Earlier, federal agents shot a protester in the eye. Vincent is an ER nurse and said he came to the protest at the ICE facility in South Portland after a shift. Other protesters called an ambulance for him, but he had to walk several blocks to meet it, due to the munitions still flying.

Seeing footage from these #NoKings rallies is inspiring, and it really underlines the falsehood of the “Red States” vs “Blue States” myth. As @sarahkendzior.bsky.social put it, America is purple - like a bruise

This is what a real leader like President Biden does and says after the appalling act of politically motivated violence we have seen in Minnesota. As of now, the White House and POTUS pages on Twitter have said nothing and are busy celebrating the birthday of the abomination they call president.

Hmmmm . . . I wonder how the Minnesota assassin might have had access to a police uniform, a police badge, and a police cruiser. Are we sure he was "impersonating" a police officer?

Any person in uniform wearing a mask and refusing to be properly and reliably identified should be assumed to be the same kind of murderer we’ve seen in Minnesota.

The Minnesota assassinations, the attempted arson at Governor Shapiro's home, and the violent arrest of Senator Padilla are all straight out of the Jim Crow terrorism playbook. Same goes with cops aiming for journalists covering the ICE protests. None of these are new tactics, just a new iteration.

HISTORIC ESCALATION: U.S. MARINES DETAIN AMERICAN CITIZEN IN LOS ANGELES 🇺🇸 For the first time in modern U.S. history, active-duty Marines have reportedly detained a U.S. citizen on domestic soil; without the invocation of the Insurrection Act. Let that sink in.

The Marines can detain "people who pose a threat to federal personnel or property" and were at the Wilshire Federal Building. Army vet Marcos Leao was going to the Dept. of Veteran Affairs, which is inside the Wilshire Federal Building. So they saw a brown guy and assumed he was a threat?

Rieckhoff: Trump, smartly—and maybe stupidly—chose to hit the military first. They’re using the military and the Pentagon as a test case for everything they want to do in America. And what I’d say is: if they can come after us, they can come after anyone.

Sen. Alex Padilla: "If this is how this DHS responds to a senator with a question, I can only imagine what they're doing to farmers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California and throughout the country. We will hold this administration accountable."

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”
