Thank you for tracking all of this, and for standing firm. This whole thing is chaotic and inhuman but the Republicans in office and the administration are responsible for this.

I hadn't thought about them tampering with/ginning up an AI version of the files (which seems obvious to me now). I was thinking it was just a panicky stalling tactic.

This person took this when they called the race

Standing up to Nazism - complete with the sound of guard dogs barking.

An amazing movement. I'm not on Instagram but I read that as of Wednesday they had raised over $200,000 from across the world. They expected to raise maybe a few hundred dollars. Consider donating!

Thank you, Senator Wyden!

Really consider this picture for a moment.

Happy birthday!!!

I suspect the protests are much scarier to the administration than they let on. Why? Because it proves that people can still connect, come together, and show their power. Of course it's more than just protests, but the protests are visible, tangible, overwhelming, terrifying evidence.

‘No Kings’ protest against Trump draws 40,000 in Portland “I am honestly shocked and frightened by what’s happening to our country," one participant said.

Troops to Portland still on hold, multiplying protest frogs, fact-check on Trump claims: Get caught up It’s unclear when the 9th Circuit panel will issue its ruling, but it will likely come before an Oct. 17 hearing.

And the frogs are coming together. 🐸 Frogs together strong!

‘I’ve definitely had spicier tamales,’ says Portland ICE protest frog that got pepper sprayed by federal agents The 24-year-old talks about the spray, the viral video and why he’s protesting.

On the other hand, this awesome person speaks full truth.

Kristi Noem calls Oregon leaders liars, says feds will ‘double down’ in Portland The remarks came two days after Noem made an appearance Tuesday at South Portland’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement building, the site of protests since June.

The shamelessness and the propaganda - coming from Noem in particular but the whole administration - is truly Nazi-level shit. I don't use that word lightly. Read Safire's Berlin Diary and you'll see the parallels. An aggressive imposition of a false narrative.

"My power is now infinite" - love it. Waiting for my Sag time later this year :)

Including the video they're playing. Yes, ICE did set off a cloud of pink gas against the peaceful protesters, as you can see.

Just FYI, everything this person is saying is complete bullshit. Full stop.

Government helicopters keep watch over Portland ICE office, rattling neighborhoods FAA restricted airspace over South and Southwest Portland through Oct. 17 for "special security reasons."
