About the only residual is the Apple Store, because assholes broke that glass twice (the first before any protests)

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.

Core 1A speech.

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

I saw a television ad for ICE. So disgusting.

50k signing bonus.

Student loans waived

All for treating humans like shit.

Fuck that.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

These people make me wish that I was not an atheist, wish that God was real and dream that judgement day would have delicious popcorn stands of whose products I can nibble on as I watch these lying ghouls melt into the brimstone.

Leavitt: "President Trump will end the radical left's reign of terror in Portland once and for all. The president has directed Secretary Hegseth to provide all necessary troops to protect war-ravaged Portland."

This is about as tone deaf a statement as any CEO can make about their product. Who set the business model, you or us?

Looking forward to your reports on unboxing

I have tried. I’m not in oil, anything musk related, I am in pharma (I am a customer) and as I learn about who is evil, I tend to move out.

Concerned is too weak of a statement. He is priming people to be used to occupation so when he uses the military to impact elections, it won’t be as much of a shock.

Sue him for libel. He’s wasting taxpayer dollars on his fantasy dictatorship.

As a resident adjacent of Portland, I would like to sue to President of the United States for libel.

As a resident of #Portland it is impossible to capture how unhinged this is. We are a low crime city and the ICE protest "siege" consists of one auxiliary ICE office that normally has at most a dozen weirdos debating what performance art they should use to block a single driveway

Trump says he’s authorized Hegseth to use “Full Force” against Antifa in “War ravaged” Portland

At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Our system has failed. It’s rubber stamp racism all the way down. We should never have a majority court again. Always evenly split. Make these assholes agree before a decision is made.

It looks like Trump's hand picked Supreme Court isn't going to stop him from rescinding money that Congress already agreed to use.

How can Democrats agree to a Republican budget that lets Trump delete the parts of it he doesn't like?
