ALT Headline: Far-right extremism in the Miami-Dade GOP. Images of: current list of Miami Dade Republican Executive Committee members; Gabriel Garcia after getting maced on Jan 6; Miami CCDF leader Alan Chovel at J6; Julio Martinez with former PB leader Enrique Tarrio: Chris Barcenas at J6: Miami GOP operative Barbara Balmaseda; and Gilbert Fonticoba at J6. All photos from public sources and posted as part of our ongoing coverage of far-right extremism.
ALT Screenshot from Office of Management and Finance statement. It reads: The City of Portland does not perform sweeps. The word “sweep” depicts a violent and militaristic action. Sweeps are performed without advance notice and typically result in arrests or citations. Sweeps are a tactic used to surprise and eradicate communities without thought towards their circumstances or wellbeing. The City of Portland does not do this. Using this word to describe our program grossly mischaracterizes our work and completely negates the tireless work of dedicated social workers, outreach providers and community health outreach personnel. It’s wrong and outright offensive.
ALT Screenshot from Office of Management and Finance statement. It reads: This past year has taught us so much. One of those things, I hope, is that words matter. So I will say it again, the City of Portland does not perform sweeps. We get a lot of emails asking about the status of sweeps – and each and every time we receive these, we cringe. So, from here on out if you send me an email asking about a sweep, here’s what I will tell you: The City of Portland doesn’t perform sweeps. It’s time for us to move past divisiveness and reaction – and move towards a healthier, safer and more respectful solution for our entire community. Please join me in this effort.
