      Our county sheriff, mayor, and governor have all denounced the intervention, calling the federal response a “a significant setback,” “irresponsible,” and a “blatant abuse of power by the federal government.” https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1284148378729930753?s=21 …https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1284148378729930753 …

      Federal authorities vowed to quell the unrest in Portland, Oregon, but they have escalated tensions instead. Since arriving, they’ve shot one protester in the head with an apparent impact munition and officers in unmarked vans have seized others. https://nyti.ms/32z4BkR

      A peaceful protester in Portland was shot in the head by one of Donald Trump’s secret police. Now Trump and Chad Wolf are weaponizing the DHS as their own occupying army to provoke violence on the streets of my hometown because they think it plays well with right-wing media.

      Usually when we see people in unmarked cars forcibly grab someone off the street we call it kidnapping — what is happening now in Portland should concern everyone in the US. These actions are flat-out unconstitutional and will not go unanswered. https://twitter.com/dburbach/status/1283936410043637763 …

      Don’t fall for the DHS’s inflammatory rhetoric about the city being “under siege” from violent anarchists. The vast majority of actual violence here has come from the police themselves.

          Here’s what I need people to understand about the “federal officers snatching protesters into unmarked vans” story: None of it felt surprising to folks who have been out here since June. All of the individual elements had already been happening. A small thread.
