A reminder: it’s ICE that’s creating the violence — all they have to do to end it is to stop attacking people.

He’s so badly trying to force a violent reaction. I hope no one gives that reaction until more people are willing to do something about it.
Edit: I say “he” but I want it clear that I don’t believe this is a Trump the person thing. The guy is an absolute moron and is extremely weak-willed. This shit has Stephen Miller written all over it. This is a Trump administration thing. I don’t want people to attribute traits to that pathetic little orange loser that aren’t his. It makes him seem competent.
He totally is and the problem is that people in Portland are armed to the teeth and I don’t doubt something will happen.
This will not end well for anyone, and it sucks.
Local news had live coverage outside the facility last night, there were like 4 guys standing around.
The Sinclair rhetoric was through the roof, overlayed on 4 guys looking bored at 11 PM. No protest to be seen.
The big action in the past couple days has all been in Chicago, but the governor of IL talks about how to resist, so Trump doesnt dare
I think I heard that the name for this military operation was “Operation Epstein”. So, to reduce confusion when talking about this, it’s probably best to mention the operation by name:
“Today in Operation Epstein, Trump deployed troops to Portland”
I live in Portland, this image from today pretty well sums up what’s going on here.
So like, what happens if a subset of the troops don’t open fire on “leftists”? Is that the beginning of a civil war? There’s gotta be SOME folks with a conscious in the military.
Americans getting a taste of their own medicine huh?
Yep. They are even salivating at the possibility of a military dictatorship now for some reason.
Having the military depose your king is how you end up as a third world country. Unironnically.
Real Boston massacre vibes going on here? How did that end for the king?
The king during the American Revolution, King George III died in 1821 at 81, the revolution wasn’t that bad for him really.
I didn’t mean he died. What I meant was that he lost.
Is “little modern precedent” a good framing of this? I guess if you work for nerdy Lex Luther it is.
