What Now: "War Zone"
#portland #ice

4 Panel Cartoon

Panel 1: A male reporter in a helmet and khakis addresses the viewer. Behind him two men are enjoying a beer at a table on the sidewalk outside a downtown pub.
Reporter: I come to you live form WAR-TORN PORTLAND!

Panel 2: The reporter interviews a bearded man in a D20 tee shirt, examining his pint of ale.
Reporter: As you can see, people here live on a knife's edge! Sir, how has the war affected you?
D20 Guy: Uh, well, this pale ale is a bit too hoppy. I might get a stout next.

Panel 3: The reporter sticks his microphone at a mom walking down the street with her kids. Behind them are houses and trees. It's a pleasant day.
Reporter: Ma'am, how do you get by day-to-day?
Mom: The city built a new park, so I'm taking the kids to play in the splashpad.

Panel 4: The reporter stands in front of a gated facility, the ICE building, as a group of naked bike riders passes by.
Reporter: A weary city cries out: "Send in the troops!"
Bike riders: Hey hey! Ho ho! ICE and feds have got to go!!!

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

Was the rainbow impeding pedestrian traffic?

I swear these guys would have nothing without resentment and trolling.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy applauds and retweets a tweet by End Wokeness showing a picture of a bulldozer tearing up rainbow colored sidewalk, "LGBTQ crosswalk in Miami Beach torn up by Florida DOT."

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray.

“I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.”

But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire.

“We could hear them laughing,” Black said.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

"Move fast and break things" and "better to ask forgiveness than permission" get us a whole suite of "AI" literally built out of consent violation and coerced control, where human consent is not meaningful a possibility, and uses that suit to try to coerce or replace anyone who might tell them "no."

“My honest, non-trolling advice” he says to make his shitposting sound respectable while he belittles a black woman who criticizes white supremacy.

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

Tweet from the VP:
Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country. It's been
overwhelmingly kind and gracious to her. She is far wealthier than most.
Yet she oozes with contempt.
My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you'd be a much
happier person if you showed a little gratitude

1. This is one of the most insane statements ever delivered by a presidential spokesperson in U.S. history. Totally disconnected from reality.

2. There is either going to be a civil war or abject Democratic surrender to autocracy. They are telling this you, to your face, in explicit terms.

I have a citation, but it contradicts your interlocutor's contention. If anything, a consistent concept of "the people" applied to the Bill of Rights risks undermining the protections each amendment is meant to provide.

What I don't get is why Dr. Roberts had such a hard time getting permanent resident status, given his marriage, high profile in the community, and his dedication to education. I mean, other than racism.

The gun charge? Fine him. Otherwise, let the man stay.
