"No officer may direct or use chemical or projectile munitions. . . against a person unless that individual poses an βimminent threat of physical harmβ to a law enforcement officer or someone else, the judge ordered."
So, 'Stop doing the thing you already werent supposed to do!' Okay.
One of the biggest blows against the illusion of Western democracy in recent years has been that there is now more popular support for Palestine than ever, the tide has turned; and yet it doesn't make any difference whatsoever.
Our leaders can entirely ignore us.
We do not live under Democracy
Am I still transgender if I don't care at all about how I come across
A federal judge dropped two of the charges against Luigi Mangione β the man accused of fatally shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson β making his case no longer eligible for the death penalty. n.pr/4bu41Z8
"They need bodycams and better training!"
They need put in a dark dungeon and left to rot.
Real. Also mind boggling that he trusts hia kids' safety to fuckin chatgpt
I sort of hope his rock wall falls down, Im ngl.
The Dean at the church I work at told me he was going to take the ideas people had for greater community outreach and "run them through chatgpt"
π¨BREAKING: Hours after holding a hearing about DOJ letter threatening Minnesota, Federal judge in Oregon DISMISSES DOJ lawsuit to access state voter rolls.

Today CBP officers executed Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37 year old nurse who worked at the VA. He was an observer, he was restrained and he was on the ground.
ICE murdered a nurse today
The issue with ICE is not training, the issue with ICE is that it fundamentally should not exist. The violence is the purpose
Portland Police Press conference on the shooting of 2 Portlanders:
-DHS said the victims had been involved with a shooting. Nope!
-But they were def part of Tren de Aragua
-actually no
-But TdA is real and active in Portland
-We can't name single crime TdA has been involved with in this city
Dems continuing to be useless and enabling the fascist police state? Color me surprised
The investigation appears to be the first since Oregon officials warned the federal government in November that they would investigate and prosecute any federal agents who use force βbeyond the reasonable scope of their duties.β
Partial confirmation of what my source told me. The victims only traveled a short distance- sounds like they just left the immediate area. Meanwhile the CBP officers left the scene and at least didn't pursue them very hard.
Did they panic and run? Get lost?

I keep hearing "identify these people so they can face consequences later"
Brother, there arent going to BE consequences later. Who exactly do you think is gonna swoop in and fix things?
Do something about it now, not later.
As we begin 2026, a new development threatens to further undermine voting by mail. A recent rule change at the U.S. Postal Service means that postmarks will no longer reflect the date a piece of mail was deposited at a local post office. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/how-...
Do not accept the idea that local officials can't do anything because the FBI "cut them out."
They should run their own investigation. If the Feds try to stop them they should force them to arrest cops and DAs. The mayor should go on TV demanding the release of his officers.
No business as usual.
KATU reporting says that Portland Police responded to a report about the shooting and found the two victims. Which suggests the CBP agent who fired was not still on scene, either bc he fled or bc the victims somehow got away while injured.
Replaced previous message w more measured one
π¨BREAKING: In the latest showcase of President Donald Trumpβs influence over the Justice Department, two veteran federal prosecutors were fired for refusing to bring criminal charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) β further exposing how the DOJ is being weaponized.

Close up shot of a grey cat, centered on her face. She is pale grey with blue eyes and darker grey tabby stripes. She is adorable.
Every time I take a picture of Kiki she must check if my camera is, perhaps, food.
I know some people who work at the portland Intel, and they say DHS is going to regularly be on site now. Disgusting.
