This splintered timeline we're in is ridiculously stupid and unnecessarily cruel. Loki needs to break it off and throw it in the trash bin of the cosmos.

If Portland Is a ‘War Zone,’ It’s Not Because of Portlanders

No, Portlanders aren’t “living in hell.” But even if we were, it wouldn’t justify a military takeover.

Yes, AOC! Make fun of these pretend alpha men. Real men don't go around telling everyone how masculine or powerful they are. The men who do say things like that are insecure, sensitive, little ballsacks that lash out at others to make themselves feel better. Make fun of the fascists.

If we ever see the other side of this (I’m not optimistic), then all these bro podcasters should never be allowed to forget about or play dumb about their role in what happened. Throw the receipts in their face until the end of time.

Greta Thunberg provides the perspective that most western media will not:

It’s not about a few hundred foreign nationals being mistreated by Israel for a few days.

It’s about the #GazaGenocide, deliberate denial of aid, and Israel’s flagrant breaches of international law.

The local PD believes ICE called in a fake 911 call about protestors trying to break into ICE facility. Cops only found a CBS news crew shooting B-roll.

Now why would ICE do that?

This comes from the apparent fact that ICE agents are instructed to accuse people they assault of violent conduct against them, apparently as a justification for their violence, or to deflect claims. The dishonesty of ICE and its leadership is breathtaking.

There’s just not enough attention being paid to how unqualified, psychologically unfit, and dangerous so many of these new ICE hires potentially are.

If we had a Congress, there’d be investigations & oversight into this.
