Why are there so few (none?) news stories about individual ICE agents themselves? Who they are, what motivates them, any moral dilemmas they face? Why aren’t protesters trying to get some to speak out?

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.

I saw a video shot from the opposite end of this alley on Instagram, which ends where this video essentially starts. It's mind-boggling to me that so many of these instances are shot with multiple cams from multiple POVs but they're spread across so many different platforms the dots rarely connect.

The mental contortions necessary to even attempt to compare these two things are astounding.

A headline and dek from the New York Times:

Headline: James Indictment Mirrors Her Civil Case Against Trump in Miniature

Dek: The president and New York’s attorney general accused each other of real estate fraud. But the sum involved in her case is $18,933, while millions were at stake in his.

Logan Square neighborhood, Chicago. Man wearing a balaclava in a white, unmarked vehicle, pulls the pin on a tear gas canister and tosses it in the road.

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down.

All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown.

So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

"Wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?" - the President of the United States of America

www.kgw.com/article/news...

Trump seems to back off Portland military plan: 'Am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?'

President Trump had said he will send troops to Portland to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, which he said were "under attack."

Bye-bye Mayor Cop, a piece of shit loser who sacrificed your neighbors to ICE so he could spare himself the prison term he deserves. He leaves behind a legacy of closed libraries, escalating unaffordability, off-the-charts police corruption. An oleaginous creep only liberal pundits could respect.

The Trump administration’s threat to deploy troops in Portland is unlawful.

Here’s a thought.

Focus on protecting the healthcare of the American people.

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

NEW: ICE agents violently arrested a man in a busy Hyattsville, MD intersection this week, at one point brandishing guns and pointing them at bystanders.
