From the Marsh Family: "Don't be critiquing or public speaking/Just nod and agree" www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyoY...

Statement from Portland Oregon Mayor Keith Wilson "President Trump has directed 'all necessary Troops' to Portland, Oregon. The number of necessary troops is zero, in Portland and any other American city. - the president will not find lawlessness or violence here unless he plans to perpetrate it.”

You are a blight on the legal profession, Clarence. Precedents obviously can be overturned, or Plessy v Ferguson would still be followed. But you know, or should know, that stare decisis enables a degree of stability in the law, vs changes w/ each administration. www.rawstory.com/clarence-tho...

The Trump regime is simultaneously: a) spreading conspiracy theories about January 6th in an attempt to scapegoat the FBI for political violence directly incited by Trump himself, while b) claiming the entire American left is solely responsible for political violence. Regime gaslighting.

Listen to someone who has been through it under Putin.

Governor Tina Kotek said in a statement that she’d reached out to the White House and DHS for an explanation and said there was “no security threat in Portland"

Too funny

Weird. That's not how you spell Jeffrey Epstein. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

From Ken Burns' “The 2025 Battle of Portland” 🎶Sweet Betsy From Pike🎶 “Dearest Prunella: As I write to you, a silent war rages in Portland. ANTIFA is the sneakiest foe of any war. Being invisible, they are difficult to find. Please pray for me as I enjoy my delicious coffee. Your Loving Husband”

WHY aren't the D Leaders out there, beating the drum, pushing the message that the Rs are to blame? Ds need to step up & get loud! @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

Trump is threatening to sabotage HIS OWN GOVERNMENT if there is a shutdown. Ok. Thats dumb but you own that. Why are we not hearing Dem leaders saying that? “Well that sounds reckless, Americans won’t be happy about that.”

it’s fucking insane that you can log off for a few hours and come back to find trump invaded another city in his own country

Duck you, Trump.

Really important to internalize that the president of the United States is ordering troops into major population centers precisely to create violent confrontations, for the sole purpose of intimidating, criminalizing and disabling opposition

Zelenskyy: Russia is testing EU's ability to defend themselves and trying to influence societies so people begin to ask: “If we can’t protect ourselves, why should we keep supporting Ukraine?” This is intended to reduce assistance to Ukraine, especially ahead of winter.

People seem determined to remember Charlie Kirk as a devout Christian. This includes mainstream and liberal descriptions of him and not just MAGA hagiography. But look, the things he said about people were in direct contravention of Christ’s teachings. It’s deeply perverted to suggest otherwise.

Please realize this sequence: * Trump signed an EO labeling protest as terrorism * the AG sent federal agents to Portland * the SecDef says he will send the military * all US generals & admirals are recalled to DC on Tues. * the federal govt. shuts down on Tues. It is a bad plan, but it IS a plan 1/

If anyone has any internal DOJ memoranda opining on the merits of charging Jim Comey, please send it to me and I may or may not provide it anonymously to the press. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Hey @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social,I asked Steve Bannon directly if he thinks Miller will now unleash the state on groups that describe ICE as "authoritarian," and he said: "Yes," adding that Miller is "in charge." cc @mcopelov.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2009...

That’s spelled KKKartoonish!

MTG: “I am not suicidal…if something happens to me, I ask you all to find out which foreign government or powerful people would take heinous actions to stop the information from coming out”🤡

Btw the answer to Speaker Johnson disenfranchising the voters who cast their ballots for Rep. Grijalva is NOT, “healthcare.”

What we might refer to as a "Kavanaugh Stop"

Someone please tell Sean James — who abandoned the name Sean Burch upon shifting to writing lazy, pro-Trump garbage for Mediaite — that actually the former vice president’s claim of the closest margin this century is accurate.

The President of the United States claims to have authorized the military to use lethal force on US citizens, and there’s not a single Republican who has the balls to tell him that’s both illegal and morally wrong.

“Doctors Without Borders has suspended operations in Gaza City because of the danger to its staff caused by the Israeli military’s ground offensive, the latest sign of the growing pressures on medical care in the territory.” 9/27/25

Donald Trump wants another round of DOGE cuts and he’s using the government shutdown to do it. People are already struggling to buy food & pay for housing-instead standing in solidarity to protest Trump’s tariff’s, Republicans in Congress will deny you healthcare & take your jobs. Unbelievable 🙄

“The number of necessary troops is zero.” Portland Mayor Keith Wilson

Jeffrey Epstein's schedule: “Reminder: Elon Musk to island Dec. 6 (is this still happening?)”

*Authorizes the American military to kill their fellow Americans. The whole point has always been about aiming actual guns at their political opposition.

You can see live how unsafe it is for us. We have webcam set up all over the city so you can see such horrendous things as walking your dog, going to a farmers market, drinking coffee with friends, dancing in Pioneer Square, or looking at the skyline. www.camscape.com/webcam/pione...

Posse Comitatus Act is in effect...and nothing going on in Portland or invoked by dim Donny implicates the Insurrection Act exception. @agdanrayfield.bsky.social needs to file an injunction preventing any active duty or out of state national guard troops from being deployed anywhere in Portland.

Portland is not "war ravaged." This is delusional and dangerous. Sending troops into American cities doesn't make our communities safer — it just stokes fear and stirs up chaos. Trump is plunging further into authoritarianism every single day.

As someone employed in public broadcasting, this whole thing is… confusing.

2/ From last night: "To speak the language of federal agents, let me say this, here's your sit rep: Situation normal in Portland. We do not need assistance. We are OK." - Portland City Councilor Eric Zimmerman, District 4 @councilorzimmerman.bsky.social komonews.com/news/local/m...

1/ With President Trump's sending military to Portland. Even if one accepts a President has "protective power" (as the Office of Legal Counsel historically does), that power is to be used only if test of necessity is met (as the Office of Legal Counsel admits).

In which @jacobgrier.bsky.social files a harrowing dispatch from the war zone. slate.com/life/2025/09...

I pay my taxes and I don’t get healthcare. I pay my taxes and schools are four days a week. I pay my taxes and my road is gravel. I pay my taxes and they close my hospital. I pay my taxes and then pay for college tuition. I pay my taxes and don’t have access to a library. Red state blues.

Who’s afraid of the Epstein files?
