We have got to get the feds out of this city. Attacking clarinetists in a band of banana suits is just gross and pathetic. We don't need or want that darkness here.

That is standard procedure for DHS and ICE to keep detainees from counsel and to traumatize families.

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

Can’t believe this needs to be said but don’t shine lasers at helicopters.

It’s most likely a commercial pilot or life flight and you’re not shooting ICE down from the sky like a space invader you’re just giving them your direct location so they can turn you in to the FAA.

Don’t be a mark.

I cannot stress enough how hardcore it is to ride your bikes naked while taunting people who can shoot pepper bullets into your nutsack without repercussions

The first article said the first frog costumed protestor got pepper sprayed in the butt without affecting him, but ICE maliciously sprayed him in his air vent. The protester said his famous bit when he came back to protest the next day, but I bet it bothered him more than he let on.

ICE pepper-sprayed a protester in a frog costume. Now the “Portland Frog” is a symbol of absurd resistance

"Is this really what you guys consider to be 'domestic terrorists?'"

I frequently say you don't need to protest. You don't! There are a thousand other ways to push back on fascism if protesting doesn't feel comfortable or safe for you!

But if you CAN go, this 10/18 #NoKings thing is really a key protest to participate in. Be part of it, friends.

NO KINGS, y'all! October 18! Find a rally near you and GO!

About 17 miles south of Portland:
ICE agents who told school officials they were conducting surveillance outside Wood Middle School in Wilsonville on Monday were asked to leave by school staff. www.kgw.com/article/news...

ICE agents asked to leave middle school campus near Wilsonville

A letter from the school district said school officials told ICE agents they were parked on private property and asked them to leave, which they did shortly after.

The “major news outlets” should make sure they are talking to the various resistance groups… including the Frogs and Dinosaurs from Portland Oregon!

If the Pentagon doesn’t want to inform the American people of their activities I’m sure others can fill in the gap!

Major news outlets are standing together and refusing to sign. ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News have all rejected a new Pentagon policy that would impose unprecedented restrictions on news gathering.

Johnson actually said this, about naked people on a cold rainy day: “the most threatening thing I’ve seen yet was the naked bicyclers in Portland who were protesting ICE.
I mean, it’s getting really ugly.”

Uh, threatening... how? Hidden weapons 😬?

The woman they’re dragging from her car is a US citizen, and they’re abusing her in plain sight. No one should ever be treated like this.

The most threatening thing he saw was naked bicyclists? How closely did he examine these naked bicyclists? Did it trigger his porn buddy alert?

Just a complete fucking fraud. Lying for his one true lord, Donald Trump

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

Portland is making the Republicans look like the thin skinned weaklings that they are.

They love to talk tough but it’s a party of absolute cowards who are terrified of everything.
