There’s a number of dams on the river. So they have locks that raise and lower the boats to get past them. Here’s a few pictures of us entering the lock with along side a couple barges. They let water in and raised us up, then lowered the gate and we continued on our way.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Much of the msm is helping Trump rewrite history. Please keep supporting independent journalists, and especially Wikipedia, which may be the only accurate record left once Trump takes over all the others.

We’re meeting today with the Washington National Guard. My team and I have been preparing for this possibility for some time. We do not need or want the president to militarize our streets.

Washington stands with Oregon. I remain concerned by President Trump’s activation of the National Guard in Portland. I’m continuing to monitor the situation. Over the weekend, we were in communication with Governor Kotek and her team, as well as Mayor Harrell.

Secretary Hegseth has deployed troops to American cities, censored the press, and banned books from the Defense Department's schools. We sent a letter to members of Congress urging them to act before, rather than after, any new harmful policies or programs are announced at his meeting on Tuesday.
