neglected, and the adult is labeled software teams, holding a child labeled data from tippety typing implying this is preferred by software teams. The bottom skeleton is labeled construct development implying it is the most neglected of all

no they're LITERALLY exaggerating this issue. there is absolutely no data backing up their claims. ffs just say that!!

NBC news: The discussions come as Trump has sought to deploy National Guard troops in several major cities — including Los Angeles, Chicago and Portland, Oregon — saying they’re needed to reduce crime and protect Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials from protesters. Critics have said that the Trump administration is exaggerating issues in those cities.
