The Memory Hole

Thursday 21 January 2021 - Filed under Authoritarianism + Government + Journalism

Just hours after being inaugurated, Biden sends in federal cops to deal with “peaceful protestors.” The New York Times:

In Portland, Ore., lines of federal agents in camouflage — now working under the Biden administration — blanketed streets with tear gas and unleashed volleys of welt-inducing pepper balls as they confronted a crowd that gathered outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement building near downtown. Some in the crowd later burned a Biden-for-President flag in the street.

I’m old enough to remember when confronting “mostly peaceful” protestors with force was, like, the actions of a dictator. I wonder at what point they’ll denounce Biden? I also won’t be holding my breath.

As a side note, I wonder when the servers that host the social media platforms used to organize the “protest” will take action?
