We can't accept the Fascist States of Amerikkka; too many have fought and lost their lives. We must keep the American dream alive; poetic rhetoric aside, our Freedom and Liberty is at stake and history has shown the consequences of backing down.

When they go low, we go high. Never give them an excuse to escalate. They have weapons you don't want to think about.
Nonviolence worked in India.
Use humor to disarm.

If these attackers are "Disappeared" it will help identify them. or their remains.

SeattleSanta @seattlesanta.bsky.social · 15h

True, but the Fascist tRump regime is counting on violence to justify Martial Law and invoking the Insurrection Act. We don't need or want another Kent State. Peaceful protest DO work.

That's already happening; masked, unnamed agents are invading homes and kidnapping people on a daily basis. Also, copy cats are harassing and attacking people too. Communities are documenting the agents and vehicles and calling in police against these attackers with some success. No Carte Blanche.

No court would or should endorse the use of lethal force against government agents; this is literally the definition of insurrection.

In true, "Keep Portland Weird" fashion, protesters at ICE Gestapo headquarters are showing up in increasing numbers dressed in Inflatable Mascot costumes and chicken suits. The Portland Frog is becoming an Icon. Now, they need a name; a label to unite.
Any ideas?

Happy that the hostages are getting returned home
Unhappy that tRump gets any credit.

Good fucking gawd! The insane, dementia-addled degenerate forgot that he was the president on January 6th. Trump is unfit for office. The 25th Amendment cannot come soon enough. 😳👇

This "New Reality" is unacceptable.
Fascism of this administration is unacceptable.
It needs to be resisted every day; every time.
The time for accountability is coming.

There is a silver lining to the Chaos; Neighbors are banding together to escort children to and from school to ensure ICE Gestapo don't use them as hostages to draw out parents for arrest; Watch groups are patrolling neighborhoods for suspicious cars and sending out warnings when ICE Gestapo Invades

Use of lethal force by protesters is exactly what the tRump regime fascists want; it will justify Martial Law and the invocation of the Insurrection Act.
It's a trap.

Sometime; somewhere, records will identify who was where and when.
So many of the ICE Gestapo are pardoned Jan 6th insurrectionists that a return to jail will be justice.

I recently discovered that Columbus day was started in 1892 by Pres. Harrison after 11 Italians were lynched in New Orleans; Columbus enslaved natives; he was no saint.
Give me Indigenous peoples day anytime.

After taking a 50K$ bribe; he's still got his job. I guest this is a prerequisite for being a tRump Regime Fascist. Meanwhile, JD Vance got booted by George Stephanopoulos when he refused to admit to the bribe. Yeah, that ABC/tRump lawsuit still sucks.

The recordings of ICE Gestapo using chemical agents; flash bangs and other non-lethal weapons against NON-violent protesters have resulted in Federal Judges invoking restraints against these tactics.
Any further violence by Federal Agents in Chicago may result in punitive actions; law suits & jail.

Ironically, it was a Stephanopoulos interview that initiated the tRump lawsuit against ABC. Getting Vance shut down was sweet justice.

George Stephanopoulos just gave a master class on how to shut down a lying tRump toady, VP JD Vance. Vance accused the Journalist of touting "Left wing radical Democrat Lies" when Stephanopoulos cut him off and ending the interview. Reminder, ABC was sued by tRump; pay back is a bitch.

A reminder that Columbus Day was created to appease Italy after 11 Italian-Americans were lynched in New Orleans.

Obligatory post in honor of Indigenous Peoples Day. Have a blessed one (unless you're a racist, then you can go to hell).
