Normality has left the building

The people walking by as if nothing is happening at all. WTF.

She is EXTRA!!

Carsie Blanton, everybody. 👑

It’s amazing to watch the grassroots activation happening around food insecurity in our county Democratic Party. Scores of people finding ways to help, sharing info, taking action to get food into the hands of housed and unhoused neighbors. #Grassroots #orpol

Federal agents told Portland police to 'help or get out of the way' after firing pepper balls at local officer The confrontation between local law enforcement and federal agents will be detailed in court as Oregon fights Trump's attempt to deploy National Guard troops.

Federal officers “gassed” Portland police officers and fired pepper balls at one local officer outside the U.S. Immigration and Enforcement building in the city in the past month.

This could also be phrased as: this administration is wantonly murdering people and committing war crimes that they must be held accountable for!

I like this reframe. Lawless administration violating statute after statute. Republican Congress members truant for work — won’t go to DC, won’t hold town halls. Democrats in DC and districts working and ready to negotiate.

Throw the republicans out!!

💩Couldn’t not share.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

Disgusting people these ice.

Think SNAP benefits cutoff won’t affect you? Think again.

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people? Does anyone work anymore?"

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

We have some outstanding city leaders in Portland, and Councilor Candace Avalos is one of the best and most progressive. This news is horrifying. #orpol #portland

Maybe he should do like other people who make mistakes with tattoos: have it removed. He wakes up and looks at that thing every day after his shower.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Trump and his fascist ilk have got to go.

losers and suckers VOTE! Remember Who You're Voting for...

I think it is paid for by a PAC non affiliated with a campaign. The fine print names this PAC. It is an opposition ad.

Absolutely gorgeous .

It’s breaking my heart.

Are there people celebrating it?

What could I add?

Great timeline. I wonder why no independent autopsy results have been released yet.

A small frog statue leans over a pool of water filled with autumn leaves. A view from Pill Hill across to Mount Hood is behind it.

I saw this little Portland frog at the top stop of the OHSU tram. I wonder if there are more frogs around Portland?

Er, Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau? My pop culture ears are no longer to the ground apparently. Must be the muffling shadow of fascism.

He should though.

And Jackdaws. I recently saw a jackdaw and identified it with research and learned amazing things about corvids. Smarties!

Ermagerd.

Today for #nokings I joined a friend with limited mobility on a street corner near her house. More friends joined us. I was reminded: always always always honk for people whose street signs and activism you support. It’s so buoying! #portland #wehavefriendseverywhere

Lawless administration.
