with Portland there's the depressing addendum that 90% of why this is happening is the right wing media grifter ecosystem got badly addicted to viral Portland content during the Trump years and they've been fiending for another hit ever since

Burns: “It's up to us, the good people of the United States, to put a stop to this. We must take to the streets every day and keep showing up until those in charge are forced to change.”

Why doesn't he come see it for himself?

Pretty sus

Probably about 100 people here total. VERY subdued. A dominoes pizza delivery guy just easily sailed through to drop off some pies and went on with his night.

Tired: Keep Portland Weird

Fun times when you have to get a restraining order against the government.

sometimes you just need to chug a can of sparkling water

Remember when all the internet talked about was what color that ugly dress was?

VERY chill out here tonight at ICE processing facility south of downtown Portland. Federal Judge (Immergut, appointed by Trump) just made ruling from the bench no federalized Guard to Portland from anywhere period.

“It’s not fascism unless it’s pure totalitarianism” is a view no scholar of fascism holds, or has in fact ever seriously held. Fascism is an ideology, and has several different stages. I don’t understand where people are getting this stuff.

It was a beautiful Sunday in Portland. Farmer’s markets, the Portland Marathon, peaceful protests, and some views of Mt. Hood. This city is vibrant, peaceful, and resilient. We do not need a federal occupation, and we sure as hell don’t want one.

Happy Donald Pleasence Day, everybody!

The internet peaked with Livejournal. Should have stopped there.

If we ever have another election, let's not elect Fox News Grandpa as president, ok?

This dementia-addled old turd said the same thing about Minneapolis five years ago even though it was, and remains, 100% still here. Long past time to put grandpa in a fuckin home.

I live near downtown Portland. It's chill as fuck. Leave us alone.

Portland traffic cameras at this exact minute.

Nothing is burning.

Just a whole bunch of lies. What is the point of the West Coast being part of the US if we're just going to be constantly abused?

Dozens of military veterans gather with a banner that reads: "Veterans Against Trump's War on US Soil"

Veterans & supporters gathered at Portland City Hall, urging active-duty service members to disobey any orders to deploy to American cities. "You do not need to follow unlawful orders...you have an obligation to defect from a military that is no longer functioning in the interests of its people."
