Totally not troubling at all. What I’m about to say might sound like conspiracy theory but I have a hunch ICE let them do this under the guise of not enough agents, not enough time, but really hoping one of them would act out of line and people would respond with violence.

I'm going to say this until I'm in a camp myself but the entire world collectively needs to stop looking at ICE agents as if they are people. they are not. and there is no utility in making arguments that dehumanizing them is as bad as what they do to their victims. they dehumanized themselves.

It’s a perfect snapshot of the state of this country. Someone on his team starts something bad out of incompetence or malice and he goes and blows it up to be bigger than it is and blames someone else.

Asked what he would do to stop the deployment of federal troops to Portland, Chuck Schumer replies: "I'd hope some of them [Republicans] would join us in legislation to prevent it from happening."

"I know they're loyal to Trump and does whatever he wants but this is so far stepping over the line"

Not the first case similar to this, but this extremely unsettling. Feels like we’re descending into a new ring of fascism.
Superintendent Ian Roberts of Des Moines Public Schools was detained Friday by federal agents. The reason for his detention was not clear, according to the school district.

Roberts’ whereabouts are also, alarmingly, unclear. trib.al/whQu81b

It’s not paying sexual abuse victims that’s the problem. It’s hiring and harboring someone who represents the city that sexually abuses people. Choosing language that puts the burden on victims needs to stop. Do better LA Times.

I truly feel like if we (all of us) do nothing we will look back at this as a turning point. One that will be very difficult to turn away from.

Had a chance to stop a member of the Guard and ask whether they carried any guidance on their person about Posse Comitatus Act (and/or a list of "exceptions" like the troops in LA were given per DOJ). He didn't seem sure what PCA is but did show me this doc he had in his pocket on rules of force.

Absolute dumbest shit I’ve seen. Do not sit at protest for any reason.
This needs to go viral:
We are being informed that on June 14th, Proud Boys, etc., plan to infiltrate the protests, attack the police and destroy property.

If violence breaks out at your protest sit DOWN.
Leave only the provocateurs standing

Please share far and wide. Do not let them provoke you

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)
