The Vought administration is risking your life in so many different ways. Gutting NOAA will have devastating implications for families, communities, the nation, and the world.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Synes det er trist at du velger å lese mine innspill som negativ kritikk; det var ikke min intensjon.

Og nei, jeg mener ikke at disruptiv protest = hærverk & vold.

Men grensene går ikke på samme sted for alle, og vi lever i en polarisert verden med stadig mer tabloid presse.

I live in EU/EEC zone, and have jumped though all the required hoops on my three pcs.

None of them have been offered ESU, despite me being logged in, synch'd, backed up and with secure boot, 22H2 etc...

I have tried to get ESU for three days now, reading guides, testing and checking. No luck. :(

Portland's famous Unipiper was spotted at the Portland ICE protest where he played his bagpipes in front of Santa, Mr. Potato Head, Garfield and more -- all while surrounded by bubbles.

"Oppressors" er ikke i flertall. Der er støttespillere, de på gjerdet og en del som er motstandere, men passive.

God oppførsel som demonstrant appellerer til de som står på sidelinjen, tenker jeg. Mer enn hærverk og vold, ihvertfall.

...og bruker man de sistnevnte - så gjør man seg lett å ta.

Ikke gni øynene, men prøv å blunke mye.

Vi fikk teste bittelitt CS da jeg var i forsvaret. Ikke kjekt.
Løp mot vinden sa de til oss, men det kan nok være praktisk vrient mange steder.

Skal du på demo, så allier deg med noen, "bring a friend". Pass på hverandre. Og vær grei. ;)

Det er litt hjelp i å vite at 2 av 3 du møter ikke har følt det du selv opplever.

Empati er en ting, erfaring noe annet.

Selv de som vil det beste for deg, skjønner ofte ikke hvordan du har det.

Skjønte ikke helt selv heller, før livet lærte meg ting.

And when they say they are anti DEIA, spell out Accessability as well, even if it is a mouthful.

Among the people who've lost their jobs due to Trump and MAGA are disabled veterans. And other people with sensory impairment, like reduced hearing or vision, loss of mobility and so forth.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
