I agree, a defining moment of our era. What is ICE? This is ICE.
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.

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

He Was Born in Philly and They Tried to Deport Him to Jamaica
A Florida sheriff ignored proof of Peter Sean Brown’s U.S. citizenship and held him for ICE anyway. A federal court just ruled it was a blatant violation of his Fourth Amendment rights.

Trump sycophant Stephen Miller says the White House is considering suspending Habeas Corpus.
As a human rights lawyer, let me be clear: Due process & habeas corpus is arguably the last line of defense before fascism takes permanent hold.
I cannot emphasize enough how dire this is for our nation.

When a government cancels a $50 million suicide hotline for LGBTQ teens, but keeps its $92 million birthday parade for its president, it is no longer a great, or even a good country. It’s a tinpot dictatorship.

Just think what the reaction would be if Joe Biden, in his first months in office, had openly discussed overruling the 2nd Amendment.
But Trump can do the same for the 22nd Amendment and it’ll be forgotten by evening and won’t prompt howls of outrage from every elected Dem or NYT headline writer.
