One of the most insidious ways in which oppression functions against marginalised people is to make you question yourself on whether you're the problem for demanding dignity.

I don't know who else needs to hear this today, but no, you are not the problem for demanding respect.

Whether you're being objectified, dismissed, misgendered, demonised, pathologised or simply ignored: you deserve better, and you are right to demand that of the world.

Don't look now, but Pam Bondi is refusing to answer Lindsey Graham's question about how many "illegals" live in Chicago. Instead, she filibustered about how many drug traffickers were caught there, most based on investigations started under Biden.

US Fascism - Portland 

"There's a huge problem in Portland. Crime!"
Yeah - A fascistic convicted felon insists on sending thugs to terrorize us in direct violation of the US Constitution!
That's the fucking crime problem!

A shocking incident is raising alarms: ICE agents were reportedly on rooftops “shooting rubber bullets” at peaceful protesters who were simply “standing there flipping them off.”

This blatant abuse of power demands accountability. #BlueCrew #ICE #CivilRights #ProtestRights #UseOfForce

@EricIndiana Sure: The Republicans control all branches of Government, even the corrupt highest court, but the Radical Left Lunatic Democrats shutdown the Government.
Like Facts don't matter much for the morons!

Making Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III look...almost competent....

Oct 3: “#Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes told reporters she had gone to Humboldt Park Hospital upon hearing that a roughly 37-year-old man—who was being chased by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents during an operation in the neighborhood—had fallen, broken his leg, and was taken to the hospital by the agents.”

She demanded to see a warrant. Thugs handcuffed her.

“The masked agent eventually replied that he did not need a warrant.” #uspol

> The infamous Romanian dictator's private palace is open for visitors in Bucharest and includes a private cinema, silk carpets and walls of gifts from world leaders.

I'm not sure, but he probably had a very nice ballroom too.

...didn't work out well for him and his wife in the end.

When asked why only some people would receive backpay, Trump simply replied, “You’re gonna have to figure it out.” It’s not clear how the president intends to deal with those he believes do not deserve pay. https://trib.al/2gb8hQq

Apparently air traffic controllers aren’t essential workers in a gov shutdown? In any case they are working unpaid. Or not. Make this make sense.

Scoop, by @lorenzofb: A federal contract shows ICE spent $825,000 on vans equipped with fake cellphone towers known as cell-site simulators, which can be used to spy on nearby phones.

The Maryland-based company that integrates the cell-site simulators into their vans is called TechOps Specialty Vehicles.

#Oregon Republican Party is facing backlash after it shared a social media post about a planned military deployment in #Portland using a fabricated image composed of photographs from South America.

The party's official accounts…claimed, "President Trump on Sunday deployed 300 California National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon after a judge ruled that the Oregon National Guard could not be [used] to keep federal facilities and personnel in Portland safe.”’

Parente said Martinez has “seven holes” in her from the #shooting & that agents were in such a hurry to take her into custody at the hospital that they had to return later when Martinez began bleeding from her wounds.

Parente disputed the govt’s claim that Martinez is a danger to the community & should be detained, saying instead that the officer who shot her was a threat.

“I think there’s a danger to the community, but I don’t think it’s Ms. Martinez,” he said.
