This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law.

May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.

Damn right I back the blue. And by that I mean the United States Postal Service. Even more specifically, the six foot goth girl mail carrier I just saw walking her route.

I think things like this are so important for people who don't see them transpire, or the videos of people's entire tent homes going into dumpsters. Interviewing people about what they lost in a sweep:

Asia Fields @asiafields.bsky.social · Feb 4

People who experienced homeless encampment sweeps in Washington state and Tennessee wrote about the impact it had on their lives.

Our team @propublica.org added these to our page featuring stories from people across the country: projects.propublica.org/impact-of-ho...

A notecard with the prompt, "What is something that was important to you that was taken in a sweep? How did it impact you?" The handwritten statement below says, "My momma’s ashes were displayed on my table in my tent. I came back one day — and EVERYTHING was gone, including her ashes. They were clearly labled ‘In loving memory — my mom, my best friend…’ and her name. Her ashes were all that I had left of her. No one stored my stuff. I called tons of places and NO ONE knew anything. It is very difficult for me still, everyday. No warning, no remorse, nothing."

I am a bit of a broken record on this, but are local DAs going to let this continue indefinitely? The ICE agents didn't have any kind of warrant, didn't identify themselves, and then recklessly started firing. Let them argue federal immunity.

Alan Elrod @aselrod.bsky.social · Aug 17

A man understandably refused to hand over his ID or get out of the car for a bunch of masked thugs who refused to identify themselves.

And when he drove away, they opened fire on him.

This isn’t how you do any sort of enforcement when your goal is to uphold the law. This is gangsterism.

We asked people who experienced "sweeps" of homeless encampments to write about it in their own words.

In Portland, Teresa Stratton told us about how her husband’s ashes were taken in a removal:

Handwritten text on a notecard: My husbands ashes; I made me feel alone scared, empty, now I wonder where he is and if he's all still in his urn and if hes ok and I hope he's not in the dump

he fucking hates it here

#bleach #bleachfanart #nnoitra #nnoitragilga #oopsallblorbos

Fan art of the character Nnoitra Gilga from the manga/anime “Bleach” in three different poses and outfits. In one, he rests his elbow on a table and his chin on his hand, fingers covering his left eye, glaring at the viewer. He wears a worn-out black sweater and many gold earrings and rings, plus an oversized gold chain necklace, and his hair is pulled back into a messy bun. In another with a birds-eye view perspective, he lies on his back with his legs up an invisible wall and his hands in his pants pockets. He wears shiny black boots with white soles, an olive green plaid suit with the pant legs rolled up above the boots and the blazer buttoned up with no shirt underneath, with the position causing the bottom of the blazer to ride up, exposing his midriff. He also wears a gold watch, a simple gold chain necklace, and several gold earrings. His hair is loose and splayed out on the floor, with a lock covering his left eye. The third is a waist-up portrait, turned slightly to the viewer’s left, where he is not clothed but wears a lot of gold jewelry, with his right hand holding a smoking cigarette up near his face. The jewelry consists of a large, spiked hoop earring along with several other earrings and studs; a large paperclip-chain necklace that includes an oversized,diamond-studded gold safety pin; a plain arm band; a tongue stud; a set of bangles; a bracelet connected to a pinky ring by a chain; and several other rings on his fingers. His hair is braided over his left shoulder, tied with a ribbon that has three breads on one end and a bell on the other. He makes a snarling expression at the viewer while sticking out his tongue, pressing the ring finger of his right hand down in his tongue. He also wear a pair of circular glasses with green frames, but the left eye of the glasses is black, like sunglasses.

"Liberals already ruined it" shows the plot here. These aren't impartial law enforcement officers protecting all citizens. They are partisan paramilitary militia, terrorizing domestic opponents.

Marisa Kabas @marisakabas.bsky.social · Aug 16

While masked agents were violently attacking a delivery worker this morning, bystanders repeatedly asked to see their badge numbers but they refused.

Bystander: You guys are ruining this country, you know that, right?

Agent: Liberals already ruined it.

People need to get more comfortable with shame: you see a person in need and can't help. It feels bad. It SHOULD feel bad. The solution is not to invent some wild slander about them to quiet the little voice in your head screaming about how wrong it all is.

VISA CAN'T HANG UP ON YOU UNTIL YOU STOP TALKING. YAPPERS, THIS IS YOUR TIME TO SHINE.

Talk in circles! Loop back to the same points! Take a minute to "remember" a word! Your goal isn't to change their minds, it's to keep talking for as long as possible to waste their money and clog call centers.

Suzanne ✨🌑 @tendermiasma.com · Jul 31

Visa says they're still drowning today! Payment processors think that we're not organized enough to keep this up but it's we either prove them wrong or submit to global censorship so it's. not much of a contest. Keep calling all 4!!
