Also Portland probably deserves it's own thread so the news/discussion doesn't get lost amongst all the other stuff going on.

I'm here to talk Portland. I live very close to what is going on. It's so beyond fucked up and dystopian, I can't even begin to wrap my brain around it. Has anyone heard from the people who've been arrested (rounded up)? I haven’t heard. ETA at least one memo has come out indicating some of the arrests were made by border control. We don't know which agencies did all of the "arrests" and where they are being held.

Listen to what he says. Graffiti and some broken windows. They’ve set homeland security and border patrol on them for graffiti.

They were using federal Bureau of Prisons officers in DC last month.

Aw man, I was nervous that the rumor he died last week meant he was not doing well. RIP.

I just woke up and saw my Times alert and made a thread. Two civil rights icons in two days. Such loss for this country.

To add to the dumpster fire. The boise mayor is now under a recall effort because of her mask mandate, hiring a police chief from Portland, asking for a report with a number of ideas people don’t agree with like sex Ed.
It was brought to a moms group that a teacher in my district has a sm post that says she needs to get laid. By the whole BLM movement
Digging further the woman who is a newly minted us citizen has numerous racist posts. That was a fun email to write to the superintendent and board. I’m horrified

This is in response to rubios tweet with mr Cummings. I did not want to soil mr Lewis’ thread There have been some good responses on twitter. (My favorite was posting a picture of actor Marco Sanchez, who I had a major crush on during his SeaQuest days lol) And I should have posted that here, not in his thread. I apologize.

Does he....does he not know the difference between DACA and the ACA? Or was there something in the DACA ruling that paved the way for an EO on healthcare?

blurnette989, I recall reading somewhere that people like Stephen Miller are attempting to push through the worst of their immigration wet dreams because they feel like it could be now or never. So that’s great.
