Portland is so peaceful Republicans had to go all the way to South America to find photos from years ago for their bad memes.

A rough, bright pastel sketch of trump from a video, mouth open, palms out, probably saying something about Portland burning, as the inflatable-suit frog from the Portland ICE protests looms up close behind him.

Was painting. Got sidetracked by pastels and kaiju.

Republicans post fake image of Oregon protest – using photos of South America A federal judge had blocked Trump’s request to deploy California national guard to Portland

The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest — but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Portlanders know who we are. We take care of one another, we stay peaceful, and we will not let Trump’s chaos define our city.

Globalists don’t believe in boundaries.

Nation-wise, continentally, otherwise.

Seeing US funds sent to build up other nations relates more to what their financial partners in capitalism see as lucrative future holdings than what is beneficial to the common person in America.

Black text on white background reads: If you look at their associate’s pattern of financially degrading prime areas of property you’ll notice a pattern. The Willamette Valley is Prime property in America. I wonder what Illinois has to offer for vulture capitalists? This relates to the current fixation on bullying Portland, Oregon and other “Blue” cities.

Current affairs.

The way John Wick feels about his dog is how I feel about Portland Oregon

I am grateful today a judge granted a restraining order to block the National Guard from being deployed in Portland.

But Trump’s lawless provocation will continue. Our response is simple: stay calm and do not take the bait.

National Guard troops temporarily blocked from deploying to Portland, judge rules The president, the judge wrote, is entitled to a "great level of deference" but not "ignoring the facts on the ground.”

Trump appointed U.S. District Judge Karin J Immergut rejected the federal government’s assertion that #Portland faces a “danger of rebellion” Order expires at 11:59 pm Oct. 18.

Deeply and beautifully expressed Tom.

It can be painful and scary to find that bridge, and dangerous too. But it’s the strongest path forward, individually and collectively. My approach is to create community events. Presently they look like open mics and socials for creatives. Small but mighty. ✌️

This is a long read.
This is worthy of your time.

If you were to read just one piece by The Original Tom Joad, it ought to be this one.

Step out of your comfort zone and build community where you are. It is the strongest path forward.

Since it’s always projection in oppositeland, I’ll have to agree.

"This is going to be a big thing for the people in this room, because it's the enemy from within, and we have to handle it before it gets out of control," "It won't get out of control once you're involved at all."~t

“Oregonians know this is bullshit,” Oregon Governor Kotek says.

This is absurd. I literally biked there yesterday to report, ergo the helmet hair in my videos.

Good to see that he is withdrawing from his declared war on Portland and simultaneously very much more concerning altogether.

Telephone town hall Tuesday, September 30 at 5:45 pm. Sign up for a call in the from in bio or at Dexter.House.Gov/Live

Trump is sending troops to Portland to distract & divide us. We won’t fall for it. We are united in protecting the city we love & its people.
Join my telephone town hall Tuesday to hear how we protect our community’s values & get through this together. RSVP in bio or stream at Dexter.House.Gov/Live.

Authoritarians rely on fear to divide us. Portland will not give them that. We won't be intimidated. We have prepared for this moment since Trump took office & we will meet it with every tool available: litigation, legislation & peaceful public pressure. Stay safe, stay peaceful & stay together.

I interpret it as the teachings they consume are cherry picked and dictated to them. They don’t follow the same teachings we do from the same book. It’s been warped by their leaders for so long that they can’t quite break through to understand the grift they are subjecting themselves to.

Please everyone in #WarRavagedPortland post your best photographs of the devastation there so that you will not suffer alone!!

Oh my goodness, giant puppets and happy music in the park downtown in Portland. Save us from all of this enjoyment… #warravagedportland

In Klamath Falls, Oregon, victory declared over antifa, which never showed up Towns from Washington state to Indiana have seen armed groups begin patrolling the streets after rumors spread on social media about an antifa invasion.

Five years ago, @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social and I did a story about rural Oregon's fever dream that Antifa was coming to their town from Portland.

Hundreds showed up armed downtown because they heard on Facebook that "Antifa buses" were coming.

No buses came so they said Antifa "retreated."
