ICE is hog tying protesters in Portland and removing them on Dollies.
This is dangerous and could cause serious injury.
The Department of Homeland Security thinks it’s a joke.
They’ve shared this video with the tagline “Refuse to Walk? We’ll give you a ride”.

We've seen the same reporting of the same kinds of claims about how Republican elites really feel since 2016 but... no one speaks up or organizes effectively against Trump and most end up bending the knee or quietly leaving politics

Trump's Fed nominee Miran heads toward swift Senate confirmation
Stephen Miran, a top White House economic advisor, is expected to clear a U.S. Senate hurdle on Wednesday, advancing his nomination as Federal Reserve governor and furthering President Donald Trump’s effort to exert more direct control over interest rate policy and the central bank’s broader role.

The GAO reports that if we faced the same catastrophic hurricanes as we did last Sept. and Oct., FEMA's response would be severely undermined by Trump's cuts.
We are already seeing an age of disasters enhanced and worsened by climate change. Now is not the time to gut FEMA.

ICE snipers is just not a thing I want to see ever anywhere
Scoop: A sudden no-bid ICE contract for specialized sniper training has gone to a decorated former Marine who is also the brother of a GOP lawmaker.
Reached by WIRED, he says there was no hookup; 20 years in a reconnaissance unit and even more as an instructor simply left him uniquely qualified.

US Congressman’s Brother Lands No-Bid Contract to Train DHS Snipers
DHS says retired Marine sniper Dan LaLota's firm is uniquely qualified to meet the government’s needs. LaLota tells WIRED his brother, GOP congressman Nick LaLota, played no role in the contract.
