MYTH: ICE agents lack proper training. FACT: Most have been racists their entire lives.

Hey PdX...
ICE just rolled out over a dozen rented SUVs (at 8:30 on a Sunday).

Trump on Portland: "It's like the movies you see for the kids, I guess not only the kids, adults also, where you have these bombed out cities and these bombed out people. It's like, worse than that."

Tarrio is in PdX, be wary!

Things are likely to be spicy in BridgeCity, if you are going to music festivals.

From people I know in PdX
Heads up, Joey Gibson, and known Proud Boys have been seen downtown. They have folks in all black act like they are against ICE, but then get into vehicles with Joey and co.
If you see them, RECORD THEM. It looks like they are trying to cause trouble and violence.

THIS POST IS JUST TO RAISE AWARENESS. THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR A PROTEST. A local extremist church is organizing a significant conservative Christian gospel event featuring contemporary country music artists appealing to the right-wing Christian community. While mainstream conservative Christians and families will attend for the free show, participants from fringe groups like the Proud Boys, Patriot Prayer, right-wing militias, and January 6th rioters are also expected due to the organizer's membership, extremist rhetoric and doctrine. Promoted as a "PDX Crusade," the organizers aim to establish Portland as a stronghold for Christianity in the PNW. Their promotional material has explicitly targeted Portland and its reputation as a liberal sanctuary, even quoting President Trump and Joe Rogan, and features primarily footage of riots and poverty, blaming such conditions on a lack of Christian faith in our local communities. The pastor also leans heavily on debunked antisemitic conspiracy theories to boost his message, exploiting popular right-wing grievances and false narratives about Portland as a means to lure unwitting mainstream Christians to his extremist church for his own personal gain. Let's be clear: this event is nothing short of a con to help fulfill his megachurch ambitions. Revealing his church's members, lineage and doctrine has been especially concerning. That being said, a large majority of the crowd will be mostly peaceful conservatives and naive but harmless families who are excited to see a free concert featuring bands and speakers they enjoy. This is NOT a thinly-veiled attempt to cause violence in Portland like previous rallies organized by Patriot Prayer and Proud Boys. However, leftist spaces in Portland should take necessary precautions, as some of the same individuals who participated in said violence WILL be in Portland over the weekend, especially the Moda Center area.

Calling it a night for protesting in front of HBPD, thank you to everyone that showed up. We’re going to make it a nightly thing for as long as ICE and the National Guard are in LA, so if you didn’t make it this time, I’ll see you next time!

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns

los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

FREE DAVID HUERTA STOP ICE RAIDS NOW David Huerta is being held as a political prisoner for exercising his First Amendment Rights. His arraignment is Monday. Rally to Demand Justice for David Huerta Monday, 6/9 @ 11am Gloria Molina Grand Park, Los Angeles

David Huerta, the local president of SEIU United Service Workers West, was injured and arrested by federal agents in the midst of a fascist and chaotic immigration “enforcement” event on Friday in Los Angeles. Since then, the current admin is “deploying” to provoke unrest in California.

I have no respect for ANY athlete that visits this White House.

You are unAmerican if you do so, as is anyone who supports or enables this administration.

Let me repeat that.

You actions are in *direct* opposition to the Declaration of Independence.

63 studies: women who assert their ideas, make direct requests, and advocate for themselves are liked less.

They're also less likely to get hired—and it hasn't improved over time.

When will we stop punishing women for violating outdated gender stereotypes?

A thing people can do to make sure their fellow Americans know what is going on is hand out flyers at transit hubs, malls, etc with some data points and the URL/QR codes to more resources.

And high school and high ed campuses

Colorado…

BREAKING: 34,000 people have showed up in Denver, Colorado this evening to see Bernie Sanders and AOC fight oligarchy and authoritarianism.

Now that I am finished screaming into the void about schooling for kids with disabilities being assigned to RFK: understand what this means.

He’s lumping accommodations into HHS, meaning those needs are now considered medicalized. Different from everyday education.

This is eugenics.

Trump demands Maine governor apologize — or the state will face consequences The Trump administration has sparred with Maine and singled out its governor in recent weeks over his order banning trans athletes from playing in women’s sports.

Trump is now demanding that the Governor of Maine apologize and “never” challenge him again or else the entire state will face consequences.

Opinion | What Autocrats Want From Academics: Servility In 1931, Italian scholars were made to take loyalty oaths. Will that happen to us?

"On October 8, 1931, a law went into effect requiring every Italian university professor to sign an oath pledging their loyalty to the government of Benito Mussolini. Out of over 1,200 professors in the country, only 12 refused. All of them were immediately fired." www.chronicle.com/article/what...

This is what one of my Senators will be doing on Tuesday instead of attending Trump’s address.
