A prominent anarchist blog is calling for a “disruptive” gathering at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent’s home in Portland, Oregon, on Friday night. Masked protesters should arrive at the property at 6 p.m. and “TAKE THE FIGHT” to ICE, whether the gathering is “peaceful” or not, according to the Tuesday post from “Rose City Counter-Info,” which claims to identify the agent and a home address. The anonymous pro-Antifa website drew rebuke from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in July and October for efforts to “dox” ICE agents and telling Portlanders to illegally shine lasers at federal aircraft....

The Democrats are desperate to maintain the narrative that Renee Good was an innocent woman gunned down by a fascist ICE agent. We all know it's not true, and we've all seen the multiple videos from different angles showing Good hit that ICE agent with her vehicle. But that's not stopping the Democrats from scraping the bottom of the barrel for support, and that includes getting a statement from Casey Anthony, the Florida mom accused and later acquitted of murdering her daughter, Caylee Anthony. Anthony was convicted of four counts of providing false information to law enforcement, but was credited...

The chair of Shannon Airport warned the Minister for Transport that protests and airside incursions at the airport were a “grave risk” and a threat to the international reputation of the State. The letter to Minister Darragh O’Brien last May said security breaches at Shannon that month were part of a “persistent and deeply concerning” trend. However, a further incident took place in November when protesters managed to reach an apron and taxiway, before spray painting a US military aircraft. In last year’s correspondence, the airport chair Conal Henry pleaded for help, saying the incursions posed a very serious security...

A non-binary researcher at the University of Washington is under investigation after she allegedly called for conservatives to be assassinated like Charlie Kirk in disturbing social media posts. Staffer Mara Maughan, who uses she/they pronouns, made the sick comment on a Facebook post from the executive director of the Educational Freedom Institute, Corey DeAngelis, who had shared a clip of Democratic Washington state Sen. Jamie Pedersen refusing to acknowledge biological advantages men have over women in sport, Fox News Digital reported. “May there be Tyler Robinsons for you all,” Maughan wrote in the comment, in response to the clip, in...

A Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, government agency is promoting an upcoming class by local leftist groups on “civil disobedience” from its social media accounts. The city’s Commission on Human Relations (CHR) reposted a joint announcement on Saturday advertising the event by the Pittsburgh chapters of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and the 50501 Movement on Instagram and X. The three-hour Tuesday evening talk will feature an unnamed “practitioner and trainer with extensive experience” and civil rights lawyer Mike Healey, according to the posts.

Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair Ken Martin compared the U.S. to Iran in several social media posts Sunday, claiming both countries are guilty of "killing protesters." Martin made his first comparison on X, expressing support for both protesters in the U.S. and Iran for rising up against "systems that wield violence without accountability." "From Tehran to my birthplace of Minneapolis, people are rising up against systems that wield violence without accountability. In Iran, brave protestors confront a far-right theocratic regime that crushes dissent and denies basic freedoms," Martin wrote. He continued, "Here at home, tens of thousands are marching after...

Cam Higby is on the ground in minneapolis, following about 1k protesters that have been going around to hotels they think have ICE staying as guest and trying to make entry or harrassing them.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Conflict between law enforcement and activists erupted outside an Orange Mound restaurant Sunday evening after a group of National Guard members was asked to leave the property. The Memphis Police Department was at the scene Sunday night, along with dozens of Memphis Safe Task Force members, outside Da Sammich Spot on Park Avenue, which has a posted sign banning ICE agents.

MINNEAPOLIS — Renee Nicole Good, the mom who was killed by a federal agent after veering her car toward him, was an anti-ICE “warrior” and was part of a group of activists who worked to “document and resist” the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota, The Post can reveal. Good, who moved to the city last year, linked up with the anti-ICE activists through her 6-year-old son’s woke charter school, which boasts that it puts “social justice first” and “involving kids in political and social activism,” multiple local sources said. “She was a warrior. She died doing what was right,” a...

The ICE agent involved in the deadly Minneapolis shooting of Renee Nicole Good has been identified as Jonathan Ross. Ross was an 'experienced' officer, sources told the Minneapolis Star Tribune on Thursday. Good, 37, was shot and killed on Wednesday afternoon while she was driving her SUV down a street where ICE agents were on duty. Multiple videos show the agent, identified as Ross, opening fire on Good and hitting her in the face while she was behind the wheel. The Trump administration says Good was a 'professional agitator' who had been stalking federal agents. But Democratic officials in Minneapolis...

Ken Jennings, host of Jeopardy!, took to his Bluesky account on Wednesday and said any Democrat candidate who prosecutes “former” members of President Donald Trump’s White House “regime” has his vote in 2028. “The ‘prosecute the former regime at every level’ candidate has my vote in 2028,” Ken Jennings wrote in a viral post on the liberal-friendly social media site.

For the past 22 years I have watched, written about, broadcast, and cross-referenced the groups, messages, and protests by the left in Portland, Oregon. For a long time, before the Occupy Wall Street movement, I was one of the few in Portland talking about the derivations of these groups on my blog and the radio. Before the category-killing Antifa movement subsumed the anarchists and BLM activists, these groups always came from one place: the ANSWER Coalition. This anti-war, anti-Israel, anti-capitalist, anti-anything-opposed-to-America organization gave cover to the wildest and most extreme groups in Portland. Earth First!, Animal Liberation Front, Earth Liberation...

The deranged hammer-wielding vandal who busted several windows at Vice President JD Vance’s home in Cincinnati is allegedly the son of a prominent millionaire family — and appears to have been going by “Julia” in recent weeks. William DeFoor, 26, was arrested early Monday after allegedly shattering four windows at Vance’s home. Police said that DeFoor was attempting to break into the home around midnight.

The word “Fascist” seems to get thrown around these days and utilized more often to shut down discussion than to encourage it. There are even groups out there calling themselves “anti-fascist” while simultaneously supporting a party and leaders that seek to eliminate freedom and impose increasing centralized federal power. However, as the great poet warrior Inigo Montoya once observed “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” So, what is fascism? Lieutenant Colonel James MacMillan established the definition as a political system based on a very powerful leader, state control of social...

A far-left Maine Democratic Senate hopeful who once had a Nazi-linked tattoo has called upon his “fellow comrades” to resist President Trump in the wake of his actions in Venezuela and “retake’’ the US. “Friends and comrades, we have a fight ahead of us. This is gangsterism on an international scale,” Graham Platner raged at a gathering with supporters Saturday in Portland. Platner’s rallying cry came hours after the Trump administration launched a major operation in the South American country and took its dictator, alleged narco terrorist Nicolas Maduro, and his wife into custody. “The only way for us to...

As the U.S. military carried out an operation to capture Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro, a second front opened up within minutes in the United States, an information warfare, psychological and propaganda operation run by a hardened cell of self-described Marxist, socialist and communist leaders. ...(they) quickly produced posters to mobilize foot soldiers to the streets for an "EMERGENCY DAY OF ACTION" in New York City; Washington, D.C.; and an estimated 100 other cities, moving with the speed and discipline of an organized military operation.
