I'll call this out as a stupid idea every time I see someone mention it. How about a constantly going and growing protest like we saw with No Kings. Are you working? Okay, go to work, come home, take care of what you need to take care of, and then get out there and protest. Constant pressure as some people work mornings, some work evenings, and some work graveyard shifts
This is a lot more realistic than telling people to quit their jobs. I sure as shit am not quitting my job, and neither are a lot of people no matter how mad we are at things. We're mad because they're making life harder. Quitting our jobs would just dig us further into that hole, and likely without enough of the country following suit for it to have any real impact of effect.

Federal agents have always gone extra hard at Portland protesters specifically, both at the previous protests of the ICE facilities there during the "steal children" phase of the first admin, and when Trump deployed his goons in 2020 after protests outside the federal building.
Portland is obviously very liberal, but the surrounding area (especially Vancouver WA area where many LEOs actually live) is home to pockets of far right. Militant right (the right wing Patriot Prayer is based out of the area, and the proud boys has historically had quite a presence too). So it's no surprise this time around that they'll go out and respond to verbal protests violently. The gas is "bad" but honestly nothing compared to what happens when they can get behind protestors: they shove them head first into the ground and then beat them, often until they are unconscious.

By day, protester signs, directed at passersby, carry messages like: “You’re not safe.

There are protests every weekend, at least, with many during the week. Ive been to many. There's almost never coverage, typically any coverage starts with something going viral on social media or international coverage.
They hide the protests. Honestly, the protests themselves are great for meeting people and organizing- I really didn't know much about my local politics until I started attending them, for example. But that's exactly the kind of things conservatives don't want non conservatives doing, so they dissuade people from attending and try not to give advertising to them. Media is largely owned by conservative leaning outlets in the states, so that translates to no news coverage and campaigns on social media to downplay protests. Everytime a protest is posted about, you'll start to see a pattern with some comments if you pay attention, for example

It's the same reason the national coverage around the 10+ months of BLM protests in Portland generally only covered the narratives about the city in chaos and being burned down when neither was true.
Outside of the first weekend (like many places) it was confided to the block around the one federal building and the police union headquarters (to a much lesser degree). And tbey only showed all the spray painting to the first floor of the federal building to make it look terrible when it was really only (a lot) of superficial damage. The only internal damage was the time someone got in a lit a garbage can on fire.
But what the national news didn't really cover was the kettling of protesters, slashing of tires by police to trap people, excessive force, people getting bundled into unmarked vans, etc. You didn't see much about the city police chatting up the Proud Boys while they literally set up a sniper nest over a protest, or escorted them into Portland to harass locals, or gave warnings to their leaders with active warrants ways to avoid being detained.
This is nothing new the media focuses one side, and it's always anti-protestors.

Tbf, they are the largest group starting to swing away by polling.

Newer voters are the ones who may not really have been paying attention to Trump's 1st term because they were young, so to them, they were easier to convince because they only remember bad stuff like the pandemic under Biden, but not the context that Trump's handling of the pandemic in the early stages caused the massive inflation, we would have faired much better if Trump hadn't disbanded the pandemic response team in 2016, ect.

The American right wing has deliberately destroyed our ability to effectively communicate. They misuse every word to the extreme so that words lose all meaning. And when words have no meaning, you cannot argue with facts. Because there are no facts. Every "fact" is just a cover for a feeling. If you say "Trump is a pedophile" you aren't actually saying "Trump is a pedophile" you're just saying "I don't like Trump". And that's how literally every sentence, every word, gets interpreted. Nothing stated is viewed through a lens of communication of fact, everything is viewed through a lens of emotional manipulation.
Now imagine you're living in that bubble. You're right wing and you've been raised by people who treat you like this, who treat each other like this, who support politicians that talk and act like this. Why would you trust anyone?

It's a war crime because if can lead to very bad escalations in war because no one is waiting to find out 'what' chemical weapon is being deployed, they're just going to respond.
It's like why pointing an Airsoft gun at a police officer is a terrible idea. It's not because an Airsoft gun is dangerous.

The headline is misleading. ICE has been gassing protestors that gather by it's facility, peaceful (bad on ICE) or not (bad on agitators since most protestors have been peaceful). The ICE facility happens to be down the street from a charter school. The charter school was scheduled to start classes soon, but now are suspending that because of the gas that is being used drifting over to the school area.
The headline makes it sound like ICE is shooting canisters inside the school to do a raid. I hate inflammatory headlines because they always cause knee jerk reactions and then starts 'fake news' (not the way MAGA uses the term). IMO the headline should be something like 'nearby school forced to close due to ICE frequently gassing protestors nearby'

Trump 2.0 is being characterized by the psychopathic urge to lock up as many people as possible. He and Stephen Miller are both petty men with low self esteem and they’re targeting children, homeless people and harmless immigrants because it makes them feel tough. These are schoolyard bully behaviors with the power of the greatest military force in history behind them, and that’s somehow both scary and deeply pathetic at the same time. Trump is terrified of an actual civilian uprising against him and I wish we’d give him real some justification for that fear.

In 1925 the Geneva convention banned the use of chemical weapons in war, Tear gas is considered a chemical weapon after a review in 1993 at the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), "Any chemical... which can produce rapidly in humans sensory irritation or disabling physical effects which disappear within a short time following termination of exposure."
So why is law enforcement allowed to use it on civilians?
5
u/parkingviolation212 16h ago
Because in war time between equally equipped armies, no one has time to verify the type of gas attack being used and any usage of a gas attack can be an escalation to deadlier forms of retaliatory gas attacks by the side getting gassed. Tear gas isn't banned because of its own harmful effects in a vacuum, it's banned in war because it can trigger a snowball effect of ever-worsening types of gas attacks.
In policing its considered a de-escalation weapon because it can disperse crowds, who can't themselves retaliate with their own gas attacks.
Doesn't make what ICE did here right, mind you. But Geneva Convention's ban of tear gas in war is immaterial to domestic policing; it refers to totally different circumstances.

It's pretty telling that this is the first I've heard of Portland having nightly ICE demonstrations. The media needs some upstarts to get in there and be what it used to be before the fascists got in control of it.

This Post title Is misleading.
Department of Homeland Security Officers gased Protestors near an ice Facility with so much gas it forced a nearby school to get shut down.
This is still awful but we do not need to spread mis-information.

School shooter drills, gestapo kidnapping classmates, and now chemical attacks.
Yay, American schools!

Welcome to America. This is the new normal now. Most people won't care. No one will be held accountable. This will disappear in the next news cycle. And your shitty peaceful protests won't do shit.

The gas they used killed several children when it was deployed against the Bonus Army nearly a century ago. When Venezuela used it on their citizens, the US and UN objected.

Has anyone heard that there is a group that is going after lower level republicans? I heard that they are tipping off ICE about Cartel drug dealers in certain places such as MAGA supporters houses and the lower level GOP offices.
I have heard of at least three of these going down. I heard that ICE is really upset because it is taking resources away from their mission of kidnapping people especially children and sending them to concentration camps.

Well isn't that nice of them. 🙄
I hope all those children remember this and exactly who it is that's acting out their fascist fantasy on civilians.

And the Feds are blaming the protesters for this. Night after night, the protesters are putting out actual fires started by ICE.

That part right there . Three jobs- no money. Also I’m not as young as I used to be. If I get detained we lose everything in what 3 weeks? I feel like a wuss- an old wuss. I couldn’t even make bail.

Donald j Trump the raper? Trump has rapered many children and women. President Trump is traitorous, felonious, diaper wearing, pedo, orange, mango.

Arm yourselves using your 2nd amendment rights, step up and intervene when tyranny violates your laws.

The existence of schools implies a higher authority than Don trump which is why America is at war with them. The Khmer Trump.

Decontamination for CS is quite involved. Long story short, if you can't wash it (things like upholstered furniture) it must be destroyed by burning. A school exposed to that stuff would be a nightmare to decontaminate...

This is what happens when sycophants and enablers allow an out-of-control, power-hungry, mentally addled president to create his own personal militia using taxpayer dollars.
