Court documents reveal secretive federal unit deployed for 'Operation Diligent Valor' in Oregon

By Gabriella Borter

Reuters - "The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has deployed more than 100 federal agents to #PortlandOregon, on a mission named '#OperationDiligentValor' to patrol government buildings as anti-racism protests flared this month, court documents show.

"The documents, filed on Tuesday, helped shed light on what had been a secretive operation that involved days of violent clashes between unidentified federal law enforcement officers and #AntiRacist #protesters outside a federal courthouse.

"The operation has involved the Department of Homeland Security's #RapidDeploymentForce. It stepped up its response to "increasingly violent attacks" in the Oregon city on July 4, the day after a group of people broke into the courthouse, according to the affidavit by the Federal Protective Services (#FPS) regional director, Gabriel Russell.

"The affidavit was filed by the Department of Homeland Security [#DHS] and the U.S. Marshals Service as part of a broader lawsuit brought by journalists against the city of Portland and those agencies. The plantiffs claim that police had attempted to 'intimidate the press' by attacking journalists."

I do actually maintain a private twitter account to follow a few accounts on there, I logged on for the first time in a while and was shocked at how short and sort of lame all the posts from the big RW accounts on there were. Just posting meme images, weird one sentence replies that at best sound low brow and at worst just sound dumb. There was only one joke I saw that I actually chuckled at.

They remind me of me at this point, though they all at least pretend to care whereas I just openly do not give a shit anymore. Is this just them getting addicted to the whole "pay per post" thing?

Shelter in place order on the campus of Shenandoah University in Winchester, Virginia.

Hundreds of exiled russians gathered in #Berlin on Sunday for a demonstration against the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine and against Kremlin dictator Putin, who is a wanted war criminal for genocide of #Ukrainians.

As a police spokesman told rbb, about 1,800 people took part in the protest march. Prominent representatives of the Russian exile opposition, including Yulia Navalnaya, Ilya Yashin and Vladimir Kara-Murza called for the demonstration. With shouts such as "No to war" and "Down with Putin", Yashin greeted the protesters at Potsdamer Platz to great cheers.
