Just returned home from the anti-ICE protest in Portland today. A 100% peaceful crowd that the Portland Police Department (PPD) estimated to be "in the thousands" marched past ICE's Portland HQ.

ICE, of course, responded with a barrage of tear gas and chemical rounds to suppress free speech.
Thousands march to ICE facility in South Portland
A large protest took place in South Portland today from Elisabeth Caruthers Park to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

NEW: Trump’s approval among Catholics falls to a historic low.

A rising movement of Catholics, emboldened by Pope Leo, is turning against MAGA.

With over 20,000 members, we are the fastest-growing Catholic group in America.

To the MAGA purveyors of cruelty and lies — we will defeat you.
Under Pope Leo XIV, American Catholics Are Uniting to Defeat MAGA Authoritarianism
Trump’s support among U.S. Catholics has plummeted to an all-time low of 39%, a stark decline over the year. This is no accident. Under Leo XIV, we're working to defeat Trump-Vance authoritarianism.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

Usually dictators are more subtle about looting the treasury, because gross corruption is often a part of what gets them overthrown.

It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

Here’s a gift link to a NY Times story explaining Trump’s huge financial claims against the U.S. government and how he may use his position as president to order underlings to transfer taxpayer money to him personally. Outrageous.

Is Elon a pedo? We couldn't say.

Did Elon repeatedly try to invite himself to Epstein's pedo island 5 years after Epstein served time and registered as a sex offender? Yep, he sure did.

Do people who aren't pedos beg to party on pedo island? 🤔 #TeslaTakedown
NEW: Elon Musk has insisted that Jeffrey Epstein invited him to the notorious island and he declined. But new emails show the opposite -- Musk was practically begging to party with Epstein in the Caribbean, years after Epstein's sex convictions were public knowledge

🚨TONIGHT’S PROTEST IN MINNEAPOLIS IS INSANE:

CNN is STUNNED. Share this widely!

“I've covered many protests… I've not seen a crowd like this before.” It’s 8 degrees. “It is freezing, but nothing, nothing is stopping these people.”

This isn’t a rally. It’s a movement. @calltoactivism.bsky.social

The weather is crazy here right now but Chicago always shows up!
It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.

But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

After the primary rally in LA today, I dropped on by the MDC.

DHS has dropped a ton of tear gas - I can taste it through the gas mask.

Hundreds of people here, which is a lot for a mid-week midday MDC protest. The main march had thousands, easily. Maybe 10k

In an interview in October, Howard Lutnick said after he met Epstein in 2005, he vowed to “never be in a room with that disgusting person ever again.”

Documents released today by Trump's DOJ say otherwise.
