Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

The whole T***p administration appears to be made up of spoiled 2 year olds and 7th graders playing with the largest weapons arsenal in history...
That ain't right.

Read transcript of Oregon judge’s decision on National Guard deployment to Portland “Mr. Hamilton -- Mr. Hamilton, you are missing the point,” U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut told the federal government lawyer.

The Courts have a Duty to consider all the facts.

Can you please say "Separation of Powers" at least 3 times?
"the federal courts provide a check on the executive branch by ruling on the legality of its actions."

People Learn from the Media. Please report in context!.

Yes open defiance and Yes getting more people "on our side." T***p appointed judges are judging his actions unconstitutional. He's 's wasting shit-tons of taxpayer $$ (already) on war games in US cities.
Dems are trying to save people's medical care.

💯 + it's
Waste: of taxpayer money
Fraud: the fake reasons for invading
Abuse: of US citizens and people who make this country great.

The "us" against "them" isn't fixed if we use truthful comments to help people join us. T***p judges judge his actions unconstitutional. Impeach T***p!

She's a T***p appointee. T***pists in the Cabinet and Congress should catch her drift and declare him unfit for office.

STRAIGHT INTO MY VEINS

I am calling on US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to pressure for the release of Paul and Stephen, two Portlanders who joined the humanitarian flotilla to Gaza.

Humanitarian aid is not a crime.
Let's bring our Portlanders home.

How the F did the content of this poster become considered "Political"?

A screenshot of the US Bill of Rights, 1st amendment: The U.S. Bill of Rights Note: The following text is a transcription of the first ten amendments to the Constitution in their original form. These amendments were ratified December 15, 1791, and form what is known as the "Bill of Rights." Amendment I Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Let no one forget that the 1st Amendment of the Constitution explicitly protects freedom of Assembly AND to Petition the Government for redress of grievances.
That is exactly what protestors in front of the ICE building in #Portland and elsewhere are doing
protecting #USConstitution and #community

So much Bravery. So terrible it's needed; so important it's there ♥️. Community ❤️

Note: the Federal judge who decided this case Was Appointed by T***p. That's how far far far unhinged the current US executive branch is.

Attn Black people, stop scrolling.

This is not a drill: Chicago

Spendthrift, out of touch, and making the average person poorer... Actually not surprising the Trump administration sees the French court of the late 1700s in themselves. Although I don't think the French were afraid of thespians.

Remember when T***p said he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th avenue in broad daylight and not lose any votes? www.politico.com/story/2016/0... Human lives don't mean much to him. He thinks he's playing a video game?

PSA for folks visiting any National Public lands (parks, forests etc) during the shutdown: PLEASE take everything you brought in with you, including trash! Don't leave it in the bins if you can avoid it - those are emptied by National Parks/Forest workers. If they're furloughed that job isn't done.

Portlanders are peaceful. #FreedomofSpeech #RighttoAssemble.
NO to federal violence and inhumanity

Waste, fraud, abuse. It's amazing how they claim to oppose the very thing they perpetrate.

Dear Cabinet,

When the President sees a government shutdown as an excuse to destroy government departments, he is obviously not well. He has pledged to faithfully implement the laws of our nation.

You need to use Amendment 25 to remove him from power now, otherwise you are not doing your jobs.

Dumb and Dumber Before the Generals and Admirals Tuesday, hundreds of highly skilled professionals were forced to sit in the room where their inferiors in all but rank staged long, pointless, hateful, ignorant, and undisciplined performances. Such a...

HIE...the reason we're in this mess

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance.

Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn.

We have been sent here to fight for people.

The present is not the past. Agreed that Mayor Wilson has improved his commentary by a mile. That's a very good thing.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

(writing on bluesky to @wyden.senate.gov because his Senate phone line is "not available"). Don't cave to the Republicans. Money for health and education! Not for bombs and deportation!

Say what You are fighting for loud and clear, and keep fighting for them. We need good press for positive things--
Medicaid/Oregon Health Plan continuing,
Support for medical insurance and care, protecting human rights,
Keeping our air and water breathable and drinkable...
