No more letters/ No more demands


✔ @CarolynBMaloney
, @BennieGThompson and @JerryNadler are demanding an IMMEDIATE IG investigation into the Administration's use of a secret police force in #Portland.

That is fascism, and it cannot stand.

It would be nice if we could see immediate action, but we have to follow the laws and not be like them. They would love that.

We are a nation of laws

The Oregon doj and the ACLU have filed suit to have them removed.

But with Wolf's comments this morning and Mark Meadows saying they are planning to go into other cities, we do need more immediate action and pulling the money would be within the realm of their legal authority. Last night they even gassed the wall of moms. They are becoming way out of control.

So they can lock everything down.

The best way to get them is to protest elsewhere so they have less claim that they are "protecting" federal property.

the shot "officer" would be lionized and canonized while the hundreds of remaining paramilitaries unleash a wave of armed violence on civilians reminiscent of 1980's El Savador

Trump's supporters fantasize about this happening, and if Chad's "wolf pack" deploys to enough urban centers, eventually it will happen, and it will be unimaginably awful.

are being rocked by violence? I live outside Philadelphia and we've got nothing here. NYC and Newark are fine. We had significant violence a couple weeks ago, but that is gone. My niece just flew in from California and she didn't mention LA as being a problem. Other than Portland, I haven't heard of any cities being "rocked" currently.
