ICE is assaulting and at war with americans. we are all their enemy. no other way to look at it at this point
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

@albomp.bsky.social is 'urging protestors to show restraint' when Herzog visits.
I think @albomp.bsky.social should frame this memento of Israel's work in Gaza as a gift for Isaac Herzog and present it to him during his visit.

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.
