Johnson is really hoping that the people willing to vote him back in as senator are still brainwashed from Trump's summer long attack on our minority communities. Because the way he repeatedly pushes the lies they planted about the social justice protests that Trump was using as his re-election campaign in 2020, it is obvious that is pretty much all he has.

I was curious about the first night of the Kenoshia protests that rioters joined (because Walker was using the false 'BLM/Defund the Police' narrative nonstop), and came across this tweet from the Governor of Wisconsin.

But when I looked for a better shot of the crowd, the group of white males in the bottom corner and left side popped out at me, and then I realized that the Republican governor cropped this picture to highlight the handful of black people in this picture.

Well in your first sentence I would focus on your use of the word 'Democrats'.

You seem to be falling (hard) into the trap of propaganda branding. Though feel free to prove me wrong with the Biden banner being prominent, or Pelosi hats or whatever it is that you decide shows all those people in the protests of 2020 are Democrats.

Are you implying that I am saying rioting did not happen? Because that is just projecting more of the Republican brainwashing into thinking anyone was saying rioting is not happening and should not be stopped.


That was a large part of what Biden and the Democrats ran on.

Thousands of people were arrested and 300 were charged and facing federal charges for what they did during the BLM riots. The difference between those people and the ones charged for the siege and assault on the Capitol Building on Jan 6 is, people arrested during the BLM riots for looting, vandalism, etc. were not organizers and group members of the protest group. In the tiny fraction of times looting and vandalism broke out during a BLM protest in 2020, Antifa and BLM were not behind the unlawful acts that happened. In just the 7% of protests against police brutality during the summer of 2020 did looting, vandalism or violence happen. 93% of protests were completely nonviolent. Nearly all of the people charged for what they did on Jan 6 were members of a group that actively promoted participation at the scene of Trump's attempted bloody coup.

Regarding your question, there was nothing false about BLM protesting against police brutality, Those protests were triggered by real events. Contrast that with the fake "stop the steal" claim Donald Trump, the leader of the assault on the Capitol Building made. That was a fake claim. So, what justified that? I'm asking you. What justified MAGA GOP's organized attempt to capture and murder Donald Trump's enemies on that day?

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — U.S. Department of Homeland Security officials in the Trump administration compiled extensive intelligence dossiers on people who were arrested, even for minor offenses, during Black Lives Matter protests in Oregon.

Initial drafts of the dossiers even included friends of the subjects as well as their interests, but those were later removed and replaced with a note that they would be made available upon request, according to an internal review by the Department of Homeland Security.

The dossiers, known by agents as baseball cards, were previously normally compiled on non-U.S. citizens or only on Americans with “a demonstrated terrorism nexus,” according to the 76-page report. It was previously released last year but contains new revelations based on extensive redactions that were removed by the Biden administration.

Ben Wizner, an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union’s free speech, privacy and technology project, said the report indicates leaders of the Department of Homeland Security wanted to inflate the risk caused by protesters in Portland. The city became an epicenter of sometimes violent demonstrations in the wake of the killing of George Floyd, a Black man, by a Minneapolis police officer. But many protesters, including women belonging to a “Wall of Moms” ad hoc group and military veterans, were peaceful.

“We have a dark history of intelligence agencies collecting dossiers on protesters,” Wizner said over the phone from New York, referring to domestic spying in the 1960s and 1970s against civil rights activists, Vietnam War protesters and others.

“We need to be especially careful if agencies that are tasked with intelligence gathering are going to step in to to look at protest activity and where Americans are exercising their First Amendment rights,” Wizner said.

Protesters who break the law aren’t immune from being investigated, Wizner said, but intelligence agencies should be careful not to create “a chilling environment” for Americans to legally exercise their right to dissent.

The report reveals actions carried out by the DHS’ Office of Intelligence and Analysis in June and July 2020, when militarized federal agents were deployed to Portland.

When the dossiers, officially known as Operational Background Reports, were being compiled, some DHS analysts voiced concerns over the legality of collecting intelligence “on protestors arrested for trivial criminal infractions having little to no connection to domestic terrorism,” the report said. Some of the employees even refused to participate.

U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Oregon, obtained the report with most redactions removed and provided it to reporters Thursday. Wyden, a member of the Senate select committee on intelligence, criticized DHS leaders in the Trump administration for actions revealed in the document.

“Political DHS officials spied on Oregonians for exercising their First Amendment right to protest and justified it with baseless conspiracy theories,” Wyden said.

Brian Murphy, who was then the acting undersecretary of DHS’ intelligence unit, insisted on calling violent protesters “Violent Antifa Anarchists Inspired,” even though “overwhelming intelligence regarding the motivations or affiliations of the violent protesters did not exist,” according to the report.

Top DHS leaders even wanted the department’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis to create dossiers on everyone participating in the Portland protests, but Murphy advised that the unit could only look at people who were arrested.

Surveillance was broadly used in other cities as well during the 2020 protests, with federal agencies sending unmanned drones and military aircraft to assist local law enforcement. But it’s not clear exactly how that surveillance was used: The ACLU filed a federal lawsuit against several government agencies seeking that information late last year, but the case is still underway in the Southern District of New York.

Still, some agencies have acknowledged the surveillance was problematic. An investigation by the Inspector General Department of the Air Force, completed in August 2020, found that Air National Guard aircraft was used to monitor protests in Minnesota, Arizona, California and Washington, D.C. without clear approval from military leaders.

The surveillance in Phoenix, Arizona was “particularly concerning,” the Inspector General’s investigation found, because documentation associated with the flight suggested it was being used to allow law enforcement agencies to rapidly deploy to locations where they hoped to deter protest or looting.

“There is no scenario in which it is acceptable or permissible to use DoD (Department of Defense) assets to deter demonstrations and protests, assuming they remain lawful,” the report said.

The DHS’ internal review on Portland also shows the baseball cards — which were usually one-page summaries — included any past criminal history, travel history, “derogatory information from DHS or Intelligence Community holdings,” and publicly available social media. Draft dossiers included friends and family of protesters as well.

Wyden credited current Undersecretary for Intelligence and Analysis Kenneth Wainstein for reviewing the Trump administration’s “unnecessary redactions” and releasing the unredacted report.

A member of the militant Boogaloo movement was arrested in Michigan on election-related terror charges.

FBI agents confirmed Timothy Teagan, of Plymouth, was taken into federal custody after a search warrant was carried out at his home looking for controlled substances or firearms, reported freelance journalist Eric L. VanDussen on Medium.

"They were very, very particular about questions involving anything going on with the election," Teagan told journalist Ford Fischer a day after the FBI raid. "They were asking if I knew of any violent plans or violent tendencies that could be coming forth about the election. They were asking whether the Boogs or any militias were planning that during the elections, if we had any plans to go to polls armed, anything like that."

Teagan insisted his group had no violent intentions around the election but suggested unrest was possible if a proposition failed to amend the state constitution to protect the right to an abortion.

"I told them were were kind of worried about protests if Prop 3 fails because with the way abortion is held in Michigan we're probably going to see inner-city protests," Teagan said. "I told him we really had no concerns over the election at this point in time."

It's not clear what charges Teagan faces, but he will be arraigned Wednesday in federal court.
