“I told you once that I was searching for the nature of evil. I think I've come close to defining it: a lack of empathy. It's the one characteristic that connects all the defendants. A genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow man. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.”

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

I’m all jacked up on hopium right now that divine intervention will do her thing and stop this sinking ship. In case she doesn’t, there’s no better time than now to exercise your 2nd amendment right to bear arms.

As an atheist, I can’t help but empathize with that man and the work he’s doing. I have nothing but the utmost respect for Pastor Black. He’s literally doing the lords work.

Rick Kane @paintingsurfer.bsky.social · 12h

Holy shit, pardon the pun!!

His name is Pastor David Black and he is literally a saint. As if ICE couldn’t look any worse than they already do, this photo will likely be a serious contender for a Pulitzer Prize.

In case anyone is wondering his name is Pastor David Black and he sounds like a wonderful human who was literally out there doing the lords work.

If we’re in a civil war / insurrection act situation there is no such thing as body shaming. You can say whatever you want about Kristi Noem. Tell them I vouched for you. I’ll get cancelled when we win idgaf

These aren’t police officers, they’re terrorists. I dunno about you but I probably wouldn’t be too happy if a terrorist pointed their yeet canon at me.
