The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Yes, even fashion copied Dick Tracy when it came out. It was definitely a blockbuster but not a movie with staying power.

This is why this budget fight is so important. This is why federal workers are calling on congress to hold the line, even if it means we go without pay . It’s hard …it’s especially ally hard for the military. But, there’s so much at stake.

I think it would be an absolute shame if people found out the Portland Inflatable Frog Costume is still available on Amazon under $40 and it'll be delivered before Halloween. We wouldn't want the regime to be defeated by a frog army, now would we?

Kamala Harris: "I don't know if we can trust what's coming out of the DOJ right now. And that pains me to say that."

Republicans want to give them more tax breaks and fewer people healthcare. This process is unsustainable.

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 12h

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Trump is following the authoritarian playbook by the letter.

He plans to invoke the Insurrection Act and normalize the deployment of troops to his enemies.

Today in an interview with NBC News, Vance said that Trump was considering all of his options for deploying the National Guard to major cities, including invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807, which grants the president emergency powers to deploy troops on U.S. soil.

Federal agents in tactical gear confront a man dressed as a priest during a protest. The overlay text reads:
“BREAKING: Federal judge rules federal agents must wear visible identification, can’t use riot weapons against peaceful protestors. Ruling follows agents pepper spraying and tear gassing journalists and a priest in Chicago. GOOD!”
The image is branded with Occupy Democrats and Judiciary Dems logos at the bottom.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

We are in a recession, by the way. A bad one. Prices are way up. People can't find jobs.

I am plugged into this in a very real way. The stock market is just not important unless you are in the top 10%/1%.

I have not seen a labor market this bad since 2008. The 2nd Great Depression is coming.
