Just sweeping in and bundling people away seems like something a dictatorship would do. They really are not pretending anymore. The power kick Twitler gets from being overtly fascist is too much for him not to do. Of course, as he is an incompetent horror show with his sidelick Barr matching him in being a disgusting, democracy killing human being, the secret police will end up being as big a fuck up as anything else these greasy far right nasty touch. Just another way that this administration is undermining America, not just at home but abroad. I mean seriously, when your secret security forces bundles people into the back of vans, that is kidnap, it is not following due process, so good luck America in ever trying to call out human rights abuses anywhere else, for the foreseeable future.


In Trumps head - secret police be like get them libs...

1. Even someone who isn't paying close attention knows that the U.S. experiment in

Democratic government has always been only a very thin veneer of civilized behavior that covers up
the reality of corruption at all levels of local and national government. We should at least thank
tRUMP and the reTHUGS for finally revealing this for all to see... That's why we must show no mercy
and take no prisoners...

3. we let them put lying hatemongers on every corner and stump in the country (1500 radio stations)

calling liberals whores, thieves and traitors all day for 30 years and we shouldn't be surprised. completely ignorant of that talk radio monopoly, dem and progressive groups might as well be studying fish without water.

they all need to turn on limbaugh once in a while and listen to him call liberals, dems, BLM protestors "marxist communists" all day like he does in his suicidal desperation while his call screeners make sure the few callers that ever get through are paid, and may be calling from russia.

4. Damn!

The polizei were bad during civil rights and Vietnam war protests but they have become much more militarized under both Republican and Democratic Administrations.

6. Federal officers or white supremacist stochastic terrorist cells? How would we know?

Report each incident found to local police and to local media and to internet social media.

14. A case for the ACLU, for sure.

Hope they're on it already.

Also a theme for protesters to take up in solidarity across the country. And a situation for the SPLC to investigate and report on. If these thugs don't have IDs, they could be a militia acting on behalf of our own Pinochet in the White House. Maybe part of a real police or military force gone rogue. RW hate groups recruit from among police and military as well as from the general public.

Stop them in Portland before they spread their tactics across the nation. We cannot tolerate this, even though resisting it puts us closer to civil war than we are already. Maybe that's the point. Maybe it's what they want and are pushing for. If so, we'd better be prepared for even rougher times ahead.
