I feel like the gassing of a peaceful protest full of labor union families in Portland should be getting more chatter... My friend, a mom, was tear gassed at a knit in. www.opb.org/article/2026...

Trump hung a photo of himself alongside Vladimir Putin inside the White House.

"I'm not in Minnesota -- what can I do to help?" A list of ideas!

ICE DETAINED MARILYN. Fuck these people. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Absolutely sick of these thugs standing like they are ready to empty an assault rifle into a Chicago playground at a moment’s notice. Next Dem president needs to put all these GI Joe wannabes on desk duty, armed with nothing more than a cheap plastic water gun. This behavior is vile.

BREAKING: The full bench of the 9th circuit has agreed to take up the Portland National Guard case and vacated the panel decision that had blessed Trump’s deployment.

By proceeding with demolishing my neighbor's garage before purchasing the garage from my neighbor, I forced the issue. It's a strategy known as "stake-driving."

By proceeding with the demolition of the White House East Wing before seeking approval from federal agencies for a new ballroom, President Donald Trump forced the issue. It's a strategy known as "stake-driving."

Boosting! Please boost this as much as you can!

Was Brett Kavanaugh uninformed, willfully uninformed, or lying? Regardless, we should not have masked agents who will not identify themselves disappearing ANYONE from our streets for any amount of time. This is the USA. www.propublica.org/article/immi...

I've received an 'exclusive' invite to try Nature's new 'research assistant', which will burn down a forest to provide a 'summary of the paper' I'm reading and I have SUCH exciting news for them, that's called an 'abstract' and the actual authors already wrote it for me, no forest-burning required.

This Is Fascism

Portland is doing well making clear the ridiculousness of the military takeover.

The Speaker of the House is telling the Fox News audience that a peaceful demonstration by Americans on the National Mall will actually be a gathering of organizations the administration has designated as violent terrorists. Seems bad?

The House Majority Whip is also insisting that a peaceful "No Kings" demonstration is in fact a "hate America rally" held for the "terrorist wing" of the Democratic Party. Really feels like they're trying to manifest a violent reaction to it.

A friend who lives in SE Portland reports the helicopters circle over them, as well. Keeping the dogs barking all nights as the helicopters pass. To the thousands of Portlanders affected, this feels like harassment in their homes. www.kgw.com/article/news...

NEW: Judge Immergut could quickly halt Trump's deployment of CA guard troops to Portland, a workaround that tested her warning that Trump's initial callup was illegal and based on false claims about the unrest facing ICE. w/ @joshgerstein.bsky.social + Blake Jones www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

UPDATE: Hegseth today called up 400 members of the Texas National Guard, with Gov. Abbott's apparent permission, to be deployed "where needed, including in the cities of Portland and Chicago." www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Unlawful troop deployment to my home town will not distract me from: Trump Tariff Tax killing billions in US soybean sales to China while Trump send billions of MY tax dollars to Argentina to prop up Mileu while Mileu sells soybeans to China. Lady Liberty says: Please cry for me Argentina.

Less than 24 hours after the TRUMP APPOINTED judge ruled: "The President's determination [that Portland is war ravaged] is simply untethered from the facts." and "This is a nation of Constitutional law, not martial law." This: www.opb.org/article/2025...

No 82nd Airborne called in for Charlottesville or the Jan 6 Insurrection... But, this one guy in a chicken suit holding vigil on public property outside the ICE building in Portland... You'd think Musk and Thiel could buy smarter goons with all that cash. www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...

look at the map here -- more than 2000 protests planned already... www.nokings.org

SCOOP — Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years. From @jsweetli.bsky.social, @slate.com + me:

Oh, that’s a good one.

This video of an ENTIRE LECTURE HALL of students chasing this hateful piece of garbage out made my morning — highly rec. it’s a great reminder that majority of people find this stuff disgusting.

File this under “essential function.” 🤡 #Shutdown abcnews.go.com/Politics/liv...

I’m a U.S. citizen who was wrongly arrested and held by ICE. Here’s why you could be next www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...

Sad. Pulling our service members from their jobs, schools, and families for political theater. Disrupting lives and wasting our tax dollars. And, you know, illegal. There is nothing going on in Portland apart from amazing food and a beautiful fall. www.opb.org/article/2025...

Live from "war ravaged" Portland

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

This is Portland right now. We’re“under siege” by pollen and potholes, that’s about it. We have a ton of live webcams if you want to watch us go to the farmers markets or walking our dogs, we love dogs. Release the Epstein files. www.camscape.com/webcam/pione...

When it became obvious that resistance in Chicago would be both strong and peaceful, Trump moved on to Portland, hoping he could provoke unrest and escalate his fascist crackdown.

WTF CNN? That is NOT a representative image of Portland or the tiny protest that is happening. They have their guys in dress up for photo ops and you fell for it. Notice you don't show the 3 interpretive dancers that they are storming towards. www.cnn.com/2025/09/27/p...

I hate credulous headlines like this. It’s like saying Hitler is sending troops into Poland to address “border provocations.”

This is literally what the actual "siege" of the auxiliary ICE building looks like

As a resident of #Portland it is impossible to capture how unhinged this is. We are a low crime city and the ICE protest "siege" consists of one auxiliary ICE office that normally has at most a dozen weirdos debating what performance art they should use to block a single driveway

It's a gorgeous fall day in #warravagedPortland. Come visit.
