I don't think we're allowed to clal for people's deaths directly here but I think we can say that people like Bari Weiss should honestly be Charlie Kirked long before they get enough power to hurt the rest of us with their antics.

Leave it to WW to paint a leech from LA as the victim in a city with tens of thousands of people at or near homelessness. This woman is so out of touch she scoffs at the idea of renting studios at $1399. Housing should not be an investment. We need rent control and landlord prosecution NOW.

Oregon lawmakers failed to adequately implement Measure 110, and are now hot dog suit man trying to figure out how this could have possibly happened.

This is copaganda. If stolen cars are down 65% from 8100 cars and cops recovered ~80 cars it's not the cops.

Good morning! I’m currently at Beaverton High School in OR where a mass student walk out has just started to demand a proactive ICE protocol for their school and district. Students say that similar walkouts were planned at multiple other high schools, including Aloha, Sunset, Southridge & more.

Not saying it was the right move but I really don't want to sit through another wave of liberal "violence is not how you end an illegal military occupation" statements that condemn everyone and everything except the occupiers. If your politics end at "respect the troops" you're a fucking clown.

US libs will look you dead in the eye and say shit like this without a second thought. Silly self-righteous foreigner! Why don't you stop and think for a second! As your people are genocided, your land is invaded and your leaders are assassinated- how is rainbow B-52 not infinitely preferable?

Ppl coming up with wild theories for Trump liking Mamdani but the simple reality is that socialism is appealing. Any leftist who has ever talked to a conservative about what matters to them knows that as long as we don't say the words communism or socialism, they will agree with every single point.

May I recommend raising a motion to censure him while calling out the hypocrisy of Dan hiring a literal Nazi to his staff to run a podcast with him

Interesting that when our response to fascists organizing was to beat the shit out of them and shut everything down, they stopped coming. Now that our strategy is interpretive dance and court orders, they're suddenly brave again. And this time they don't even need Portland Police to protect them!

"Portland was so great in the 90s." No it fucking wasn't. We had six homicides on Burnside between the bridge and the brewery in one fucking calendar week in '96, and the shootout on Pioneer Courthouse Square in Crack '95. But it was a lot wh*ter, and we all know what the actual desire is here.

So glad we voted another middle aged white failson into the Mayor's office just so he could *checks notes* shoehorn in the exact same failed strategies and policies as the four nearly identical parasites before him 🙃🙃 Might as well hand the city over to the business alliance next election ffs.

I want to be optimistic like everyone but they're gonna give Mamdani the CIA special or just harp on it until a lone wolf Trumper does it themselves. No way this country let's an even half decent sounding politician run anything.

Quick, someone ask Democrats whether accepting Dick Cheney's endorsement last election was a good strategy! Maybe now that he's dead they'll finally gain even a hint of introspection???

Dick Cheney left a stain upon our species that we will spend the rest of our lives trying to scrub out. All decent people want our world to move in the exact opposite direction he spent his entire blood-spattered career working to steer us toward.

It is the moral duty of good people globally to make sure Netanyahu and his enablers like Biden and Trump see a life sentence or a firing squad.

Dick Cheney is dead and once again we allowed an incalculably evil monster to die peacefully of old age instead of the way they deserved. Burn in fucking hell, and may every person and institution who backed you join you expeditiously. 🙏 Say hi to Charlie and Reagan down there!

Numbers did not show tonight & the aggressive MAGA content show is dominating the area, with Portland police help.

So when racists hold rallies downtown Portland Police will move heaven and earth to "protect their right to protest" but somehow that same logic does not apply to ICE protestors. I have dozens of memories of being beaten and gassed by PPB for countering Nazis. Suddenly they're nowhere to be found!

Alameda police in California fired dozens of shots at a Uhaul truck that reversed too close to them. Full on firing squad mode towards journalists and protestors, and there's claims at least one bystander was hit. Worst part is the journo who recorded it goes out of his way to cover for the police

This is amazing. Nothing in this shitty ass racist country deserves to be preserved.

The ICE situation in Hillsboro Oregon has escalated. They're pointing guns at children.

Surprise!!!!! Letting fascists do whatever they want because you have the delusional hope that a system designed to preserve capitalism at any cost will rule against itself in your favor is apparently not a winning strategy!

This scumbag is such a clear example of everything that is holding Portland back from being a city that really works for its citizens. What an absolute fucking piece of shit.

If you got a police escort today, here's a view of how the police reacted to protests that actually disrupted the system.

If your protest isn't actively being attacked by the police, your protest is not a threat to that which you are protesting. You are at a parade. If your goal is to express dissatisfaction with the way things are, why not simply change them? They will ignore this protest, like they did the last one.

If the Oregonian opposes it, it's probably quite good

Who would have guessed that people who chose to become cops AFTER a national reckoning with the inherently racist and violent nature of the job would then proceed to be racist and violent? It's almost like Ted Wheeler and Rene González knew what they were doing by recruiting so heavily post-2020.

It's almost unbelievable to see Portland Police do something other than enable racists and Nazis. Probably the first time in over a decade I've seen them respond adequately to far-right violence. Absolutely unprecedented. They must REALLY care about their image right now.

Lowkey disagree with this take because what did we achieve? We didn't "give Trump what he wanted" and yet he's still doing everything he wants. Our neighbors are still being kidnapped, he's going on TV and promising to airstrike antifascists, manufacturing a war with Venezuela, what did we win?

Okay, so I am 100% for animal costumes, dancing, music, or whatever other way people want to protest against ICE, Trump, fascism, or similar. I think saying that it's "effective" because people dunking online makes me wonder what the fuck people think the end goal of it is.

Don't worry, he won't drone strike you! As every Democrat will tell you, what the Trump administration is doing is illegal! Not to mention that the liberals have a great plan to stop him! It starts by letting him do whatever he wants to us while we all beg for him to stop!

It's October 7th! May we see a one-state-solution, a free and independent Palestine within our lifetime. Long live the Palestinian resistance. Long live Hamas and every fighter still out there sending zionists back home to Brooklyn and Poland in a fucking box.

Crazy that the courts weren't able to stop Texas from literally invading Illinois. And even crazier that democrats in Illinois are pretending to be powerless to stop an invading army. Like. You're the governor. Deploy the guard to protect the state?? Make CPD work for the community for once?!

Nathan Vasquez is a MAGA Republican and should be treated as such. Remember this folks

The trump administration was prohibited from deploying Oregon National Guard to Portland by a court ruling, so instead he's activated loyalist troops from Texas and California. This is a day after DHS ruthlessly beat and gassed a peaceful liberal march including children and elderly people.

Feds attacked a mostly liberal march today... Even Portland Police rarely Stoops this low. They really really want this confrontation it seems. Just a reminder to anyone thinking of doing something kinda stupid, you don't HAVE to do it at ICE, where there's 1000 cameras and a batallion of troops.

Once again the Portland Police Bureau goes out of their way to target protestors and collaborate wit federal occupiers. But don't worry! The chief will go on TV tomorrow and say he isn't collaborating with ICE, so all is well!

drafting & passing legislation which bars all law enforcement from concealing their identities while on the job seems like fucking bare minimum shit right now. same with explicitly threatening to prosecute federal agents who violate state & local law. bare minimum shit which is weirdly absent.

Trump and the feds know there's no winning a real conflict in Portland. This city and the people that make it what it is will out-last his pathetic rule. They're so scared they had our local politicians beg us not to fight back. Because they know people here mean business.

It's easy for Keith Wilson to say the flood of new feds is "just a show" because his family isn't the one at risk of being ripped from their homes or jobs. It's easy for Jeff Merkley to say "don't take the bait" because he's never been beat or shot at by these fascists only to watch PPB assist them.

Normal fucking country

Coward. Come in person and find out.

*Liberals take literally any accountability or stop fantasizing about a world where they can ignore the misery because it's only happening to foreigners challenge* **impossible **

Government and police buildings are being set on fire after Indonesian police forces killed a protester by running him over with an armored vehicle.

Can't wait to do the Kamala and Hillary dance all over again in 2028. How the fuck do you as a white liberal expect minorities to vote for a candidate with a track record of throwing minority groups under the bus for political gain? You cannot guarantee that he won't choose my particular group next.

Ruin a book by adding Tom Clancy's to the title Tom Clancy's 'On Intersectionality'

It wild that the media is pitching this as a new thing when TPI has had the Ticket Home program for years and we also worked hard to reunify families in Washco if people could prove they would be housed upon return! But whatever gets the wheels turning I guess!
