Good. Even if this doesn’t work, it’s time to go on offense.

If the left was as violent as they love to claim, these goons would be afraid to ever show themselves in public, masked or not.

Next time anyone says that the left is violent, just remind them that there are not hundreds of dead ICE agents in the streets. If the left were in the least bit inclined to violence, we would be seeing those dead agents.

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

Documents Allege a Federal Agent at Portland ICE Threatened to Shoot an Ambulance Driver

Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

I am struck by how lack of standing seems to so frequently evade court challenge to unconstitutional government actions.

It's an odd thing missing, given that this problem was solved in ancient Athens: for certain matters the entire citizen body ('ho boulomenos,' 'whoever wishes') had standing.

Trumpers decided at some point that his first term ended sometime around January 2020, and attribute everything after (COVID, lockdowns, civil unrest) to Biden, despite him not being president yet. There needs to be a name for this phenomenon.

Mueller, She Wrote @muellershewrote.com · 3d

Help me out here. When did Biden take office? Who was the FBI director on January 6th? Who appointed that FBI director?

The people who want violent protests to happen are Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, Tom Homan, and other senior appointees in his admin. They are doing everything they possibly can to provoke people to violence and it is obvious that is what they hope for daily.

I guess my question would be, what's Johnson's goal here? How long can he stall? Is all of this worth a couple weeks' delay...or is he expecting something else to happen that will make congressional votes meaningless?

This sense of entitlement is exactly why (among so many other reasons) Trump didn't deserve it. He doesn’t care about peace. He just wanted a shiny prize.

On the 18th we need to be vigilant for increased violence and provocation by both law enforcement and counter-protestors, both of which will be used to try to justify more violence and authoritarianism.

Has he "truthed" about it yet?

Odd Kelvin @ok616.bsky.social · 5d

Kind of bizarre that the president who's been threatening other countries nonstop, bombed Yemen and Iran, keeps blowing up random boats in the Caribbean, and is trying to incite a civil war as we speak was ever considered a "peace prize" candidate to begin with, but here we are.

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.
