While officers cleared the sidewalk and street in front of the Portland ICE facility, ERO agents ran out of the side for a targeted arrest. Lots of tear gas.

I would note that this disdain points in one direction. These legacy media outlets have been quick to cover and hype tea party protests, anti-mask/anti-vax protests, and countless other examples of what they call “real Americans” engaging in protest.

For sure some of the legacy media outlets are downplaying the protests because they’re aligned with Trump, but I think an even bigger factor is how many elite journalists have a patrician disdain for the idea that politics can happen in the streets and not just the CNN green room.

On the way to a big protest, this got us to pull over: a retirement community including many in wheelchairs or with walkers who rolled out to the street corner to express their 1A rights. ✊ Chatted with inspiring folks who’ve been civil rights advocates for decades. 🇺🇸

Thousands are flooding the streets of Chattanooga, Tennessee, a deep red state, to protest Trump’s king-sized ego and authoritarian grip.

This isn’t a fringe movement. This is No Kings Day in action.

America’s had enough. The crown is cracking.

The No Kings March in Chicago is one of the largest gatherings I’ve seen here. Looking down from by the river, the crowd stretches for blocks down Michigan Ave and wraps around Wacker Dr. This video is from a few minutes ago and the end of the protest is nowhere in sight.
