You go to Butlerian jihad with the army you have, not the army you might want or wish to have at a later time

Feds grant ICE building access to conservative media, influencers, ignore local Portland press Not all news organizations have been granted the same access to the ICE facility and the people who work there.

The Feds are giving right wing influencers and media outlets special privileges to the ICE building in Portland. They’re lying about local media getting the same access.

The Oregonian editorial board is a mouthpiece for Portland’s wealthiest and most powerful institutional and political actors.

Their goal since 2020 has been to weaponize and exaggerate deteriorating social conditions as a way to advance a right wing political project.

They are running from it now.

Federal agents fire tear gas, make multiple arrests during protest outside Portland ICE facility Hundreds of protesters marched to facility from nearby Elizabeth Carruthers Park in Southwest Portland.

Federal officers gassed a crowd of hundreds of protesters today outside the ICE facility in Portland.

Really trying to go live my life in Portland for the rest of the day but my last thought is that loser covert Republicans & Schnitzers & the Portland Metro Chamber have the NYT but we have the numbers & the votes & the will & the energy & the joy and the rage & stupid articles can't take that away

Portland said it was investing in homeless people’s safety. Deaths have skyrocketed. The city responded to an increase in homeless deaths by intensifying encampment sweeps and adding emergency shelter at the expense of permanent housing. Experts say this has perpetuated the problem.

In case out-of-towers want to know about some actual problems Portland faces:

rene gonzalez embracing Trumpism to satisfy his brand of grievance politics is disgraceful. he’s directly embracing NSPM-7 which essentially labels anything in opposition to Trumpism as terrorism. completely mask off.

Sokath, his eyes uncovered!

Thank you for your email. There is a temporary shutdown of the U.S. government due to a lapse in appropriations. I will respond to your message as soon as possible after the temporary shutdown ends. Please visit ED.gov for the latest information on the Department's operational status. Thank you.

Thank you for contacting me. On September 19, 2025, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 5371, a clean continuing resolution. Unfortunately, Democrat Senators are blocking passage of H.R. 5371 in the Senate which has led to a lapse in appropriations. Due to the lapse in appropriations I am currently in furlough status. I will respond to emails once government functions resume.

NEW—US Department of Education sent out standard Out of Office language to employees on Wednesday in light of shutdown. Later yesterday, workers tell me they found someone had updated their auto-responses without consent to a new one blaming Democrats.

City councilor urges military to reject Portland deployment After President Donald Trump ordered 200 National Guard troops to Portland, a city councilor is encouraging service members to reject the deployment orders.

After President Donald Trump ordered 200 National Guard troops to Portland, a city councilor is encouraging service members to reject the deployment.

Trump’s deployment of troops to Portland is a dangerous escalation of authoritarianism. Now is the time to find our own ways of standing up and fighting back to preserve our democracy. Fellow vets: we need you to muster. And those serving: you can refuse an unlawful order as you may receive it.

We’re going to see articles of impeachment for doing these crimes, right? Or is Congress just going to tolerate a president that conducts extrajudicial murders?

Do you wish you lived in a city where you could simply buy some street food, like a delicious hot dog, while boppin around the city? Then you're going to want to submit written testimony or sign up to speak in favor at the Arts & Economy Committee next Tuesday.

Looking forward to the clips of picking up turtles in SMB

Trump Sanctions Palestinian Human Rights Groups for Doing Their Job. Anybody Could Be Next. Trump sanctioned Palestinian human rights groups for using lawful, peaceful tools of advocacy. Anybody could be next.

to be clear, sanctioning three eminent Palestinian human rights organizations for their *legal work* is an unprecedented US attack on global civic society.

it wont end here.

Liberals are doing the right’s job for it.

By lionizing Charlie Kirk and refusing to acknowledge his real political project, they’re giving power to the right’s completely predictable effort to use his death to forward their goal of an authoritarian, fascist state.

Will do some kind of post-trip summary, but the most fascinating thing I learned was that not only does Vienna have an institution for workers that functions the way any chamber of commerce works (e.g., lobbying resources for all workers), but that they do legal defense for tenants and win.

After years of back room deals and overwhelming community opposition to Zenith, Portlanders have still never been asked if they want to site more and more liquid fuels on liquefiable soils on the banks of the Willamette.

The city weakened its rules to allow this project in Zenith’s recent LUCS.

Legal Issues Raised by a Lethal U.S. Military Attack in the Caribbean The Trump administration’s extraordinary lethal attack on this purported smuggling vessel raises significant potential legal issues.

1/ I worked at DoD. I literally cannot imagine lawyers coming up with a legal basis for lethal strike of suspected Venezuelan drug boat.

Hard to see how this would not be "murder" or war crime under international law that DoD considers applicable.

How is this 28 year old piece of shit not in a prison cell? What Dem is going to call for hearings and prosecution of DOGE staffers? “Nate” would be lucky to die in prison. A living argument for Thunderdome.

A few bad crackers spoiled the whole barrel?

Well, Portland - I've just finished getting through the 2026 Small Donor Elections program. Consider this a "soft-launch" of my reelection campaign. Like what I've done so far and want to see it continue? Please donate $5-$25 today to help me unlock those matching funds

Wow, this is a concise list of all of the politics that I oppose, that I ran to oppose and will continue to oppose. Absolutely disgraceful to continue trafficking in the tax flight myth without sufficient evidence and with Trump’s tax cuts for the rich as wind in their sails.
