The Fair Witness 🌈⚖️🇺🇸

A meme with white text over a plain black background that reads: “Rescue Porn: Memes, posts, or essays that suggest Trump or his authoritarian takeover will be stopped by the latest gaffe, whistleblower, or smoking gun.”

Hey, if it feels good… right?

Screenshot of live updates from the Citizen app taken at 10:21 pm PT on 2025/10/5 showing escalating protests in Portland outside the Department of Homeland Security and ICE offices. The top update reports ICE agents on a roof firing six pepper rounds toward protesters after some crossed the property line. Another update describes multiple protest groups clashing—one shouting anti-Antifa slogans, another chanting “I am Charlie” and “Whose streets? Our streets!” The image footer reads “via Citizen app.” https://go.citizen.com/ZnOYTD6KeXb

MAGA Brownshirts showing up at Portland’s ICE protest last night chanting about Kirk’s death marks a significant but predictable turn in the scripted Project 2025 meta-narrative—one that I’m afraid will play out in Blue cities across America in the weeks and months ahead.

California governor says Trump is sending 300 California National Guard members to Oregon California Gov. Gavin Newsom says the Trump administration is sending 300 California National Guard members to Oregon.

Trump didn’t even need to appeal yesterday’s order blocking his federalization of the Oregon National Guard. He just grabbed them from California. He’s got 50 states to freely choose from, but he picked California to rub it in.

As NPR found in Memphis, many well-meaning Americans wouldn’t mind “a touch” of fascism to clean up their streets. An NPR/PBS News/Marist poll earlier this week found 52% support Trump deploying the National Guard in cities to fight crime.

But fascism never stops at just “a touch.”

Emergency naked bike ride planned amid Portland troop deployment After President Donald Trump announced plans to deploy the Oregon National Guard to Portland, the Portland World Naked Bike Ride said Wednesday the group is planning an emergency ride in protest.

Portland’s naked bike ride protest could spotlight the deployment of National Guard troops into Blue cities. But it could also create viral videos of federal agents dragging naked “Antifa” protesters off their bikes for the administration to blast on Fox News and Truth Social. Stay tuned!

That’s a real feather in your cap.

Red-and-black graphic of the White House with bold white text mimicking Trump’s infamous “grab them” quote. It reads: “I’m automatically attracted to blue cities. I just start occupying them. I just send in the National Guard. I don’t even declare martial law. And when you’re a president, they let you do it. You can do anything.”

“When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.”

I’m right there this week. 👀

Bookmarking this little bit of premature glee for November 4, 2026. 🗓️

A man in a navy suit walks across a stadium floor while carrying a large wooden cross on wheels. The stadium is packed with people and banners for the Arizona Cardinals football team and an American flag hang overhead. A large screen shows a singer performing, and a giant poster of Charlie Kirk is displayed in the background.

Could there be a more fitting image of religion in America today than a man carry the burden of the cross on wheels?

At least I now understand why they’re called “holy rollers”.

A text message exchange. First message (gray bubble with the sender’s name redacted): “Headed to the chicken to collect people for the rapture.” Second message (green bubble): “The rapture is not until Tuesday!” A blue “HA HA” reaction appears above the green message.

The moment in the group message thread when you forgot “The Rapture” is playing at the music festival.

Anyways, everyone meet up at the chicken tomorrow! 🐓

Meme with caption “Meet our thinnest phone ever!!” followed by “The phone:”. The image shows a bright orange iPhone with an exaggeratedly bulky rectangular camera block sticking out from the top, making the phone look thin but absurdly awkward.

Me: “How’s the battery life?”

Apple: “Oh, it’s the same.”

Of all people, you’d think farmers would understand that we reap what we sow. 🤷🏼‍♀️

The Digital Soldiers Taking America’s Forever Wars Online In this online battles pace, victory is fleeting and defeat never final, but the casualties are all too real—of fact and truth, memory and reality.

Echoes of Flynn’s “digital soldiers.” Hours after Kirk’s murder, a domain was registered. Far-right influencers then broadcast their doxing orders. And now MAGA ground troops are reporting whomever they want to cancel by the thousands. The digital battlefield is real and the casualties are coming.

I have a feeling Vance won’t be telling Kirk’s viewers to “stand back and stand by.”

South Korea asks US to let detained workers leave without handcuffs South Korea asked its ally the United States on Wednesday to allow hundreds of Korean workers to leave the country quickly and without handcuffs after they were detained in an immigration raid on a Hyundai construction site in the state of Georgia.

What about the dispute over the handcuffs? (They were ultimately allowed to board the plane home without them.)

Trump says he'll send National Guard to 'deeply troubled' Memphis President Trump announced in that the federal government is planning to surge federal forces, National Guard and even "the military, too," if needed into Memphis.

Here it comes for the Blue cities in Red states.

They’ve gaslit us right up to the gas chamber door, and we’re still hoping what comes next is a shower?

Looking at the drawing, Donald Trump is clearly a c*nt.

Democrats playing hardball is long overdue but what’s to stop Senate Republicans from stripping Democrats of their power to shut down the government by ending the Senate’s filibuster rule with a simple majority vote (just like Democrats always could have done when they’ve controlled the Senate)?
