Portland accuses federal officers of violating demonstrators’ constitutional rights Portland’s top attorney lambasted the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division Monday, in a letter accusing the department of turning a blind eye to federal officers’ heavy-handed response t...

Portland And Beyond This afternoon, Donald Trump was asked about invoking the Insurrection Act: “I’d do it if it was necessary.

Attempts to deploy federalized National Guardsmen to Oregon, California, & Illinois, also, signs that Trump, or at least someone around him, is starting to think seriously about the Insurrection Act. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

YouTube video by WFAA Trump warns military leaders of “Enemy from within”

Didn't we already get this message on 9/30/2025, when this was shared to the entire world, broadcast live, and specifically to nearly 800 US military commanders? The line used was also used by H*tler and N*zis like Reinhard Heydrich: "The Enemy from Within." Fact. www.youtube.com/shorts/v9DL_...

YouTube video by Rudolf Owens Two Blackhawks continued ongoing surveillance over Portland, OR, October 3, 2025

To those outside of #Portland: We're still having excessive military style tactics here, a nearly entirely boring and peaceful place. At least 1 Blackhawk is now circling again over the city at night, just to please those who care nothing for democracy. How it sounds.

To everyone outside of #Portland, we have folks doing peaceful protests here to defend democracy, the rule of law, Constitution, rights of everyone. How about sharing any visuals of that, which are all over the Internet and Bsky too. You don't have to parrot clickbait memes. bsky.app/profile/detr...

It's not a game, and I'm sure a laugh is good for everyone. You'd be more helpful sharing content to provide a clear and professional documentation of what's happening here. I'm pretty tired of Portland memes now with Blackhawks buzzing overhead. Is that a joke? No. www.opb.org/article/2025...

Pritzker is also furious: “Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”

If you live outside of #Portland, OR and want to help shape understanding based on facts and reality, instead of social media pics parroting people disengaged from what's happening to our country right now. Stop sharing frog/chicken man pics. This is from OPB. It's solid.

Illinois Sues to Block Trump’s Deployment of Texas National Guard in Chicago Read more here.

Eswatini confirms arrival of 10 more people as part of US deportation deal African kingdom receives second group of third-country nationals in what NGOs and lawyers say is violation of human rights

Amid the noise the last 48 hours in OR, stories that the administration was discussing sending the 82nd Airborne Division to a peaceful American city, in violation of longstanding federal law, got little follow-up here. NPR isn't covering it today. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/october-5-...

These posts are downright bizarre to read as I hear a Blackhawk buzzing overhead in Portland, on Oct. 5, 2025, where it's still a peaceful city. Did anyone involved in any of these communications in the thread below not see El*n's salute in front of the presidential podium on Jan. 20?

Bad Bunny is actually a very chill way to end a historic and yet totally normal day, which saw me clean my bathroom (so plebian) and connect with a good friend. Go figure that life goes on as history happens, as it always has.

This Trump administration policy of generating an artificial civil war on the basis of big lies is of course meant to be frightening but it is also anti-American, unlawful, stupid and pursued by wildly unpopular people.

State Terror A brief guide for Americans

The Vélodrome d'Hiver (Vél d'Hiv) Roundup | Holocaust Encyclopedia The Vélodrome d'Hiver (or Vél d'Hiv) roundup was the largest French deportation of Jews during the Holocaust. It took place in Paris on July 16–17, 1942.

For folks who don't know the pic, it's the only known one of the collaborating French regime rounding up thousands of Jews in Paris in July 1942, without any orders, and gathering them at an indoor bike racing track. Many would die later in Nazi camps.
