In case you're curious what your DA is doing instead of standing with the community who got viciously tear gassed by ICE this weekend:
1. Covered trial call for a photo op;
2. Prosecuting a misdo resist claim against an
ICE protester to run cover for the PPB cop who broke that protester's arm.

We cannot have normal responses in abnormal times. This moment requires incredible imagination, leadership, and a willingness to step outside the bounds of normalcy to protect everything we hold dear.

I also don’t want to discount that police are in a genuinely weird spot. The Feds have power over them jurisdictionally.
That doesn’t mean they can’t do anything!
They could be tracking and documenting ICE incidents, collecting info on munitions, turn evidence over to the District Attorney, etc

Police should not get paid to only address Portland protestors & not protect Portlanders when federal agents have crossed horrific lines
There are ways to act that are not directly interfering with ICE if that poses a legal problem, and we need leadership to get creative in outlining/directing that

People that wanted to simply “reform”ICE (whatever that means) are ready to abolish it after ICE tear gassed a crowd of peaceful protestors without issuing a dispersal order this past weekend.
Their own cruelty is radicalizing people, and these same people see that our systems can’t withstand it

I’ve spent years believing public debates were a waste of time but if you body your opponent so badly that their employer has to pretend it never happened that’s actually cool as hell
seth harp (writer of The Fort Bragg Cartel) debated ross douthat (from the epstein files, nyt oped writer) about foreign policy and it went so poorly for ross that he refuses to release the video
![Seth: Hi [redacted]. Is the NYT still planning to publish the interview I did with Ross three weeks ago?
[redacted]: Hey Seth, we've been working through the edit and it's looking like we aren't going to be able to make it work. We were kind of pummeled by the news cycle in the last 6 weeks and are going to pivot away from this story. Thanks for the time you put into it and for your expertise.
Seth: Unbelievable cowardice on Ross's part and a giant waste of my time. I'm going to make it known what actually happened: Ross challenged me to a debate on foreign policy, got crushed, and doesn't have the intellectual or journalistic integrity to air the footage.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6kuoujcow7dawloaxqj4qk5d/bafkreigabgeutmciebgntibrfjultgawhhyijntayg5ellc7aqtybntqwe@jpeg)

Can’t wait for @schumer.senate.gov to bungle this opportunity to free Americans of the tyranny of Trump and Miller’s DHS.
Instead of letting it shut down he will announce some deal full of concessions to MAGA that saves DHS funding as a win, & we’ll all hate him even more than we did the day before

Btw, Palantir is one of the largest contractually rewarded surveillance tech companies providing ICE with surveillance tech that they use to track down & kidnap immigrants.
Chuck Schumer also receives bribes as campaign donations from Palantir lobbyists. 👇🏾

Adobe is not really in the creative software business anymore. They are in the digital wealth extraction business. I wish more comics publishers would prioritize moving away from Adobe.
Adobe announced it's killing off Animate (formerly Flash), abandoning millions of artists who depend on the software while continuing its push into AI-heavy toolsets.

We are at a crossroads. The Police Union can choose to stand with Portlanders, to stand against fascism, or they can continue to obstruct policies that would reign the feds in because they see a kinship with corrupt law enforcement and not with the good people of our city.
There is a choice here.
There is a choice here.
The current Portland City Councilors who are endorsed by the police union are:
Smith (D1), Ryan (D2), Novick (D3), Zimmerman (D4), Clark (D4)
Listing them because the Portland Police Association is making it a fight to have a masking ban (for law enforcement) and a tear gas ban.

It's so crazy because all the cops have to do is side WITH the people, and stop doing fuckshit, and all of their problems would disappear.
But they're allergic to not being the problem, so they firmly plant their flag in perpetuating their own negative image, & everyone else's poor opinion of them

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

Step up or step off, @mayorkwilson.bsky.social. It’s ok to admit that you should just be running a company instead of a city in turmoil.
Hey @mayorkwilson.bsky.social, it’s long past time to enforce the teargas prohibition edict at the ICE facility!
If you aren’t made for this moment (and it certainly seems like you aren’t), you need to tender your resignation, effective immediately!
Because right now you’re complicit in this!
