The β€œwar-ravaged” Portland only exists in Trump’s head. My video report paints a very Portland scene of defianceβ€”and dance.

First it was Los Angeles. Then, Washington, DC. Then, Memphis. Now, Portland, Oregon, is in President Donald Trump’s sightsβ€”just the latest Democratic city facing increased militarization.

But the picture that Trump paints of a β€œwar-ravaged” city literally just doesn't exist.

Tweet from The Bulwark: β€œQ: β€˜How many layoffs have you authorized?’ Trump: β€˜A lot. It will be Democrat oriented… They should be Democrat oriented. It will be a lot and we’ll announce the numbers over the next couple of days... Many of them will be fired.’”

Firing someone purely for their political affiliation is illegal and is a violation of free speech.

Donald Trump’s latest authoritarian moves signal weakness, not strength Publisher's Roundup 39

From Chicago to D.C., federal judges are standing up to Trump’s abuses

They’re showing what judicial independence looks like

That’s how democracy wins

If Joe Biden was unable to close an umbrella there would have been +/- 1,000 think pieces in the newspapers of America questioning whether he was capable of discharging the duties of the office of President of the United States.

Reverend David Black, the senior pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying at the armed agents above him before being shot in the head with a pepper ball at least twice and falling to his knees.

Black said he could hear ICE laughing. trib.al/9Nstfnp

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m.

The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom.

While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop.

The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.

The Crime of Human Virtue Sometimes it really is as simple as good vs. evil. This is one of those times. Human virtue is our great crime against the fascist project; it's also our great weapon against it.

"To be a Republican in 2025 represents a clear public confession that you either don't know the difference between good and evil and you're so morally empty that you can't be bothered to begin to try, or that you do know the difference, and you prefer evil."

Correction: cowardly bitches literally charged peaceful protestors, pummeling them to the ground & violating their constitutional rights.

Maga definitely voted for this administration to burn the constitution in favor of oppression & authoritarianism.

Heads-up. Share this everywhere. ICE has created a fake "Stop Ice" app. They're trying to ensnare people to enter their information, so they can go after them.
Do NOT use stopice./org.
