No National Guard on our streets! Tonight, Judge Immergut issued a permanent injunction that blocks the Trump administration from deploying any National Guard members to our city. 🧡

Indigenous nations plan a tariff-free trade corridor across the US-Canada border β€œWe’re not begging for crumbs anymore. We’re demanding what’s rightly ours."

Just west of Fort Qu’Appelle in Saskatchewan, the Standing Buffalo Dakota Nation is working across the US border to revive centuries-old trade routes as part of a new Indigenous-governed trade corridor.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

@StephenM on X: Legal insurrection. The President is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, not an Oregon judge. Portland and Oregon law enforcement, at the direction of local leaders, have refused to aid ICE officers facing relentless terrorist assault and threats to life. (There are more local law enforcement officers in Oregon than there are guns and badges in the FBI nationwide). This is an organized terrorist attack on the federal government and its officers, and the deployment of troops is an absolute necessity to defend our personnel, our laws, our government, public order and the Republic itself.

Everyone is trying to have a normal Saturday night and the president's top advisor is on X announcing that civil war is necessary

I learned that you cannot tag Portland Oregon in TikTok rn. Even people in PDX can't.

I tried it myself. You can't even bring up Powell books or other landmarks.

Not seeing anything online about it yet, but big uptick in helicopters and a sinking feeling that the Feds and right wing agitators are stirring something up tonight in Portland

Trump is launching an authoritarian takeover of Portland hoping to provoke conflict in my hometown. I urge Oregonians to reject Trump’s attempt to incite violence in what we know is a vibrant and peaceful city. I will do everything in my power to protect the people in our state.

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Immigrants are leaving the US workforce in very large numbers.

Remittance payments US→MX plummeting, down 2+ million from a year ago.

Biggest decline in >30 years - a period that includes a homebuilding depression and a 100-year financial crisis.

Trump is trying to kill solar powerβ€”here's how to fight back Rooftop solar is a clean power miracle. Why are we killing it with red tape?

β€œIt’s so cheap to build a solar panel now. It’s cheaper than producing a plank of wood…But we’ve swaddled this engineering miracle in rolls and rolls of red tape to make it too expensive for American families.”
