This was not long before the tear gassing in Portland today. It wasn't the protestors who were out of control and dangerous.

100% agree. I'm glad I went and would do it again - but that doesn't mean I'm not incensed (though unsurprised) at how we were treated.
They’re so intimidated by the protests all they have left is to try to terrorize people into not showing up.
Don’t let them win.

ask yourself who makes these events "dangerous", because it's not the kids, pets, and elderly people with walkers

To be clear, we were thousands of regular folks at an entirely non-violent march that passed by the ICE building. They let loose chemical agents on families with little children. Elderly in wheelchairs. For no reason. The cruelty was the point. Attempting to provoke a riot was the point.
ICE just tear-gassed the shit out of the entirely peaceful union protest here in Portland. Children. Elderly. Thousands of people exercising our First Amendment rights.

the council has done their part to enable the mayor to start punishing the owner of this building for these offenses, now it's time for the mayor to start using this power to penalize the owner of this building, stuart lindquist, to the fullest extent that his office can
Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

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.

Just went to multi-union anti-ICE protest near Portland ICE building. Big crowd, mostly nurses, educators, SEIU workers, & families. Resolute but calm & peaceful. Big strong ICE men were scared & tear gassed us anyway. I'm ok but won't soon forget elderly folks & babies in distress. #ICEoutforGood

The terror that ICE and CBP have inflicted on the children of the Twin Cities is, by itself, a crime of scandalous proportions that will forever stain this country's moral fabric, and all those responsible should never know another day of peace. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.
This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

2004 me cannot believe I'm fervently agreeing with Bill Kristol, but ... what he said.
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

🧵. Abolish ICE. They're beyond repair.
ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.
