We looked at the cohort of right-wing influencers who have flocked to Portland to make MAGA agitprop

Look yourself in the mirror.

Millions of people are experiencing deliberate starvation right now. Jewish people all around the world are risking their freedom to protest the genocide Zionists are committing in their name. Why won't you listen?

"Never again" is now—and you are failing the test.

Rutgers professor moving to Europe after threats over antifa accusations Mark Bray says threats intensified after a Turning Point USA petition accused him of promoting political violence

Solidarity with @mark-bray.bsky.social, a fantastic, thoughtful, and generous scholar whose work about antifa is so important in this moment.

Why do you seem surprised?

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE
Truth: No cars rammed ICE

Claim: She boxed ICE in
Truth: ICE boxed her in

Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE
Truth: She did not have a rifle

Claim: ICE returned fire
Truth: Only ICE fired

Claim: She drove herself to the hospital
Truth: Paramedics found her

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

Totally not eerie or weird to be laying in bed listening to helicopters traverse the airspace over my city. Feels like foreshadowing.

Judge: That's what I'll do. Prohibit federalization or deployment of any NG troops into Oregon. For all reasons in prior opinion. Deployment of federalized military is ultra vires and contrary to law, violating Title 10, section 12406. I also find it's likely that defendants violate 10th Amendment.

Oregon (Kennedy): I think it would be appropriate for the court to issue separate 2nd TRO and incorporate by reference reasoning of initial TRO. Now we'd need to broaden: apply to deploying federalized members of NG of *any* state into Oregon.

MEMORANDUM OF LAW I. INTRODUCTION Yesterday, this Court recognized that the legal principles at stake in this case “go[] to the heart of what it means to live under the rule of law in the United States.” Opinion & Order Granting Mot. for Temporary Restraining Order (“Order”), ECF 56 at 2. Applying those principles, this Court concluded that Defendants likely lacked authority to federalize Oregon National Guard members and ordered Defendants to halt federalization for 14 days. Defendants filed a notice of appeal last night (Ntc. of Appeal, ECF 57), and they have now asked the Ninth Circuit to stay the effect of this Court’s decision. Not content with this Court’s or the Ninth Circuit’s judgment, Defendants are now in the process of circumventing this Court's Order. After this Court ruled that 10 U.S.C. § 12406 could not justify federalizing the Oregon National Guard to deploy them to Portland, Defendants have deployed members of the California National Guard to Portland—servicemembers who were federalized under that very same Title 10 authority for deployment in Los Angeles. That redeployment is illegal: Setting aside whether the underlying federalization order from August violated Section 12406, the federalization order clearly did not contemplate the use of California

NEW: California joins Oregon and Portland in asking Judge Immergut for a SECOND temporary restraining order blocking the Trump admin from "circumventing this Court's Order" by deploying the federalized California National Guard to Portland. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Judge Diane Goodstein's house burned to the ground after threats from her September 2025 ruling that blocked the DOJ access to sensitive voter registration data.

This is one of the ice members in Portland.

ICE is hog tying protesters in Portland and removing them on Dollies.

This is dangerous and could cause serious injury.

The Department of Homeland Security thinks it’s a joke.

They’ve shared this video with the tagline “Refuse to Walk? We’ll give you a ride”.

Stay strong Portland.

If you really want to abolish the filibuster you need to yank it out at the roots by abolishing the senate

In the hopeful column goes Curtis Yarvin ranting about how he's making plans to flee the country because Miller hasn't moved hard enough to abolish the entire judiciary and so will fail.

With the caveat that this is Yarvin, who is notoriously wrong about everything.

Do not post dearrest videos, fam.

There's literally a subprime car loan crisis going on, two automotive finance companies went bankrupt in the last few weeks, been a rash of squeamish headlines about private equity and finance, high-interest buy now pay later schemes for GROCERIES and medical bills have become a massive industry

Catching charges for your own stabbing is quite the feat lol

I try not to let the rage consume me, but the further we get into this the harder that is.

I’ve been having lots of thoughts similar to the little dude on the bottom left lately.

In 2008: Leftists: global revolution, abolish state violence, Libertarians: open borders, prosecute ICE, Reagan GOP: city on a hill, easy immigration 2016: gop takes off far to the right 2021: MAGA dipshits: flagrant nationalism, total police state, torture gulags, racial profiling, open nazi imagery, white identity politics, defending pedos

Someone on twitter posted the old Libertarian Party platform on immigration to emphasize how fucking batshit things have gotten. And yeah....

I think this can be true, and at the same time the administration is using them to rabble rouse and manufacture the pretext they so desperately want.

Remember: Andy Ngo is a threat to our community & provides kill lists for Atomwaffen

Damn it, time to dust off these old memes again, isn't it

PPB has Foster blocked and closed down from about 54th to 60th. A person was shot around 5:30am. We heard the shots from our house about 15 blocks away.

They’re in on it. It being the whole fascism thing.

What Happens When Socialists Are in Charge? Portland Offers a Glimpse.

Not only does this story get a number of basic facts wrong, it doesn’t take time to actually explore why Portlanders elected these folks. Coming in with a pre-baked PDX story to fit a NYT narrative about NYC is harmful, especially at this moment.
