ICE ripped apart my rosary (literally tore the crucifix off of it and tore it into pieces) and fucked up my shoulder and back. they drug me inhumanely down a fucking driveway instead of give me one goddamn attempt at standing up.

MLK jr said more than "protest peacefully." Try learning a few other quotes to fully understand his messaging.

Johnson: Miss Grijalva has not yet had a scheduled date because she was elected after the house was out of session,

Gallego: You don't want her to be on the Epstein discharge.

Johnson: You guys are experts at red herrings.

Would love to see some City or County people comment on the Feds outside of the Portland ICE Building threatening to shoot an ambulance driver and kidnapping a brass band player.

Is that finally reason to start taking action? Pritzker is starting to contemplate arresting them. Get on the same boat!

🧵I’m on the road for another 2 weeks, but everyone needs to pay attention to the Supreme Court tomorrow (Wednesday)

The fascist robes are taking the extraordinary step of rehearing Louisiana v. Callais, which would cement one-party rule for at least another generation.

The Supreme Court Might Net Republicans 19 Congressional Seats in One Fell Swoop

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

I love that the same thing that made people shy away from Portland (arguably the 2020 protests) is the same thing bringing their love back. This town is going to keep showing up for people, using a diversity of tactics, regardless of what non-PDXers think. That’s what integrity looks like.

over 5k (mostly naked bike riders) 😎

Waiting for the people upset about "chem trails" to get upset at the government for tear-gas bombing residential neighborhoods in Portland & Chicago.

After the protests in 2020, people who had been gassed had residual health issues.

We can expect the federal gov't goons will plant fascist thugs into the peaceful protests on Saturday. They will do what they did in Seattle & Portland in 2020. We can expect it. They are weak. They are desperate. They know they are about to go down.

I want to know this too. It's not like they have a session of Congress to attend right now. So they should have plenty of free time ...

Peter Collinson @petercollinson.bsky.social · 1h

For existing. Where are the Democratic members of Congress hollering to make this end? Why aren't they ALL out there on the front lines with the people of LA, Portland and Chicago? Especially Chicago where it appears most of the brutality is happening?
