Yep, same

Thank you!!! 🥰 You are always welcome here!!!!

Group plans puppy party protest to say: ‘Paws off Portland!’ Some four-legged friends are being pulled into Portland's political tug of war.

Today, there is going to be a puppy protest.

"No violence against our people, our dogs, or our communities."

Is it a coincidence that it is happening the same day notorious dog-murderer Kristi Noem is in Portland? 🤔 Unclear.

But we are here 👏 for 👏 it 👏

I mean, we even have paddling protest witches:

I'll take a look around. I used to follow some protest witches in what has become Elon's hellscape, but I can't remember if I've seen them on here. I don't take my phone down there.

the benefit of the doubt. They learned that lesson from last time.

And it also means the people in our city will not stop and will not give up. And the whole city from top to bottom knows that, so everyone can make decisions accordingly.

Not to mention all the tactical lessons we learned 😏

This isn't our first rodeo, and I don't say that because we're not taking it seriously, more like the opposite. It was difficult to recover from the damage the feds did last time, repuationally and kind of psychologically. But it also means our elected officials absolutely will not give the feds

YouTube video by FREEDOMNEWS TV - NATIONAL / SCOOTERCASTER PORTLAND FROG is Back after being "Pepper Sprayed In the Vent"

I mean, we're having an "Emergency World Naked Bike Ride" this weekend to protest the threat of the national guard deployment, and this is actual footage of the ongoing protest outside the ICE facility from this weekend:

Lol yeah, it's definitely different out here. Oregon is full of contrarian, independent spirit, but as Portland has grown over the last 50-ish years that's been channeled into a fight for your values, wear your 💚 on your sleeve, stand up for the little guy vibe. With a lot of joyful weirdness on top

it. People are salty about it. They basically made 2/3rds of the city hate the chamber of commerce (they even had to re-brand, but didn't actually change), and big business (not actual big - Portland big) more broadly. That's how we ended up with charter reform and so many DSA councilors

Some of that, but Portland (biggest city in the state and over 57% of GDP) saw progressive policies turn the city into a place where people really WANTED to live. We had a few years of "moderates" (might be R's somewhere else) take control and throw their weight around and people REALLY did not like

Hi. That raid on the Chicago apartment building? The one where they zip tied crying children and dragged them into the street? They did it for Wells Fargo

I wish they would just go b out of business. I know we need more journalism, not less, but not when it's disingenuous and masquerades as bastion of liberalism. It's a bastion of everything wrong with liberalism.

Lindsey Graham, if he doesn't get a Best Supporting Actress Oscar this year -- well then, Antifa must have fixed the voting.

Boy oh boy. Your posts are full of beaches, flowers, and farm animals, but you're comments are full of cruelty, ignorance, and callousness.

Have the day you deserve.

WIC runs out this week

The Republican Party in Oregon is using footage from South America to make a fake photo of protests in Portland.

The only thing not showing up does is make their job easier for them.

The more people who listen to you and other foolish people saying "don't show up," the more people will be killed.

Inciting violence against people working within what used to be the normal bounds of the law.

The idea that if people don't show up he'll look dumb is absolutely ridiculous. *They do not care about reality.* They are using footage of Portland from years ago to justify sending the national guard.

And detaining them. Shooting us. Dragging us through the streets. Smashing our cars and our houses and our businesses. Snatching us away from our children. Labeling not just those visibly opposed, but even those who just aren't in support, as terrorists. And indirectly, by normalizing, encouraging,

At best, a joke. Or who knows, maybe you're working for them.
Laying violent traps for us to fall into? They don't need violent traps. They are already perpetrating violence with impunity. Directly, like dragging children and US citizens or of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tying them,

Un-serious ideas deserve un-serious responses. If you can't look at past instances of fascism AND their tactics over the last 10 years and see that every one of their tactics that is not visibly and forcefully opposed is more ground they gain and an opportunity to push things even further, you are,

Let it never again be said that a woman with no real reporting experience who fell for a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" cannot be the head of a huge news organization

Ah yes. Leave fascism and intimidation unopposed. That usually works really well.

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...

Reddit post from r/Portland saying they were impressed with how the Portland police bureau conducted themselves and that they're grateful for their professionalism given the current rhetoric at the federal level

Here's a reddit post I just saw about it. The Co rents section is full of people pretty much saying "I never thought I'd see the day."

The wonks are only working on this because there have been several bills requiring them to look into it. (SB 770 -2019; SB 1089 - 2023)

Post text: I think kotek would support it too, honestly (referring to health care for all). It's being developed in-house by her own works and the only industry that would lobby against it is insurance companies, not her precious Intel

I wouldn't bet on it. Healthcare would lobby against it too. Kotek's shown she's willing to bend over backwards & then some for corporate interests & donors. She's willing to throw foster kids and preschoolers under the bus for *less* than she could get from killing this.

presence, not on the ground harassing the protesters, just circling the area a few blocks out to monitor, and the feds were much more subdued. (Saturday night there had just been some bike cops)

This may be a time for non-traditional alignment.

Hey, Illinois, for what it's worth, from Portland: You may have heard, our cops are not wildly popular. Even so, they testified in court that the feds are actively instigating conflicts at our ICE facility.

And, the feds ramped things up Saturday, so on Sunday the cops increased their (contd.)
