Republicans post fake image of Oregon protest – using photos of South America A federal judge had blocked Trump’s request to deploy California national guard to Portland

They may need to just keep making things up

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

I’d missed this absolutely insane report that Miller nearly got the 82nd Airborne deployed here. I just can’t wrap my head around the fact that this lunatic has not encountered even the smallest bit of scrutiny from anyone in Congress or the media.

Lead dweeb: “Did ya get those antifa propaganda pictures like I asked?”

Assistant dweeb: “Sure did boss. All masked up and everything. Just like you asked.”

The way they lie about things that are obviously false is chilling

If you come under siege, you need plentiful stores of cheese.

Here’s the video of the incident

Love to see that Chicken Man’s post continues

Thanks, New Yorker

Milwaukie Man Says ICE Abducted and Held Him for Hours Despite His Proving Citizenship The case may be the first incidence of a documented Oregonian and U.S. citizen being swept up by ICE in an immigration raid.

Just another average, ordinary Kavanaugh Stop

The Leeds 2022/2023 season was a wild ride

There would be massive protests if a German club even considered it.

NWSL announced attendance:

Portland 21,104
Washington 17,422
Angel City 11,147 (Mon.)
Gotham 9,752
North Carolina 7,218
Houston 6,406
Chicago 3,710

It should be UEFA banning the practice. USSoccer fought against the move in US courts and lost, but the source of the issue is the demand for UEFA teams to play abroad. Australia is in the mix this round as well, so it’s clear UEFA should just put a stop to it before it becomes standard practice.

I would be furious if my Timbers played a home game abroad.

BREAKING: Columbus Crew midfielder and MLS legend Darlington Nagbe is retiring after the 2025 MLS season, per sources.

Nagbe, 35, is a four-time MLS Cup winner (2015, 2018, 2020, 2023) with three clubs (Portland, Atlanta, Columbus).

One of MLS's best-ever midfielders 👏

Darlington Nagbe with 2023 MLS Cup in Diego Valeri’s post

Darlington El egoísmo no encaja en el deporte colectivo. Hay que compartir la pelota. Sin embargo, Darlington Nagbe bien podría quedársela un partido entero y apuesto que nadie se la sacaría. El capitán de Columbus es un alma humilde y un soberbio jugador de fútbol. Hace 10 años lo conocí y era un wing derecho desequilibrante con gol. Hoy es un mediocampista que entiende todo lo que necesita su equipo. Porque este es "su" equipo. El pequeño hombre silencioso se empodera cuando juega. Así habla. En el silencio llora las injusticias y mastica los caramelos del dolor. Esta profesión tiene sus nubes grises. Nagbe es un sol. Se hace grande en el campo de juego, su sonrisa brilla en el escenario, levanta un trofeo más como lo hizo en cada club en el que jugó. Si algún día tengo nietos, y me preguntan del fútbol de Estados Unidos, voy a contarles que jugué con él. Darlington Selfishness doesn't fit into team sports. The ball must be shared. However, Darlington Nagbe could very well keep it at his feet for an entire match, and I bet no one would take it away. The captain of Columbus is a humble soul and an outstanding football player. I met him 10 years ago, and he was a dazzling right winger with a scoring touch. Today, he's a midfielder who understands everything his team needs. Because this is "his" team. The quiet little man empowers himself when he plays. That's how he speaks. In silence, he mourns injustices and savors the candies of pain. This profession has its gray clouds. Nagbe is a sun. He grows on the field, his smile shines on the stage, holding a trophy in his hands, as he did in every club he played for. If I ever have grandchildren and they ask about soccer in the United States, I will tell them that I played with him.

Diego Valeri wrote about Nagbe “If I ever have grandchildren and they ask about soccer in the United States, I will tell them that I played with him”

If I ever have grandchildren, I will tell them that I watched him

Extremely on point, sadly:

“I will also say the patient and productive patterns of play the Sounders strung together on their goal? The Timbers don’t do that. And I don’t think that’s solely a mentality thing.”

MLS Winners and Losers: Ernst Tanner’s Philadelphia Union win the Shield, FC Dallas thrive & more The Philadelphia Union lifted the Supporters’ Shield, Petar Musa and Eric Quill are red-hot, and a few Western Conference teams are panicking.

“We made the change and it turned out to be the right thing."

Ernst Tanner made an unpopular decision by firing Jim Curtin — and now his Philadelphia Union are Shield winners 🛡️

With clear style + top-tier recruitment, Philly are on top. For @backheeled.com ⤵️

Judge issues new broader order barring any National Guard from relocating to Oregon U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut issued a second broader temporary restraining order late Sunday night.

Judge issues new broader order barring any National Guard from relocating to Oregon

TLDR: Judge Immergut GRANTS a 2nd TRO blocking the Trump admin from sending ANY federalized troops from ANY state into Oregon/Portland. (Full hearing thread below)

1) Trump-appointed judge rules admin cannot deploy Oregon National Guard to Portland 2) Trump admin deploys California Guard there instead, circumventing her ruling 3) CA joins Portland/Oregon in filing for a second temporary restraining order 4) judge schedules emergency hearing (about to start)

DOJ: President determined in June that CA NG had to be federalized, and ...

Judge: Mr. Hamilton, Mr. Hamilton, if it were the case that you could federalize NG in one place and simply send to another place where pres doesn't have authority to federalize NG, what would purpose of 12406 be?

MLS’s greatest bromance

That’s a soccer team alright

I didn’t have “Portland is at the center of a constitutional crisis because ICE is afraid of a guy in a frog costume” on my bingo card.

But here we are.

Tbf, there’s also a guy in a chicken suit…

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.
