Attn Black people, stop scrolling.

I just finished it, and my own ugly cry. It left me in awe.

More guns than peopleโ€ฆ

Is it freedom or a national death cult that keeps growing?

I did not know that - I hope it's the progress they wanted. Still, lots of memories there

In 2020, federal troops rampaged through Portland: unmarked cars, tear gas, rubber bullets. I was there. It was hellish.

But we got through it then, and we will again. Portlanders are resilient. Stay peaceful, protect your rights, take care of each other. ๐Ÿ’›

Portland, Oregon is a terrific city - it is not and has not been war torn. No federal occupation necessary or wanted as far as I can tell as a recent former resident and visitor with lots and lots of friends and connections and work there.

@tinakotek.bsky.social Portlander here - we don't need national troops in our city, in our state.
What can we, as citizens, do to hel you push back?

I'm asking all Oregonians to find your legislators oregonlegislature.gov call/write/visit. This land is OUR land and they can't just take it from us without our say so.

NO to troops in our cities

It's our country and Donald Trump isn't going to simply waltz in and take it from us!

I live in Portland, Oregon and I inend to continue being an American - free to say my mind, gather with others to protest, and freely vote for my future.

All my life I've been proud to be an American, to be part of this grand experiment. But that's the point isn't it? It's an experiment - in making our own choices and in engaging in our own governance - that we're participating in and that experiment is currently under some real stress.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (๐ŸŽฅ: Elias Eliahu)
