“I can hear you don’t have the same accent as me. Where were you born?” This isn’t law enforcement. It’s an explicitly racist gestapo demanding papers over an accent and terrorizing people in public. It isn’t “border security.” Every American should be horrified.
NOW: "Why you want my ID? You trying to steal my identity?" Uber driver at Minneapolis Airport confronts CBP Agents who were checking driver's citizenship, "Why did you shoot that woman?" he added

Laying off federal workers and doubling the price of health insurance was a choice. Making the price of electricity go up double the inflation rate is a choice. And giving 20 billion dollars to Argentina is a choice. They have enough money. They just don’t have any for you.

My former political party is scared to death of these #NoKings rallies. That’s great. So let’s have a gazillion Americans out rallying all around the country on October 18th! Let’s scare the shit out of Trump & his party.
Mike Johnson: "This hate America rally that they have coming up for October 18? The antifa crowd, the pro-Hamas crowd, and the Marxists, they're all gonna gather on the Mall. It is an outrageous gathering for outrageous purposes ... all this has gotta come to an end."

The City of Portland has received inquiries about increased helicopters seen and heard south of downtown and in the inner southeast Brooklyn neighborhood. The helicopters are not owned by City of Portland. The aircraft appear to be federally operated, and the noise generated is not a development the City or our local partners can control. Learn how Portland is standing up for our community at Portland.gov/Federal. #Portland #LovePortland #SanctuaryCity #PortlandStrong

It was a beautiful Sunday in Portland. Farmer’s markets, the Portland Marathon, peaceful protests, and some views of Mt. Hood. This city is vibrant, peaceful, and resilient. We do not need a federal occupation, and we sure as hell don’t want one.

Bukele forced out independent judges, packed the courts with loyalists, then declared a state of emergency that allowed him to arrest and indefinitely detain people without any due process. When we say these guys are advocating for fascist ideas, it’s because they literally are.

DONALD TRUMP IS AN AUTHORITARIAN THUG! HE IS USING THE U.S. MILITARY AS A POLITICAL WEAPON AGAINST AMERICAN CITIZENS.

Having illegitimately attempted to federalize the Oregon National Guard and being blocked because there is no “invasion” or “rebellion” in Portland, Trump continues to try to incite riots and violence by deploying the California National Guard to Portland.

This is unacceptable. This is wrong. This is un-American.

This is authoritarianism, plain and simple.

ICE is a rogue lawless agency that is shredding American democracy. It must be fully dismantled and its duties reimagined elsewhere. This is not salvageable.
ICE arrested Chicago Alderman Jessie Fuentes inside a hospital emergency room—simply for asking them to show a warrant for a man they detained.

This court ruling is a victory for rule of law.  

There is no "rebellion" or "invasion" in PDX to justify federalizing Oregon's National Guard.

The president is not a king and Trump is shredding our Constitution.

So let's protest -- but joyfully and peacefully. Do not get drawn into Trump's cycle of violence. It’s his goal to cite violence to justify more authoritarian power. Let's not let him achieve it.

Let’s show that Portland is a strong community where neighbors take care of each other. opb.org/article/2025/10/04/p…

The two things Democrats really want: *an ACA extension *an end to Russ Vought and Trump deciding on their own whether to spend money appropriated by Congress. If those 2 things were on the CR - neither of which have anything to do with illegal immigrants, I think every D would vote for it.

this is pretty stunning. it appears the guy just refused to move. ICE dude shoves him and he tumbles over backwards and bangs his head.
They are trying to charge the man who falls down with felony assault.
