Feds accuse clarinet player of interfering with federal arrest of another outside Portland’s ICE building Sun night

Her father said he believes his daughter will prevail in challenging her arrest, calling the allegation an “extremely Trump-ed up assault charge.”

Band member accused of interfering with federal arrest of another, feds allege

"Who’s assaulting who is the real question?” said Oriana Korol's dad. “She was on the sidewalk playing music when the federal officers just bumrushed the band.”

“No amount of solitary confinement of a person while they're pregnant is ever fine,” says Gina Clayton-Johnson.

And yet a California law has explicitly codified the practice for the first time, allowing pregnant women to be held in solitary for 5 days.

On Solitary Confinement, California Officials Side With the Prison System—Again

Organizers wanted to ban the use of solitary confinement against pregnant Californians. They got something else entirely.

Why is Clark County collaborating with ICE to transport people across state lines and incarcerate them for exercising their 1A right of playing the clarinet? This is clearly unconstitutional and unlawful behavior by federal law enforcement and the Clark County Sheriff is assisting.

Korol is a US citizen. Her family hasn’t heard from her since she was taken, public charges haven’t been released—what crime did she even commit? 2nd-Degree Woodwinding?—and there has been no explanation for her “renditioning” across state lines.

We’ve moved into a new phase of Trump lawlessness.

A musician, Oriana Korol, was peacefully playing clarinet with her protest band outside ICE facilities in Portland, OR.

When the band started playing “Ghostbusters,” ICE thugs suddenly poured outside, slammed her into the mud, arrested her and took her to a jail 9 miles away in Vancouver, WA.

Trump claims ICE’s reign of terror in Chicago is targeting the “worst of the worst.”

But out of the 1,000 undocumented immigrants that have swept up, the agency has only cited 10 men with a criminal background.

Don’t believe his lies for a second.
www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Trump says migrants drive violent crime in Illinois. But ICE can’t find many violent criminals.

Masked ICE agents and other federal forces showed up in Chicago to go after gangsters. Instead, they keep catching people who are just living their lives.

Remember when Stephen Miller claimed the Chicago apartment raid was on a building “filled with Tren de Aragua terrorists”?

Well, DHS has now dropped the number of alleged TdA members arrested in the building from 2 to 1.

Just one "verified" Tren de Aragua member and one U.S. citizen with an active warrant were among the 37, DHS said, without saying how it had verified that gang affiliation. Others taken that day, the agency said, were "illegal aliens."

This article seems to be in complete contrast to what @gqmagazine.bsky.social says they are about.

Crucially, GQ is also the home of the New Masculinity. New Masculinity is an expansion of what it means to “be GQ”—one that moves past a rigid definition of manhood into something more open and inclusive. GQ celebrates creativity, embraces change, and creates culture-shaping moments, including GQ Men of the Year and GQ Global Creativity Awards. It puts an emphasis on diversity, gender equality, sustainability and mental health. To be GQ is to be forward-looking, progressive, and cutting-edge.

@gqmagazine.bsky.social what this writer describes as "hard right" is genocidal ideology...he's an unapologetic nazi.
