If you're in Portland, go take some video of how nothing is going on there.

Document that Trump is invading for no reason.

My Father trained at Great Lakes before shipping out for the Pacific theater in WWII. He was so proud (if unforthcoming about details like most WWII vets) of his Navy service. He would be horrified by what is happening. I find myself grateful he is not seeing our country destroy what he fought for.

Seeing lots of accounts referring to this as “possibly illegal” and “of questionable legality.”

This is straight-up illegal and punishable by two years in prison.

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.
