“Bands of masked men apprehending people in broad daylight in the streets and hauling them off. Disappearing people to a third country,” a former DHS official said. “We’re at an inflection point in history right now and it’s frightening.”

Over recent nights, Portland has seen nazis showing up to nightly protests at ICE. Tonight, three of them were shouting "heil hitler" into megaphones and seig heiling. Two of them were seen on 10/17, tagging along with three other skull-masked nazis and threatening people. #pdx #portland

🧵Hi, I'm the @propublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

You can tell this DOJ investigation of the arrest of a MAGA personality in Portland is serious because it repeatedly misspells his name. (It’s Sortor with two o’s.)

US gestapo has already unleashed teargas, smoke grenades and pepper bullets at protesters outside the ICE field office in Portland, OR. At least 3 people got brutally assaulted and arrested by federal agents. Each of them with multiple feds on them and brought down to the ground. They are being especially violent right now this is horrifying.

Of note are the Gestapo supporting fascists who are also standing in front of the building with signs- they were untouched, of course.

People were just standing and chanting with signs getting grabbed and taken down, others with bear mace straight to the face from hardly an inch away.

News: The New Republic | I’m a Congressional Candidate. I Was Assaulted by ICE.

Interview with Kat Abughazaleh, Dem House candidate who was violently thrown to the ground at a peaceful protest today.

"ICE is being able to operate with impunity... outside of the law. I don’t know who any of the men who have shoved me, pushed me, picked me up, shot pepper balls at my body... They don’t have identification. They’re wearing masks. They’re wearing sunglasses at night..."

A lot of the acting on Alien Earth is pretty bad, but the writing is decent

Trump admin sure intervenes in ways that seem to protect powerful child predators a lot, but go on trusting the plan of whatever

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred Washington state from enforcing a law that would have required priests to report evidence of child abuse learned during confession.

The Trump administration had intervened on the side of the Catholic clergy.

@NewsDesk pretty cool that the shooter was inspired by the sitting US president

SUMMARY: A woman is accused of killing her in-laws with toxic mushrooms in a Beef Wellington dish. The Trump-Musk relationship deteriorates publicly, with Musk calling for Trump's impeachment and allegations of Trump being linked to the Epstein files. Tensions in the Ukraine escalate as Russia launches strikes on Kyiv. Democrats celebrate the fallout of the Trump-Musk feud, while Tesla shares plunge significantly amid the controversy.

I've uncovered the human mind. I was in a debate with the human mind.

Hey so yeah it does seem like seizure of actual state power is more or less complete and jurisprudence doesn’t matter because a critical mass of law enforcement are MAGA loyalists and they’re all just smirking and waiting for everyone to finally notice
