NEW from DSM: A video published on YouTube showed a documentary filmmaker ordered to back away while filming the Eugene Police and subsequently learned that the department has its own "press."

We've spoken to experts who agree this is very bad.

Read about it ⤵️

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

With *everything* going on and in the lead up to the No Kings protests this weekend can I interest you in the rights tried and tested playbook? Feucht may have mastered it but this is the playbook many instigators out there have adopted as their MO. Be informed and stay safe!

1/2 Last week, the #EugeneOR City Council unanimously voted to turn off the city's Flock cameras temporarily while they research.

Then, EPD Chief Skinner announced the arrest of seven people in relation to burglaries targeting the Asian community, citing Flock as key in their investigation.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing? 2? Questions I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up. Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

ICE agents blocked an ambulance that was trying to take an injured protester to hospital.

"We are still not being allowed to leave by ICE officers.” an EMT said on radio

When driver tried to get out, an agent yelled, "DON’T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN, I WILL SHOOT YOU"

Per WSJ, the Trump regime and Bannon are bragging they’re “ruling Congress with an iron fist” and that it is “largely ceremonial” like the Russian Duma.

Shameful. Not what the founders intended. 🇺🇸 @MarshaBlackburn @RepTimBurchett @AndyOgles
