@meidastouch.com At a peaceful protest organized by Unions in Portland, OR that marched past an Ice facility. Without warning or provocation launches tear gas and flash banks into the crowd. I had just observed a family with an infant and ~ 3 year old near where gas was deployed

I was there. They were indiscriminately firing multiple canisters into a huge peaceful crowd. Fucking cowards

Huge anti ICE protest today in Portland OR! Thousands of people

Just started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

so much volume in #$IVRO lately

looks like Zeff has been buying a lot of #$SPRS www.otcmarkets.com/filing/html?...

@tressiemcphd.bsky.social this quote is really sticking with me. Thank you. “it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination.”

Got the #$MRCR buyout documentation the other day. Super happy with the $5.59 price. They are “holding back” $0.51

I volunteer as a handyman at a local LGBTQ community center, the PDX Q center, and my most recent task was fixing their incredible piano. They got it from Darcelle who was a famous Portland drag queen

One of the places I volunteer, Repair PDX, was featured in a local news story and they caught me fixing a kitchen mixer. So fun! www.kgw.com/article/news...

This really nails it. 2025 is when the state broke my heart.

I started to volunteer a lot. Im the maintenance dept at the PDX Q center. I repair tools at the tool library. I help fix peoples things at a repair clinic. I’ve done habitat for humanity. I took a day off work to pick weeds in a park. I’m signing up to shop for elderly neighbors I love it

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Even the animals hate ICE. Portland bringing in the cavalry

#nokings Portland frog brigade

Huge protest turnout in Portland OR!!!

The Raging Grannies on key in Portland at the ICE protest !!!

Update on Boomertifa from the war zone.

Before and after at the ICE protest here in Portland today.

This was taken two nights ago outside Portland’s ICE facility. According to the Trump administration a guy in a chicken suit counts as a reign of terror.

Protesting together in war ravaged #Portland OR

Marching always makes me feel better #50501 Portland OR

Big turnout today standing up for #nokings in Portland OR!!!

$SGMA buyout at $3.02 this morning. I was hoping to sell this way higher given what it’s done the past 5 years but oh well

@booker.senate.gov is giving me life right now. Just amazing

$AIFS maybe we've had a buyout? funny to just get no announcement but I see this on otcmarkets www.otcmarkets.com/market-activ...

$MRCR cash generation the past few years has been amazing

A teacher in Idaho has been told to remove posters reading "Everyone is welcome here" - specifically because it features different skin tones. As I wrote last week, this is a global political movement that has explicitly set the goal of eradicating the very concept of equality.

@carlquintanilla.bsky.social is the best

Trump and the republicans attacking the most vulnerable

couple recent stock buys for me though are $SCND and $SGMA.

It's been hard to think straight since that monster sexual predator Putin wannabe took office. I have spent zero time with stocks. Doesn't seem as important as it once did
