Shout out to the Naked Bikeride who today ran hundreds of naked people directly through the line of federal officers and effectively blocked them from assaulting demonstrators. Being naked on a bike goes on the list of effective tactics if you get at least 500 of them and the city loves you.

Border Patrol “attempted to arrest a plumber working inside a Logan Heights home but left empty-handed after the homeowner refused them entry.

The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

Federal immigration operations target San Diego neighborhoods, sparking community resistance

Federal immigration agents conducted operations in Logan Heights and Southeast San Diego on Friday, with community members capturing footage of the enforcement actions.

Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;

Riot cops standing a street with less-lethal weapons, and one in a gas mask has a cloud of pepper dust around his helmet.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

I’m horrified to hear that two people were kidnapped by ICE in Evanston this morning.

There's one huge difference between the 2025 Portland protests & the ones in 2020. Today, the ~100 anti-fascist protesters at the ICE facility are sandwiched between the feds who have MAGA-friendly media embedded w/ them, and ~15 MAGA-friendly content creators/counter-protesters out in the crowd.

Said more explicitly: Democrats are doing everything they can to stop Republicans from hurting themselves. It’s too easy to leave this at “let them get what they voted for,” because the reality is that when they suffer, it drags us all down.

Jeffries on Fox News Sunday: "My friends on other aisle seem to think believe healthcare is an extraneous issue. We don't believe it's an extraneous issue. It's a central issue...the states most affected are all ones Trump won...so this is not a partisan fight. We're fighting for everyday Americans"

Just today, here's a story from the @chicago.suntimes.com -- not only are ICE/feds masking themselves constantly (and some local cops too, I've seen it), now they're driving around without license plates. More "laws for thee, whatever I wanna do for me" in action chicago.suntimes.com/news/2025/10...

Federal immigration officers wear masks, no name tags — now some drive cars without license plates

The Sun-Times has documented four unmarked cars carrying federal officers without required plates, offering another way to shield their identities. Federal officials say they’re meeting regulations.

If you wrote such a fascist character in a story it would be deemed a silly caricature.

Portland police arrested a right-wing agitator at the ICE facility. Protesters say this man punched a woman in the face on video. I’ll update if I see the video, but it seems very likely given how fast PPB responded and what everyone is saying.

Please reach out if you have more info about Joseph William Behling of Manchester NH, previously of Hooksett NH! Allegedly “Marcus NH” of Patriot Front & the New England Active Club, and involved in Patriot Front’s efforts to recruit teens, Behling is potentially a serviceman in the US Navy.

A triptych of images of various points in Joseph Behling of Manchester NH's life. The first is him at his Londonderry High School Class of 2021 graduation ceremony. He wears: a blue graduation gown and cap; a corded sash in red, white, and blue; a medal with a red, white, and blue ribbon with several pins attached; and half-frame glasses. He holds his graduation certificate in its shut holder. He grins, blithely. The second is from a Patriot Front photo op, taken in front of a concrete wall in a wooded area somewhere in or around Manchester NH, during December 2022. A man who is allegedly Joseph Behling holds his right fist to his heart, and conceals his face with a white gaiters and tan baseball cap with a black variant of the Vermont Republic flag. He also wears what appears to be a Colombia Ascender softshell jacket, khaki pants, and glasses. The wall behind him has been vandalized with graffiti, of which a Patriot Front fasces symbol is somewhat visible. The third is allegedly of Behling during Patriot Front's standout against SatanCon in Boston MA during April 2023. A white man of average build, he wears a white gaiter that covers the lower half of his face, including his nose, black aviators, a tan baseball cap with a Patriot Front flag patch on the front, and a navy blue zip-up jacket with a hood. The right sleeve has a pair of patches: the Christian identity flag, and an Appeal to Heaven flag. His right arm is extended outward, and he clutches a cross (with a figure of Jesus crucified upon it) as if attempting to ward something off.
