This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.
They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

Y'all realize, of course, that if they do this successfully, there's absolutely nothing stopping them from listing gay people, Black people, or people under 5'6" as violent extremists, right? This lets them brand entire demographics as terrorists under FBI labeling if it is not stopped.
The FBI is preparing to label transgender people as “violent extremists” in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder:

This isn’t just! It’s unconstitutional! It’s hypocritical! It’s immoral! It’s illegal! It’s wrong! It’s unprecedented!
They don’t care about any of those things.
They laugh at handwringing.
It’s about acquiring & wielding power.
You can’t shame them, you have to defeat them.

This is the shit they’re defunding. Scientists can make your teeth see so you can get back to balling and they want to take that away from you forever
TIL that for some people with irreparably damaged corneas, you can pull one of their teeth, drill a hole in it, install an artificial lens, sew it into their cheek (so tissue attaches), then pull it out and stick it in their damaged eye, and ... it works fine!?! www.nbcboston.com/news/health/...
Man, 34, is no longer blind after tooth is implanted in eye in 'crazy' surgery
Tooth-in-eye surgery sounds like science fiction, but it can help people with severely damaged corneas see again. A patient and his doctors describe what it's like.

Two big takeaways from yesterday. First, by “joking” that if the U.S. were at war in 2028 there would be “no more elections,” brushing aside the constitutional mandate for regularly scheduled votes. Then later, when a hot mic caught him telling French President Macron that

The fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. It may not be the battle we wanted, but it is the one we face. The state of our democracy and the future of our country depends on our willingness to take risks, ignore the naysayers, weather setbacks and fight fiercely for democracy.
The Survival of Democracy Depends on Our Willingness to Fight The Survival of Democracy Depends on Our Willingness to Fight
Justice Riggs is right. We should not have to fight for democracy. But the reality is that we must.

And when they've broken everything and made people's lives worse in dozens of different ways, the GOP response is going to be complaining that the government is broken and we need to try New Things instead.
No, it was working. They broke it.
Don't let them weasel out of responsibility.

It's remarkable how much of this administration's agenda has been laser focused on simply making life worse for ordinary Americans.
Russell Vought, acting head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, has canceled plans to introduce new rules designed to limit the ability of US data brokers to sell Americans’ most sensitive data, credit history, and Social Security numbers.

We need more regulation of AI, not less. This is so dangerous and shortsighted.
🚨NEWS: Amid dire warnings about artificial intelligence, Republicans are trying to sneak a line into their massive budget bill that would prevent states and cities from regulating or limiting Big Tech's deployment of AI in any way for at least a decade. www.levernews.com/gop-chooses-...
GOP Chooses AI Dominance Over Democracy
House lawmakers writing the upcoming budget bill just snuck in a provision that would wipe from the books every state law regulating artificial intelligence.

Missouri Rep. Keri Ingle just obliterated House Majority Whip Hardy Billington,who, at 72, is still out here defending child marriage. Disgusting. She said what needed to be said, and she didn’t hold back. Protecting kids shouldn’t be a partisan issue, but apparently some grown men in power think

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.
