The Portland protest culture should take note: Pretending antifa doesn’t exist may not save you. Supporting terrorists and rioting are real. The First Amendment protects speech you don’t agree with. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/u...

Speaking of small minds, City Councilor Jamie Dunphy thinks tattoos are a way to show weirdness. In Portland, tattoos are a cliche. @councilordunphy.bsky.social www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

For more than two decades, the Oregon state legislature has tried to dismantle its own criminal justice system. Politicians, social justice activists and media all collectively shrug and say “the system is broken,” as if they had nothing to do with it. portlanddissent.substack.com/p/what-a-mess

If Tyree Smith moves to Portland, he could be a candidate for one of the city’s police oversight groups. x.com/tadgh_dc/sta...

@counciloravalos.bsky.social Thanks for the inspiration. It's nice to know the Portland City Council is one big happy, polyamory family. Your bedrooms are fascinating: portlanddissent.substack.com/p/councilors...

The Portland City Council is one big happy, polyamory family. See what some of their bedrooms look like: portlanddissent.substack.com/p/councilors...

Portland City Councilor Candace Avalos will be so jealous. How come she can’t get a security team like this? Hey, Candace, can you carry a tune? @counciloravalos.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/u...

More like the Portland Sheep. They will do as their progressive leaders have taught them.

“I got you, buddy.” A terrific encounter between police and an injured bald eagle. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/18/u...

Even for progressives, it's all about money. Columbia University, one of the most liberal Ivy League schools in America, had no trouble getting into bed with Epstein: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/16/n...

Portland has made a fetish of police oversight — almost to the point of absurdity. Take a look: portlanddissent.substack.com/p/cop-watche...

The killer at the school in Tumbler Ridge was not a “she.” Jesse Van Rootselaar, was biologically born male and began transitioning to female six years ago. Surprise: He had mental health problems. Police removed firearms from the home. He obtained more. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/02...

Would you buy a house from this woman? She's Isis Irving, a licensed Realtor, who drove by ICE and fired a BB gun at people she disagreed with. It's the Portland way.

This YIMBY in Bend knows nothing about Auschwitz-Birkenau, Bergen-Belsen, Buchenwald, Mauthausen, Treblinka. Years after Primo Levi survived Auschwitz, he continued to automatically search the ground for bread crumbs, for anything to eat.

If you enter U.S. District Court Judge Michael Simon’s courtroom, you’ll be ordered to silence your cell phone. Yet Simon wants ICE employees to endure activists who deliberately disrupt the work of federal employees. @repbonamici.bsky.social nypost.com/2026/02/07/o...

A florist in New York City offers some lessons to Portland progressives/socialists who always want more, more, more: It’s a saving grace to learn how to be happy with less. @counciloravalos.bsky.social @councilormorillo.bsky.social @councilorgreen.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Who would think government by mob is a good idea? Mayor Keith Wilson and Portland’s legacy journalists, that’s who. They wouldn't dare to ask whether anyone who enters the U.S. illegally should ever be sent back home. portlanddissent.substack.com/p/havent-we-...

The 2026 Oregon legislative session begins Monday. Will there be a walkout? Will the state, facing a budget shortfall, still give $10 million to illegal immigrants fighting deportation? Will Gov. Tina Kotek learn from her mistakes? portlanddissent.substack.com/p/it-will-be...

To all anti-ICE protesters: Anybody remember Waco? In 1993, President Clinton’s ATF and FBI killed 80 Americans — including 22 children at a Waco, Texas, compound of Branch Davidians, an offshoot of Seventh-day Adventists. Where was the outrage? open.substack.com/pub/anncoult...

Good news — Bernhard Goetz is still alive. Bad news — the media still can’t accept that four guys trying to shake down a man for money is a crime. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/20/b...

When an issue is politicized, emotions take over. It leads to the kind of stupidity in Oregon where electrical power is treated as something that can be wished into existence rather than engineered. bensviewpoint.substack.com/p/hydropower...
