📛 THIS! IS! NOT! NORMAL! 📛

Trump has been threatening to send stormtroopers into Democratic cities since before he took office. He signed an Executive Order just days into his term titled “Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior of the United States” claiming this authority. https://twitter.com/betacuck4lyfe/status/1283561534447206400
What’s happening in Portland is BAD. It is extremely ominous.

Heavily armed Federal shock troops are deliberately shooting demonstrators in the head.

They teargassed a whole city block despite orders from the entire city government to stand down.

They’re kidnapping citizens.
We don’t seem to have any national media with boots on the ground in Portland to cover the protests.

Everything we know is thanks to indy media folks like @TheRealCoryElia, @PDocumentarians, @defendpdx who are out there getting gassed and illegally arrested for doing their jobs.
One of the very first things Trump did after taking office was to sign an EO withholding Federal dollars from “sanctuary cities”.

As we saw during his Reichstag Fire speech in DC, Trump is using military police and militarized Federal LEO’s to brutalize and intimidate citizens.
We are witnessing Foucault’s Boomerang — whatever the empire employs against its far-flung colonies will eventually be used in the homeland against immigrants, and then finally against ALL opponents of the regime.

Pay attention. It happens fast, and we must oppose it now. https://twitter.com/markknoller/status/1283434158539317251

We must oppose this by any means necessary. PORTLAND: unidentified, unbadged sniper — possibly from DHS HSI or CPB BORTAC, we may never know. https://twitter.com/therealcoryelia/status/1282555597322194944
