federal agents commit assault against people exercising the right to peaceful protest.

Could be they might move out if thousands of peaceful protesters moved in. **Peaceful** is the key word here.

“Swells” into the hundreds??? Like Hundreds is an emergency which warrants a military response. Fake emergency.

Arresting protesters ay? Got a love the democracy we live in. Soon the streets will be clean and trump will say “look! No protesters! Everyone supports me!”

If the states don’t open up the current state volunteer militias that can’t be federalized with enough people that can outnumber these ICE agents, they are going to start arresting the governors. Once that happens it will be very difficult to stop this without things tipping over.
I know the large protests looks and feel great, but they will just use the unofficial right wing militias to start shooting up the protest by simply not putting resources into finding people that are willing to do it. We all know their is no shortage of those people.

obstruction is not peaceful protest.
violent confrontation will not change their tactics. MAGA giggles when we shout, they get turned on when tear gas is dispensed.
the only legal justification Trump can use to bring in the National Guard is if ICE is unable to enforce immigration law. do not give them this justification.
this is a optics war. when the optics become a liability the tactics will change.
don’t give the media clips of tear gas and shouting. infect every clip with people holding posters saying, “Release the Epstein files”.
beyond prosecuting these terrible crimes, the issue has created a fissure within the Republican Party.
we should use the Epstein issue to destroy MAGA’s intended optics while weakening MAGA’s legislative control.

The feds did in fact commit assault and battery on the people of Portland. They should be arrested. Free speech is not illegal. There was no reason for this attack……… The people did nothing illegal.
Release all the Epstein files… Except for the victims, unredacted!
Release the recording of Homan taking a bribe………..

Tricky situation. On one hand you can’t fall for the trap and give them a reason to declare martial law. But on the other hand you can’t help but feel that something needs to be done to show them it’s not ok. Pacification or escalation.

The most notable incident was a person in an inflatable frog suit had their air intake pepper sprayed.
The frog person is apparently okay, but was so cruelly proactive from the agent to someone who was so clearly peaceful.

lol hundreds. More like dozens. I seriously doubt it broke 1 hundred.
And are we counting the MAGA showing up to gawk at the ‘protest’ because they may very well outnumber the frog and his friends. Friends that are literally fishing for feds across the federal property line with donuts on the end of a fishing line. 🧑🍳😘
