Civil rights and weapons experts cite the consequences of federal agents’ use of crowd control weapons: religious leaders shot with pepper balls and noxious chemicals. A nurse nearly blinded by tear gas. Protestors trapped, struggling to breathe.

Trump’s Immigration Forces Deploy “Less Lethal” Weapons in Dangerous Ways, Skirting Rules and Maiming Protesters

^{Alex.Bandoni@propublica.org (ProPublica)}

Trump admin lies about #ICE being attacked, so they can be the victim.
The Technique is called DARVO
(Deny Attack Reverse Victim & Offender)

But when people see that the "attackers" are people in frog costumes, it visually destroys the lie.

This means us sharing our silly protests on social media is REALLY important.

Cry havoc and let slip the frogs of war.

Trump & his buddies on the RW media are talking about Portland like it's scene from The Last Of Us. The reality is, this is what these troops are being called into stop.

#Portland, #Chicago, #Memphis, #DC, any of the cities where Trump is sending in the National Guard
Please make a video of your war-torn community & post it to YouTube with the hashtag

🤔 So the US President says #Portland is "war ravaged". That's news to us living here, but have an up-to-date look for yourself.

#OpenStreetMap for #Portland is so extremely outdated that I discovered there used to be a restaurant called Daruma Sushi that closed in 2019 in the same space that is currently hosting Feral. Orange & Blossom was missing entirely. I tried to update both, but since #OrganicMaps didn’t let me log in, I’m not sure if my updates will sit in a queue somewhere…

In any case, #OSM is far from being a reliable #GoogleMaps replacement, unless you somehow already know exactly where you’re going 🙃
