I’m pretty sure that Noem didn’t come all this way to see a quiet city on a beautiful day while people are at work. I worry that her story is already written, and no matter what she see, she’ll talk about “violent unrest” in the near future. They’re trying to build a case regardless of facts.

Why is a DHS helicopter buzzing the entire city right now? 💢

“Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek said: “There is no insurrection in Portland. No threat to national security. No fires, no bombs, no fatalities due to civil unrest. The only threat we face is to our democracy — and it is being led by President Donald Trump.”

There’s just no reason for this nonsense.

A Coast Guard C-130 missionized for long range surveillance just landed at PDX.

Invading 'Portland' does little to dispel the idea that Trumpism is basically "What if fascism but done by people who don't read good".

If you’ve ever wondered what a foreign asset who’s bent on destroying America would do if they ever somehow found themselves in the Oval Office, here you go.

Do they never consider that their feeling of danger is because of who they are, not because of where they are? Support fascism, and the people will hate you.

They're building concentration camps with money they stole from medicare.

This is what it looks like without a United States Congress.

Sec. 4. Using National Security Assets for Law and Order. (a) Within 90 days of the date of this order, the Attorney General and the Secretary of Defense… shall increase the provision of excess military and national security assets in local jurisdictions to assist State and local law enforcement.

Public lands belong to us. They're not for sale.

As an Oregonian this is highly alarming to me.

Suggestion to Americans: If you used a current bank account with funds on a recent tax return, it may be wise to contact your bank and request a change. Account and routing numbers are accessible, and Elon Musk’s staff have access to this information. Stay safe and protect your assets.

Let’s keep them out of Portland. www.wired.com/story/proud-...
