So top Portland cops wrote & *testified* that fed agents have been "instigating and causing" conflict.

They said agents were firing pepper balls unprovoked and "without any apparent warning"

When a Portland chief called a federal agent w/ Qs, the agent hung up.

“It makes it extremely difficult for us to deal with, as the folks that are on the other side of this fence have been, night after night, actually instigating and causing some of the ruckus that’s occurring down there,” Dobson said.

“Okay. So it’s your testimony ICE is creating the problem?” Rask asked.

“I’m saying that they’re not following best practice,” Dobson replied.

This is a time when my regular exposure to Canadian politics causes great confusion. Tabling a bill has the opposite meaning in Canada.

Governor Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"

Urgent CTA: RFK Jr Moving to Destroy CDC. Call Your Reps

Hello my name is [$NAME]. I am a constituent calling from [$CITY/TOWN, $ZIPCODE]. I'm calling to urge [the Senator / the Representative] to demand the removal of RFK Jr. as HHS Secretary.
RFK Jr. is a clear and present danger not just to the health of the American people but to the entire world. Firing CDC Director Dr. Monarez because she was carrying out her duty to ensure that life-saving, safe, and effective vaccines against COVID, a disease which has killed more than 1.2 million Americans, are available to all Americans is inexcusable. RFK Jr's deliberate, determined campaign to undermine the public health mission of CDC has caused the principled resignations of four other senior CDC leaders, including the expert who heads the national center that combats emerging infectious disease — the top CDC official in charge of preventing bird flu from killing millions of us. RFK Jr. is compromising the biosecurity and national security of the United States and endangering me and my family.

Trump and his MAGA movement have mastered the art of projection, accusing the left of doing what they themselves have done. But now, Trump has taken that to a new level, becoming the manifestation of an oppressive state that the right has always warned against. So why aren't more sounding the alarm?
Trump Is The Bogeyman The Right Always Warned Us About
Where is the outrage now that Trump has manifested the right's deepest darkest fears about an oppressive state?

Not a problem! Enjoy and I’ll be doing some talks in Canada, mainly Vancouver and Montreal, when my next book is published.

This thread sums up much of what is wrong with journalism today. TL;DR: too many journalists think defaulting to white/cishet = being "unbiased" and impartial; and that considering non-white, non-cishet perspectives is "biased" activism.

And that, folks, is how systemic discrimination works.

So anyway, these guys are all still employed in journalism. I'm not. Journalism didn't break my heart. White supremacy, prejudice, callousness, fascism broke my fucking heart.
